A girl in Hollywood there was I knew
She always said that she love me true
But don't you know, boy, she never do
She broke my heart and she left me blue
Yes, now she left and I'm all alone
I'm broken down and I'm on my own
She really cut me right to the bone
And I t'ink I'm a-losin' my mind
CHORUS:
Get me out of Hollywood
Take me home this ain't no good
Get me out of Hollywood
I t'ink I'm a-losin' my mind
I come to Hollywood for fortune and fame
To make some dollar and make some name
I t'ought I was on top of the game
Now, Lord, I wish I had never came
I run into this cute little chick
You know she make my heart jump and kick
She leave me holding the ugly stick
And I t'ink I'm a-losin' my mind
(Repeat Chorus)
(Instrumental Break)
This Hollywood's such a crazy town
It take you up and it bring you down
It make your poor head go spinning 'round
It leave you lying flat on the ground
You come you t'ink you will make it big
You end up dancing a crazy jig
I tell you man, it's a bummer gig
And I t'ink I'm a-losin' my mind
(Repeat Chorus)
The agent, man, he's a real crumb
He'll say, "Hey, boy, where you coming from?
What makes you think you're a special one?
You know we don't do this just for fun
I'm not in market for wasting time
Off you we could not make one thin dime
Go be a plumber or take up crime
And I t'ink I'm a-losin' my mind
Brrrrr!
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
Oh, I t'ink I'm a-losin' my mind
Oh-ho-o-o-oh, I t'ink I'm a-losin' my mind
Ah!
