Close the door and take the stairs.
|
Up or down? Ups and downs.
|
Don't pretend you've never been there.
|
You kiss me like an overdramatic actor who's starving for work,
|
with one last shot to make it happen.
|
You've won the role, you've played your part, you've been cordially invited.
|
But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited.
|
'Cause the film runs a shallow budget, and the writer's subject script isn't any deeper.
|
So dive right in...
|
|
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
|
hey you, who are you kidding?
|
I'm not like them. I won't buy in.
|
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
|
hey you, who are you kidding?
|
Don't quit 'til 47.
|
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Take back everything you ever said.
|
You never meant a word of it. You never did.
|
Take back everything you said.
|
You never meant a word of it. You never did.
|
|
She said 'Alright, Alright, slow down!"
|
Oh no, oh no, we won't.
|
'Cause I regret every thing that I said
|
To ever make her feel like she was something special,
|
Or that she ever really mattered.
|
Or did she ever really matter?
|
|
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
|
hey you, who are you kidding?
|
I'm not like them. I won't buy in.
|
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
|
just don't count on this summer.
|
Don't quit 'til 47.
|
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I'm not saying that I'm not breaking some hearts tonight, girl.
|
Oh...
|
I'm not saying that I'm not breaking some hearts tonight, girl.
|
|
Alright, alright, slow down...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
|
hey you, who are you kidding?
|
I'm not like them. I won't buy in.
