[Spoken Intro]
On the streets of LA
Where the future is now
We dance like nobody is watching us
And we live like we want to
But it can all get a little crazy
Unless there's something to hold on to
For me, that was true love

[Verse 1]
I was a young girl, selfish and wild
Like a fire in L.A
Hot like the summer and mean like a child
Who keeps crying 'til she gets her way
(Like a true star)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
There were roses in my hair
Rock and roll on blare and I was in trouble
No one could rock me like you could
I was a bad girl gone good

[Chorus]
Look at me now, I have everything
You gave to me and my heart can sing
I was a kid who could only dream
Dance on tables, making deals with devils
Like a drunk beauty queen
Fighting the fantasy, hooked on the scene
And it brought me to my knees
And it's all because of you
(You know what I'm talkin' about)

[Verse 2]
It was a mad world, we lived for fun
And we got shit for free
Had a face like an angel but inside my heart
Was as black as a broke movie screen
(It was pretty sad)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But then I saw you standing there
Like a millionaire, give me your number
Call me before I get stupid
Make me uncrazy like you did

[Chorus]
Look at me now, I have everything
You gave to me and my heart can sing
I was a kid who could only dream
Dance on tables, making deals with devils
Like a drunk beauty queen
Fighting the fantasy, hooked on the scene
And it brought me to my knees
And it's all because of you

[Bridge]
It isn't hard to see you've got a hold on me
Give me your money, love me to death
Talk like a baby cause I'm so elated
He tell me that I ain't seen nothing quite yet
I don't wanna lose it
I'm in love but I didn't choose it

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Roses in my hair, dancing in the air
Feels like I'm flying
Tell me you love me, boy, do it
It's just like I thought, I just knew it

[Chorus]
Look at me now, I have everything
You gave to me and my heart can sing
I was a kid who could only dream
Dance on tables, making deals with devils
Like a drunk beauty queen
Fighting the fantasy, hooked on the scene
And it brought me to my knees
And it's all because of you
Yeah, it's all because of you
