Live the American dream with billboards picturin’ me,
my name on Hollywood Boulevard. (I want it so much)
LA state of mind, I’m never satisfied,
cuz I want number one, doesn’t everyone?
(want it so much, much)
So, I was up late the other night,
comparin’ myself to others’ lives,
scrollin’ up and down my phone –
what does she have that I don’t?
My dreams so big, they’re supersize,
I chase them like I chase the light,
I could live a simple life…
But that’s the thing with the ambition, (want it so much)
everythin’s a competition. (so out of touch)
Yeh it got me a lot but that’s not good enough –
I wanna be lo-lo-loved.
I live and learn the hard way, (want it so much)
yeh it’s a chronic heartbreak. (so out of touch)
No it never stops,
I wanna be your star,
I wanna be lo-lo-loved.
Lo-loved, loved, lo-o-oved…
Raised on validation,
consumed by aspiration,
numbers meanin’ more than words
but what’s it worth? (what you gonna do – it’s human nature)
Millions of people listenin’,
so driven, couldn’t live in it,
didn’t appreciate it then,
wish I could go back again.
My dreams so big, they’re supersize,
I chase them like I chase the light,
I could live a simple life…
But that’s the thing with the ambition, (want it so much)
everythin’s a competition. (so out of touch)
Yeh it got me a lot but that’s not good enough –
I wanna be lo-lo-loved.
I live and learn the hard way, (want it so much)
yeh it’s a chronic heartbreak. (so out of touch)
No it never stops,
I wanna be your star,
I wanna be lo-lo-loved.
See, I’ve been doin’ this long enough to be scarred from what I learned before,
but that doesn’t mean I wanna stop wanting more and more.
I try to push it away
but at the end of the day
it’s the world to me.
I’ll keep breakin’ my heart
if I can be your star
if I can be lo-lo-loved…
That’s the thing with the ambition, (want it so much)
everythin’s a competition. (so out of touch)
Yeh it got me a lot but that’s not good enough –
I wanna be lo-lo-loved.
I live and learn the hard way, (want it so much)
yeh it’s a chronic heartbreak. (so out of touch)
No it never stops,
I wanna be your star,
I wanna be lo-lo-loved.
Lo-loved, loved, lo-o-oved…
