[Verse 1]
Take it back to the start
When love was young and free
Take it back to the start
The night before the dream

[Refrain]
These days, I wan't the real shit or nothing at all, at all
These days, I wan't the real shit or nothing at all, at all

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, we don't need a superficial love
We're already beautiful enough

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, we don't need a superficial love
We're already beautiful enough
We won't make believe what we're made of
We don't need a superficial love

[Verse 2]
We don't need to behave
Or seen within a scene
We don't need to be safe
Or painted in a theme

[Refrain]
These days you gotta be gutsy or nothing at all, at all

[Bridge]
We're drinking in the park
We're careless after dark
Tomorrow's never there
Just kids without a care

Like flashes in the pan
Or diamonds on the hand
In 1999
The story of our lives

[Chorus]
We don't need a superficial love (We don't need a superficial love)
We're already beautiful enough (We're beautiful, we're beautiful)
We won't make believe what we're made of
We don't need a superficial love (Superficial love)
