Well, the last time I saw you baby
You had a look that you called divine
Well, you drove all the boys crazy
With a wink of your eye

You bought a house on the hill
(Ooh, that's what you want)
You bought your happiness on sale
(That's what you need)
And now it's all runnin' out
(Oh, you're so alone)

Bright lights, big city
(Right down to the bone)
Tattooed and jaded
Celebrity, you're so bittersweet
And when your looks outdated
You go running around and around

And if you want to chase that ghost
Baby, that's alright by me
Where you sold your soul
Girl, I told you so
Yeah, just don't come runnin' to me

Well, come on, come on, now baby
I know you're trying hard to look so chic
But I can see that your beauty's fading
I know it's hard to believe

And now you're trapped on the hill
(Ooh, that's what you want)
You put your happiness on sale
(That's what you need)
But you're the hottest thing around
(Oh, you're so alone)

Lights, camera, action
(Turn the celluloid on)
Worn out and faded
Reality just doesn't relate
And when you're overrated
You go running around and around

And if you want to chase that ghost
Baby, that's alright by me
Where you sold your soul
Girl, I told you so
Yeah, just don't come runnin' to me

So glamorous, you know it's true
You think the whole world revolves around you
Yeah, you do
Well, you, you, do, do, do

If you want to chase that ghost
Baby, that's alright by me
Where you sold your soul
Girl, I told you so
Yeah, just don't come runnin' to me

And in the morning, evening, baby, afternoon
Don't you come runnin' to me
Well, the next time I see you it'll be too soon
Don't you come runnin' to me

And in the magazine, on the TV screen
Don't you come runnin' to me
In your short little skirt, in your tight blue jeans
Don't you come runnin' to me
