Guess I'm just another girl that has fallen for you (you, you)
You're the definition of too good to be true (true, true)
Thinkin' of the days 'til the summer sunlight
How I used to dance to the sound of the night
Who would I've been if I never left you? (You, you)
California dream
So beautiful if you were real
Playin' the game to get up there
Drivin' fast lane, goin' nowhere
California dream
When nothing's really what it seems
Rollin' the dice, no it's not fair
Livin' the life, livin' on a prayer
California dream
♪
I came with open arms ready for the unknown (known, known)
A pocket full of stars, but I felt so alone (lone, lone)
Beautiful promises, they were all fake
Guess they were glass, 'cause diamonds don't break
All I was searchin' for was waitin' back home (home, home)

California dream
California dreamin', tell me what you're drinkin'
Packed up, bikinis on the women but no one's swimmin'
Everybody's two-faced, talkin' shit, copy-paste
Artificial, narcissistic, fake booty, t-touché
Hey, Tarantino let me get one of your lead roles
Let me be one of your heroes, and baby I'll end up aside of your speedos
Girls wear nothin' but lip-gloss, dancin' like they're in the strip-club
Los Angeles, your angels left, I'm leavin' too, no regrets

So beautiful if you were real (beautiful)
Playin' the game to get up there (California)
