Take Me Back To Hollywood
[Intro: Women, Men & Both]
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah,
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah

[Verse 1]
It was a black night, cat night, hell of a night
To be at home alone
I headed for a singles bar
Planned to get stoned

[Verse 2]
A sweet lady smiled, high on a stool, lookin' blue
Drinkin' wine
I asked for the time
She looked at me, I read her life in her eyes
And she said

[Chorus]
Take me back to Hollywood
That's where dreams come true
Show me all the magic
I used to know
Take me back to Hollywood
Let a star shine through
Dance me back to hеaven
With you
[Interlude: Women & Men & Women]
Ooh-Ah, ooh-ah

[Verse 3]
She wore a pink hat, shе had eyes of a cat
They lied about her age
I know I'd seen her face somewhere
High on a stage

[Verse 4]
She lit up a king-size cigarette, slowly let
Out the smoke
Gave me her coat
Sat by my side in silk and lace, full of grace
When she said

[Chorus]
Take me back to Hollywood
That's where dreams come true
Show me all the magic
I used to know
Take me back to Hollywood
Let a star shine through
Dance me back to heaven
With you
[Bridge]
She gave me an old, so outta sight, black and white
Photograph
Started to laugh
Paid for the drinks an' taxi fare, brushed her hair
Then she said

[Chorus]
Take me back to Hollywood
That's where dreams come true
Show me all the magic
I used to know
Take me back to Hollywood
Let a star shine through
Dance me back to heaven
With you
