Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sweet life livin'
Pools and swimming
Drinks in bars and
Boys in cars and
Rooftop sinning
Skinny dipping
Shooting stars
With fat cigars and
[Verse 2]
That weekend up in the islands
They stop and stare
Flashes filling the silence
Of a Hollywood love affair
Walking up in the islands
'Cause I saw you there
Lost and trying to be
[Verse 3]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
[Verse 4]
Mansion debut
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
[Verse 5]
That weekend up in the islands
They stop and stare
Flashes filling the silence
Of a Hollywood love affair
Walking up in the islands
'Cause I saw you there
Lost and trying to be
[Verse 6]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
[Verse 7]
When 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
[Verse 8]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
[Verse 9]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
[Verse 10]
When 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
[Verse 11]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
