"Poor Charlotte" lyrics

Charlotte wanted to be a starlet
And kiss the blues goodbye
But all it did was make the little girl cry

Ever since she was a child, poor Charlotte
Dreamed of being a movie queen
Riding high on the Hollywood scene
She had to leave
Leave her own town
'Cause she claimed it was getting her down
So she left and was Hollywood bound

Poor Charlotte, poor Charlotte
Wanted to be a starlet
If she had only listened to me
She would be happy

Charlotte knew that she was fine, poor Charlotte
Didn't know she wouldn't outshine
All the pretty girls that stood in line
Charlotte met this gigolo, poor Charlotte
He promised she'd have her own show
But she was green and just didn't know

Yeah, she really wanted that show
Oh, how she really wanted that show
But the show fell through
She was so misused
And found herself all alone and blue

Charlotte finally made the headlines, poor Charlotte
Had fulfilled her childhood dream
By riding high on the Hollywood scene
Mmm
As the siren screamed, poor Charlotte
Was rushed from the top of a hill
She had taken too many pills

Whoa, Charlotte, poor Charlotte
Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte
Poor Charlotte (Charlotte, Charlotte)
Poor Charlotte
Poor Charlotte
Poor Charlotte

Alright, let's move that crowd back over there
Listen, all you people move back, all youse people move back
Let's get that ambulance in here
Hey, Rogers over there, get rid of those newspaper people
What do you think is going on here?
This ain't no circus going on around here (Poor Charlotte)
Let's move it outta here, get outta here
(Poor Charlotte)
