Hollywood is a district in Los Angeles, California, United States situated west-northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the word Hollywood is often used as a metonym of American cinema. Today, much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as the Westside neighborhood, and the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, but significant auxiliary industries, such as editing, effects, props, post-production, and lighting companies remain in Hollywood, as does the backlot of Paramount Pictures.
On February 16, 2005, California Assembly Members Jackie Goldberg and Paul Koretz introduced a bill to require California to keep specific records on Hollywood as if it were independent, although it is not the typical practice of the City of Los Angeles to establish specific boundaries for districts or neighborhoods. For this to be done, the boundaries were defined. The bill was unanimously supported by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the Los Angeles City Council. Assembly Bill 588 was approved by the Governor of California on August 28, 2006, and now the district of Hollywood has official borders. The border can be loosely described as the area east of West Hollywood, south of Mulholland Drive, Laurel Canyon, Cahuenga Boulevard, and Barham Boulevard, and the cities of Burbank and Glendale, north of Melrose Avenue and west of the Golden State Freeway and Hyperion Avenue. This includes all of Griffith Park and Los Feliz[citation needed] – two areas that were hitherto considered separate from Hollywood by most Angelenos. The population of the district, including Los Feliz, as of the 2000 census was 123,436 and the median household income was $33,409 in 1999.
I know she says she wants me
I hear it every day
And I know she know it keeps me
Well there ain't no other way
But she's got a heart
Must be made of stone
'Cos when I tell her that
She'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"Who said I would?"
She knows it ain't easy
For a simple boy like me
She fills me full of loving
Oh, then she sets me free
But she's got a heart
Must be made of stone
'Cos when I tell her that
She'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"Who said I would"?
Tell me, "Who said I would?
Who said I would?
(Who said I would?)
Who said I would?"
I'm not the only one but I do fine
I suit her purpose and I'm just her kind
I don't own her and I never could
Don't think I do, don't think I should
Tell me
"Who said I would?"
(Who said I would?)
Who said I would?
But she's got a heart
Must be made of stone
And when I tell her that
She'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"You're not the only one, but you do fine
You suit my purpose and you're just my kind
You don't own me and you never could
Don't think you do, don't think you should"
Who said I would?
(Who said I would?)
Now she knows when she calls me
I'll come runnin' every time
And she knows she gets me hot
But she don't know it's her body never mine
And she's got a heart
Must be made of stone
'Cos when I tell her that
She'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
"Who said I would?"
Tell me, "Who said I would?
Who said I would?
Who said I would?"
Who said I would?
Who said I would?
(Who said I would?)
