I Blame Hollywood Lyrics

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn
I wish that's how I felt
I just can't hide the fool that I am
As I let you walk away into the sunset
It's just another famine
I try to do the right thing
I ended up with nothing good

I blame Hollywood

I tried to be strong, to be brave, to behave like a hero (hero)
I tried to be tough, to be cool, to be smooth like De Niro (De Niro)
But it hurts without you
And I look like a fool
And I don't have a clue what to say when love breaks down
'Cause this ain't Tinseltown

I made a mistake
I got confused
It's easy to forget
'Cause this is real life
With so much to lose
When I let you walk away into the sunset
I wasn't brokenhearted
It'd be a happy ending but
I ended up with nothing good

And I blame Hollywood

I tried to be strong, to be brave, to behave like a hero (hero)
I tried to be tough, to be cool, to be smooth like De Niro (De Niro)
But it hurts without you
And I look like a fool
And I don't have a clue what to say when love breaks down
'Cause this ain't Tinseltown
No oh oh
Tinseltown, oh
Tinseltown, no oh oh
Tinseltown

I fell for the lines
You knew that I would
Hurray for Hollywood

I tried to be strong, to be brave, to behave like a hero (hero)
I tried to be tough, to be cool, to be smooth like De Niro (De Niro)
But it hurts without you
And I look like a fool
And I don't have a clue what to say when love breaks down
'Cause this ain't Tinseltown
