And Carol’s got a new plan
She’s savin’ all her money and givin’ away her guardian angel
She pays no mind to what her daddy would say, as she drives away
And Carol’s walkin’ in someone elses shoes, I think she’s gonna lose

She says she’ll take a little chance to put her star in the sky
Now I'm not one to criticize
But the man with the mask could be trouble out there ‘cause he don’t care

But Carol’s gonna let him pay her dues and that’s no good
And if Hollywood doesn’t break her heart, I would (oh, I guess I would)

And she's not falling in love, no graces from heaven above
And I’m not waitin’ by my telephone, ’cause we got nothin' to talk about anymore

Oooh, don’t you see what she did to me
I’m a twisted little pretzel on the edges of existence and I don’t wanna sleep no more
She don’t understand the consequence of love

And Carol’s walkin’ around with small town blues (she thinks she’s got no use)
And if Hollywood doesn’t lose control, I would (yeah, oh I know I would)
And now I’m hoping that those laces come loose (yeah, just like they should)
And if Hollywood doesn’t understand, well I would
Oh yes I would
