[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]
People running everywhere
Not one place to go
Got no time to look around
To find out where they are
Where they are
Where they are

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]
People having such a race
Don't know where it ends
Got beat the other man
At getting anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere

[Chorus: Robert Lamm]
Hollywood
Crazy neighborhood
Never understood why I stay
Hollywood
Lovely lady who'd
Make you feel good every day

[Verse 3: Robert Lamm, All]
Feeling the night's past fire
Under the glowing eyes
Of the sweet butterflies
Watch what you say
When you say it
Someone you know
Will betray it
Will betray it
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Robert Lamm]
Hollywood
Oh, crazy neighborhood
Never understood why I stay

[Post-Chorus: All]
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine

[Bridge: Robert Lamm]
Telling lies telling lies
Hollywood, Hollywood
Things are weak
Things are weak

[Outro: Robert Lamm]
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
