The Girl Can't Stop

(album: Man Overboard - 1980)

The girl can't stop

Oh, that magical power, directing her dreams
But her only dream was to be up on the screen
Yes, and though she had my love, it didn't seem real
It was the power of a million lovers she need to fool

She got to make it in Hollywood
Making it to the top
She knows that it might destroy her, but the girl can't stop
She got to make it in Hollywood
Making it to the top
She knows that I really love her, but the girl can't stop

She can't stop

She didn't need money
I had some of that
But she needed to know it was her those eyes were looking at
Now she's selling her secrets, and shopping her past
She was a beautiful baby
But she's getting old fast

She got to make it in Hollywood
Yeah, reaching out for the top
To feel the eyes of a million lovers
The girl can't stop
She got to make it in Hollywood
Feeling her way to the top
Well, she knows that I really love her, but the girl can't stop
