Lesson Learned Lyrics

Her momma looked so good
Her daddy worked so hard
They lived in Hollywood
They didn't know one star
She was a spoiled child
She drove the young boys wild
It was a quick success
But she lacked tenderness

The glitter and the sparkle
Of a brand new world
Are enough to fool a sheltered girl
If she's lucky she won't get too burned
Maybe this will be a lesson learned
Might be a lesson learned

She made it in the shade
Show business pantomime
It was the last parade
That she would march in time
Her face was so serene
She's overkill on screen
I hear they pay good cash
For that snuff flick trash

The glitter and the sparkle
Of a brand new world
Are enough to fool a sheltered girl
She wasn't lucky and she got burned
Maybe this will be a lesson learned
Might be a lesson learned
