Lyrics
[Intro]
We are, we are, we are
[Verse 1]
L.A. on a Saturday night in the summer
Sundown and they all come out
Lamborghinis and their rented Hummers
The party's on, so they're heading downtown
[Verse 2]
Everybody's looking for a come-up
And they wanna know what you're about
Me in the middle with the one I'm loving
We're just tryna figure everything out
[PreChorus]
We don't fit in well
'Cause we are just ourselves
I could use some help
Getting out of this conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear
So don't ask that question here
This is my only fear
That we become
[Chorus]
Beautiful people
Drop-top, designer clothes
Front row at fashion shows
"What d'you do?" and "Who d'you know?"
Inside the world of
[Chorus]
Beautiful people
Champagne and rolled-up notes
Pre-nups and broken homes
Surrounded, but still alone
Let's leave the party
[Chorus]
That's not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
Yeah, that's not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
[Verse 3]
L.A.
Mmm
Drove for hours last night and we made it nowhere
I see stars in your eyes when we're halfway there
I'm not fazed by all the lights and flashing cameras
'Cause with my arms around you, there's no need to care
[PreChorus]
We don't fit in well
We are just ourselves
I could use some help
Getting out of this conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear
So don't ask that question here
This is my only fear
That we become
[Chorus]
Beautiful people
Drop-top, designer clothes
Front row at fashion shows
"What d'you do?" and "Who d'you know?"
Inside the world of
[Chorus]
Beautiful people
Champagne and rolled-up notes
Pre-nups and broken homes
Surrounded, but still alone
Let's leave the party
[Chorus]
That's not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
Yeah, that's not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
