You got to drink champagne - to dive right in 
they're gonna throw their arms around you 
So do cocaine - to get right in 
they're gonna drown you now that they've found you 

Just try to exhale - and honestly – would you trust me? 
Just try not to fail - oh yeah 

Honestly - you gotta be – pretty real - and really 
pretty 
And a bit serious inside – but entertaining for denial 

So please show me – a way to make it ...
So please show me – a way to make it ...
So please show me – a way to make it ...
Work – cause I don't see a way right now

You got to wipe the vomit off your dress 
and by the way your nose is bleeding 
I didn't mean to cause a mess 
ripping off the hand that's feeding 

Just try to exhale - and honestly – would you trust me? 
Just try not to fail - oh yeah 

Honestly - you gotta be – pretty real - and really 
pretty
And a bit serious inside – but entertaining for denial 

Hey – you got to pay for every kiss (it's better not to 
be great) 
Hey – love is expensive nowadays (it's better not to be 
great) 
Hey – you gotta be just laid back (it's better not to 
be great) 
Hey-hey – for you nothing's for free (it's better not 
to be) 

Honestly - you gotta be – pretty real - and really 
pretty 
And a bit serious inside – but entertaining for denial
