Lyrics
They Don?t Say Her Name Anymore
Words & Music by Terence Davis,
Tesk Publishing c 2005 Ascap
V1
She came for fame and fortune,
To the bright lights of L.A.
Her dream was to be in movies,
And she wanted her friends to say?.
That she?s gonna be a big star
She?s different than before
But back in her home town,
They don?t say her name
They don?t say her name
They don?t say her name anymore
V2
A wanna-be who had to wear
Her skirts and sweaters tight
Who had to have the richest guys
take her out at night
she wants them all back home to say
She?s different than before
But back in her home town,
They don?t say her name
They don?t say her name
They don?t say her name anymore
Bridge
Secretly she finds a way
And makes the rich men pay
Gives herself and dreams her dream
They can have her any way
Now she can live another month or two,
If she does what they want her to,
Pretends it?s gonna happen soon,
That this dream somehow comes true
V3
A wanna-be who?s in L.A.
Trying to make her rent
Partying every night and day
The money all gets spent
she wants them all back home to say
That she?s different than before
But back in her home town
They don?t say her name
They don?t say her name
They don?t say her name anymore
