[Intro]
Once you've had something, something so beautiful
You'll never be the same

[Verse 1]
I'm a wild child, bright child, knockin' at your door
You thought that you were done but now you want me even more
Dum dum
You want me even more
Dum dum

[Verse 2]
I'm a star child, big smile, living in L.A
I'm coming over, baby, you can't go to school today
Dum dum
Go to school today
Dum dum

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I belong to a bygone era
Like the Scarlett O'Hara of the downtown scene
'Cause I just wanna dream, I just wanna drink
I'm a pop-blues singer, fam-bam zinger
Mansfield ringer from the Hollywood silver screen, silver screen

[Chorus]
Once you've had something, something so beautiful
You'll never be the same
Once you've had a taste of living my way
You'll be forever changed
[Verse 3]
I'm a wild child, sky high, lyin' on your floor
I know I had a lot, but baby wants a little more
Dum dum
Want a little more
Dum dum

[Verse 4]
In my white mink, pink cigarettes from the store
We're making robberies from Tijuana to the shore
Dum dum
'Juana to the shore
Dum dum

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I belong to a bygone era
Like the Bugsy Malone of the deep Sahara
'Cause I'm on the scene, yeah, I'm on the scene
I'm a bad jazz singer, givin' you the finger
No matter what, you'll linger
'Cause you like me even when I'm mean, I'm the queen

[Chorus]
Once you've had something, something so beautiful
You'll never be the same
Once you've had a taste of living my way
You'll be forever changed
Once you've had something, something so beautiful
You'll never be the same
Once you've had a taste of living my way
You'll be forever changed
