Because of You
On the streets of LAWhere the future is nowWe dance like nobody's watching usAnd we live like we want toBut it can all get a little crazyUnless there's something to hold ontoFor me, that was true love
I was a young girl, selfish and wildLike a fire in LAHot like the summer and mean like a childWho keeps crying till she gets her way(like a true star)There were roses in my hair, rock n roll on blare, and I was in troubleAnd no one could rock me like you couldI was a bad girl gone good
Look at me now, I have everythingYou gave to me and my heart can singI was a kid who could only drinkDance on tables, makin' deal with devils ,like a drunk beauty queenFighting the fantasy, hooked on the scene, and it brought me to my kneesAnd it's all... because... of you
(you know what I'm talkin' about)
It was a mad world, we lived for funAnd we got shit for freeHad a face like an angel, but inside my heart was as black as a broke movie screen(It was pretty sad)But then I saw you standing there, like a millionaireGive me a number, call me before I get stupidMake me uncrazy like you did
Look at me now, I have everythingYou gave to me and my heart can singI was a kid who could only drinkDance on tables, makin' deal with devils like a drunk beauty queenFighting the fantasy, hooked on the scene, but you brought me to my kneesAnd it's all... because... of you
It isn't hard to see, you got a hold on me, give me your money, love me to deathTalk like a baby, cause I'm so elatedYou 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)
Roses in my hair, dancing in the air, feels like I'm flyingTell me you love me, boy, do itIt's just like I thought, I just knew it
Look at me now, I have everythingYou gave to me and my heart can singI was a kid who could only drinkDance on tables, makin' deals with devils like a drunk beauty queenFighting the fantasy, hooked on the scene, you bring me to my kneesAnd it's all ... because... of youYeah it's all... because... of you
