Paroles de la chanson
Don't you think that it's boring how people talk
Making smart with their words again – well, I'm bored
Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killing it
Never not chasing the million things I want
And I am only as young as the minute is full of it
Getting pumped up on the little bright things I bought
But I know they'll never own me (Yeah)
Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah)
We're so happy even when we're smiling out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)
Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane
I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space
But my head's filling up fast with the wicked games, up in flames
How can they f*ck with the fun again when I'm known
And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them
Everything's cool when we're all in line for the throne
But I know it's not forever (Yeah)
Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah)
We're so happy even when we're smiling out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)
It looked alright in the pictures (Yeah)
Getting caught's off with the trip though, isn't it (Yeah)
I'll fall apart, with all my heart (Yeah)
You could watch from your window (Yeah)
You could watch from your window
Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah)
We're so happy even when we're smiling out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)
And talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)
And talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)
And talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)
And talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)
