Story Behind the Song
When I was writing Gypsy Cowgirl, I had to work a few different jobs to finance the album. One job that I had was working for Dick Clark on some of his many award shows. When we arrive at work, it is customary in Hollywood to greet one another like you haven't seen each other in years. Lots of hugging, compliments and kissing. In the middle of a vice grip bear hug, one of my Hollywood friends was saying how much he loved and adored me. I asked him--do you really love me or is that just Hollywood Love?
Lyrics
Leading men and leading ladies
Lights camera action
Dreams, schemes, the silver screen
Feature attraction
Swimmin Pools, movie stars
Fancy clothes, caviar
Everyone is someone else
No one is who they are
Ooh aah Hollywood Love
Ooo aah Hollywood Love
Love ya baby, love ya baby
Hollywood baby baby
Hoo ray Hollywood love
Press releases, paparazzi
Shameless self promotion,
If youre the type, youll get hype
Big as the ocean
In air kisses, a lip that misses
Plastic smiles and phony tears
The fine art of deception
So smooth, so sincere
Ooh aah Hollywood Love
Ooo aah Hollywood Love
Love ya baby, love ya baby
Hollywood baby baby
Hoo ray Hollywood love Chorus
Red carpet, golden statues
V.I.P. youve made the scene
Backstage passes, chauffeur drives you,
First class, limousine.
Perpetual mid-life crisis
Bein old is outta style
Shes old enough to have his baby
Young enough to be his child
Ooh aah Hollywood Love
Ooo aah Hollywood Love
Love ya baby, love ya baby
Hollywood baby baby
Hoo ray Hollywood love
Solo
5,4,3,2,1
Celluloid Affection
Black tie, evening gown
Movie star wins next election
Ruled by Tinseltown
Leading men and leading ladies
Illusion is such a thrill
Tell me what youd rather have
Fantasy or real to real.
Ooh aah Hollywood Love
Ooo aah Hollywood Love
Love ya baby, love ya baby
Hollywood baby baby
Hoo ray Hollywood love
Hoo ray Hollywood, real good hollywood, feel good hollywood, love
