Can I Speak Before You Go To Hollywoood by Labelle Lyrics

Have you got a minute, my friend?
Thought I'd drop in, say a word or two to you
It won't take long, soon you'll be gone on your way
Yes I know you're gonna do what you want to anyway
And I don't know if I should, but if I could
Can I speak to you, oh, before you go to Hollywood?

Don't be offended, my friend
I didn't intend to bring you down from the world that you're living in
I could be wrong, soon you'll be gone on your way
And tomorrow it could be you instead of me who has to say
I don't know if I should, but if I could
Can I speak to you, yeah, before you go to Hollywood?

I only want to say, learn the rules if you're gonna play
Because the game of life has a new winner every day
And I don't if I should, but if I could
Can I speak to you, yeah, oh, before you go to Hollywood?

Because I believe in you
Hope you do all the things you set out to do
Oh, I, I believe in you
Hope all your dreams come true
Have you got a minute, my friend
To consider the end of the fruitless seeds you sow with no regrets?
It won't take long, soon you'll be gone on your way
Just open up your eyes and see life for what it is
And see yourself as you should - have you understood?
Can I speak to you before you go to Hollywood?

Because I believe in you
Hope you do all the things you set out to do
I believe in you
Hope all your dreams come true
I believe in you
Hope all your dreams come true
I believe in you
Oh I, I believe in you and you and you and you and you, oh, I
I believe in you
Oh I, I believe in you and you and you and you and you, oh, I
I believe in you
Oh I, I believe in you and you and you and you and you
