about

... after so many years of being the beautiful girl & getting by on her looks, time has now marched on... she's not the pretty young thing she once was & men aren't falling over themselves trying to get her attention. She finds herself alone late at night, sitting on the floor in front of her mirror crying, hair disheveled, makeup askew & facing the reality that over the years she has played the game hard but the one thing that she always wanted, the one thing she always needed...'True Love" has eluded her... and now....

lyrics

SHE CALLED HIM JOEY, THOUGH IT WASN’T REALLY HIS NAME

A LIFETIME OF ILLUSION, SHE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY THE GAME

MEN COME & GO, AND THEY PROMISE HER THE WORLD

LIFE CAN BE A MYSTERY, WHEN YOU’RE A PRETTY GIRL

JUST DON’T BELIEVE

JUST DON’T BELIEVE

DREAMS COME TRUE [THEY NEVER DO…]

BACK WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR SCHOOL

SHE PLAYED THE PRETTY CARD & MEN CAN BE SUCH FOOLS

THEY WOULD BUY HER GIFTS, CARS & DIAMOND RINGS

IN DESIGNER FASHIONS, SHE WAS THE PRETTY THING

JUST DON’T BELIEVE

JUST DON’T BELIEVE

DREAMS COME TRUE [THEY NEVER DO…]

BACK HOME AT NIGHT, SHE’S CRYING ALL ALONE

HER MASCARA’S RUNNIN, HER LOOKS ARE ALMOST GONE

SHE GAVE IT HER BEST SHOT, SMILED THE BEST SHE COULD

HOPED TO FIND TRUE LOVE,

THOUGH SHE KNEW SHE NEVER WOULD

LIFE CAN BE A MYSTERY, WHEN YOU DON’T PLAY BY THE RULES

YOU TRY JUST TO GET OVER, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FOOLS

DON’T EVER QUESTION THE THINGS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND

YOU’LL NEVER FIND TRUE LOVE, JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN

JUST DON’T BELIEVE

JUST DON’T BELIEVE

DREAMS COME TRUE [THEY NEVER DO…]

BACK HOME AT NIGHT, SHE’S CRYING ALL ALONE

HER MASCARA’S RUNNIN, HER LOOKS ARE ALMOST GONE

SHE GAVE IT HER BEST SHOT, SMILED THE BEST SHE COULD

HOPED TO FIND TRUE LOVE,

THOUGH SHE KNEW SHE NEVER WOULD

HOPED TO FIND TRUE LOVE,

THOUGH SHE KNEW SHE NEVER WOULD……

JUST DON’T BELIEVE

JUST DON’T BELIEVE

DREAMS COME TRUE
