If all the world's a stage
Then you're my favorite actress
If all of life's a game
I sure could use the practice
I wouldn't call this a love song

You want me pounding on the church door
Singing from the streetlight
Oh it's the kind of love that doesn't exist anymore
You want hollywood; this is real life

I wanna kiss you in the pouring rain
I say I loved you from the first time I saw you
It's a surefire way to get your heart to break
That's hollywood; this is real life
You want hollywood

If all the world's a stage
Then you're my favorite actress
And if all of life's a game
I sure could use the practice
Oh, I wouldn't call this a love song

You want me pounding on the church door
Singing from the streetlight
Oh it's the kind of love that doesn't exist anymore
You want hollywood and this is real life

I wanna kiss you in the pouring rain
I say I loved you from the first time I saw you
It's a surefire way to get your heart to break
That's hollywood, and this is real life
You want hollywood, and this is real life

You want me pounding on the church door
Singing from the streetlight
Oh it's the kind of love that doesn't exist anymore
You want hollywood, and this is real life

I wanna kiss you in the pouring rain
I say I loved you from the first time I saw you
It's a surefire way to get your heart to break
That's hollywood, and this is real life
You want hollywood, and this is real life
