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
 playing the game to get up there
 driving fast lane, going nowhere
 California dream
 when nothing's really what it seems
 rolling 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-one-one
 beautiful promises, they were all fake
 guess they were glass, 'cause diamonds don't break
 all I was searching for was waiting back home, home, home

 California dream
 so beautiful if you were real
 playing the game to get up there
 driving fast lane, going nowhere
 California dream
 when nothing's really what it seems
 rolling the dice, no it's not fair
 livin' the life, livin' on a prayer
 California dream

 California dreamin', tell me what you're drinking
 packed up, bikinis on the women but no one's swimmin'
 everybody's two-faced, talking shit, copy-paste
 artificial, narcissistic, fake booty, 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 nothing but lip-gloss, dancing like they're in the strip-club
 Los Angeles, your angels left, I'm leaving too, no regrets

 California dream
 so beautiful if you were real
 playing the game to get up there
 driving fast lane, going nowhere
 California dream
 when nothing's really what it seems
 rolling the dice, no it's not fair
 livin' the life, livin' on a prayer
 California dream

 California can wait for ya
 California can wait for ya
