A rags to b*tches tale.
Al Corley (born May 22, 1956 in Wichita, Kansas) is an American actor, singer and producer. In the late 1970s, he worked as a doorman at Studio 54. He would later appear in a VH1 Behind the Music special on Studio 54 to recount his experiences.
Corley is best known as the first actor to play Steven Carrington on the 1980s soap opera Dynasty. After that, Corley acted in fourteen movies, then produced five. Corley left Dynasty at the end of the second season in 1982 after complaining about Steven's "ever-shifting sexual preferences" and wanting "to do other things". The character was recast in 1983 with Jack Coleman; the change in appearance attributed to plastic surgery after an oil rig explosion. Coleman remained on the show until 1988, but Corley returned to the role of Steven for the 1991 miniseries Dynasty: The Reunion when Coleman was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts.
He was also known as a singer in the 1980s. His 1984 New Wave single "Square Rooms", from his debut album of the same name became a number one hit in France (in 1985), also reaching #6 in Switzerland, #12 in Italy (in 1985), #13 in Germany, #15 in Austria and #80 in the U.S. The same year, he released "Cold Dresses", which was also a big hit in France, reaching #5. His second album, Riot of Color was released in 1986, and a third album, Big Picture followed in 1988.
Corley (and the associated hamlets of Corley Ash and Corley Moor) is a village and civil parish in the North Warwickshire district of Warwickshire, England. It is located about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northwest of Coventry and is adjacent to the village of Fillongley. The M6 motorway runs close by, and the village is familiar to motorists as it is the site of Corley Services. Other significant buildings in the area include Corley Hall, which was built in the 16th century.
Corley is also home to Corley Cricket Club, which entered its 60th season in 2007. One of the club's most notable former players is James Ormond, who went on to represent England. The club has also seen many of its players compete at county level, including Race Williams and John Wilson, the latter representing Leicestershire young cricketers.

Another broken heart
Another tragic play
Another scene o' grievin'
Over and over.
A woman falls apart
She's beggin' me to stay
But I'm only leavin'
Over and over.
Refrain:
Why should I care?
How can it be?
I got used to gettin' to girls
And now one o' them gets to me.
Chorus:
She's over me, over me
Over me, she's over me
Over me, over me
She's over me, over me.
(Repeat 1st 2 lines)
My moves were mostly learned
My lines were well-rehearsed
I made a cool impression
Over, it's over.
I'm scared of gettin' burned
The roles have been reversed
My famous self-possession
Over, it's over.
Refrain:
Down on my knees
Don't ask me why
Same old Donna I've been playin' for years
But I'm playin' the other side
(Repeat Chorus)
(Instrumental)
Thinking in square rooms
a human without illusions
Sad strains on a sad face
is that what we've come to?
Is the world bold
this love old
moving nowhere
and it's gonna cold.
The wind stops
the clouds go
we're all alone.
I know
I can see those.
I know
I can see those.
I can feel those
I can see those.
Ohl oh
square rooms
square rooms.
They don't listen
they don't care
if a man is in despair.
square rooms
square rooms. ...
Walks
long and long clears the vision of one with one
And you still move me
you undo me like you've always done.
But I realize now we've not made you out of words now
Just you and me
just you and me until the end of time.
I know
I can see those. . . .
square rooms
square rooms. ...
square rooms
square rooms. ...
square rooms
Thinking in square rooms
A human without illusions
Sad strains on a sad face
Is that what we've come to?
Is the world bold
This love old
Moving nowhere
And it's gonna cold.
The wind stops
The clouds go
We're all alone.
I know
I can see those.
I know
I can see those.
I can feel those
I can see those.
Ohl oh
Square rooms
Square rooms.
They don't listen
They don't care
If a man is in despair.
Square rooms
Square rooms. ...
Walks
Long and long clears the vision of one with one
And you still move me
You undo me like you've always done.
But I realize now we've not made you out of words now
Just you and me
Just you and me until the end of time.
I know
I can see those. . . .
Square rooms
Square rooms. ...
Square rooms
Square rooms. ...
Square rooms
I live my life forever
I live my dreams come true
If I can't forget,
I wave good-bye to you
Say so long my lover
Say so long my friend
The end is never near
As near as it might seem
Life is motion
And not in motion
No isolation
Justification
Life is motion
And not in motion
But how
Did I know
And how
Did I know
The cold dresses that she wore
That you wore
The cold dresses that she wore
Why did it take some long
For me to understand
I held on, held on too tight
As only lovers can
I wish you all the good, girl
Forget and don't look back
I won't wish that you were gone
'Cause I made sure of that
Life is motion
And not in motion
No isolation
Justification
Life is motion
And not in motion
But how
Did I know
Did I know
The cold dresses that she wore
That she wore
The cold dresses that she wore
Life is motion
And not in motion
Life is motion
And not in motion
No isolation
Justification
Life is motion
And not in motion
But how
Did I know
Did I know
The cold dresses that you wore
That you wore
The cold dresses that she wore
The cold dresses that you wore
That you wore
