Lyrics

"Daytona Meth" version

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

He's like a Hollywood movie
B-black and white, we're sparklin' truly
My man likes to watch me while I watch TV
While he's t-t-touching me

I remember vintage green wallpaper
Your criminal arms, I couldn't feel safer
King Creole daddy, chasin' that paper
I l-l-l-love you

Baby, you'll never be old in my eyes
With your golden grill, true love never dies
We're forever young in paradise
As long as you got the Chevrolet, I will ride, I will ride, I will ride

Baby, you know momma never had much money
But I plan on using this face to pay, honey
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
You so funny, love you till I die

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Who's living life like it's the Belvedere?
Swingin' all night on the crystal chandelier
Bring that velvet Elvis over here
Come on

Baby, you never know till you try
Baby, you never live till you die
Baby, you never love till you're mine
You're mine, you're mine, you're mine

"Hollywood Movie" version

It's like a Hollywood movie
Black and white, we're sparklin' truly
My man likes to watch me while I watch TV
While he's t-t-touching me

I remember vintage green wallpaper
Your criminal arms, I couldn't feel safer
King Creole daddy, chasin' that paper
Oh my

Baby, you'll never grow old in my eyes
With your golden grill, true love never dies
We're forever young in paradise
As long as you've got the Chevrolet, I will ride

It's like we're crazy as ever
Everything you say is way beyond clever
And I know that you are
