Sweet life livin'
Pools and swimming
Drinks in bars and
Boys in cars and
Rooftop sitting
Skinny-dipping
Shooting stars with you
Fat cigars and
That weekend up in the islands
They stop and stare
Flashes filling the silence
Of a Hollywood love affair
Waking up in the islands
'Cause I saw you there
Lost and tryin' to be
I was just tryin' to be cool
I was just tryin' to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
Mansion début
Love it, do you?
Absent father
Pays his daughter
And her mama withdrew
From the life they once knew
She had a heart, but
She sold it off for
That weekend up in the islands
They stop and stare
Flashes filling the silence
Of a Hollywood love affair
Waking up in the islands
'Cause I saw you there
Lost and tryin' to be
I was just tryin' to be cool
I was just tryin' to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
Well, I've got that cigarette smoke
And Saint Laurent coat
But nothing is feeling right
I drink, but I choke
I love but I don't, yeah
I was just tryin' to be cool
I was just tryin' to be like you
I was just tryin' to be cool
I was just tryin' to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
Well, I've got that cigarette smoke
And Saint Laurent coat
But nothing is feeling right
I drink, but I choke
I love but I don't, yeah
I was just tryin' to be cool
I was just tryin' to be like you
