She stops and checks her reflection in a car parked on the corner
She says its hell on me this working down at the diner
Some people say man she was hot back when she was younger
Yeah well she was a dancer when she lived in LA
Well she was someone’s baby doll
A beauty queen to someone long ago
For the midnight show
Its time to wake up baby doll
Put your best dress and your high heals on
And dream your gone
When you close your eyes
You hear the music playing
You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight
And when she sleeps she dreams she’s back in Hollywood
When she was a younger girl – a pretty heart in a tainted world
Not sure who you wanna be
Your daddy’s little drama queen
I hope that when you find yourself
You’re more than just a baby doll

when I taught kindergarten, there was a grandmother who insisted we call her grandchild sparkle baby. Like when calling roll, we had to call out... sparkle baby...
she was someone's baby doll... I always wondered how long she would have to be sparkle baby... junior high? High school?
because...
I hadn't heard this song in a long time and I love it.
because...
I hope you are someone's baby doll... forever and always.

I hope that when you find yourself, you're more than just a baby doll.
