[Verse 1]
Sweet life living
Pools and swimming
Drinks in bars and
Boys in cars and
Rooftop sinning
Skinny dipping
Shooting stars with you
Fat cigars and

[Pre-Chorus]
And that weekend up in the islands
They stop and stare
Flashes filling the silence
Of a Hollywood love affair
Waking up in the islands
Cause I saw you there
Lost and trying to be

[Chorus]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?

[Verse 2]
Mansion debut
Love it, do you?
Absent father
Pays his daughter
And her mama withdrew
From the life they once knew
She had a heart
But she sold it off for
[Pre-Chorus]
That weekend up in the islands
They stop and stare
Flashes filling the silencе
Of a Hollywood love affair
Waking up in the islands
Cause I saw you thеre
Lost and trying to be

[Chorus]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?

[Post-Chorus]
When I've got that cigarette smoke
And Saint Laurent coat, but nothing is feeling right
I drink but I choke
I love but I don't

[Chorus]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you

[Outro]
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
I was just trying to be cool
I was just trying to be like you
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?
