Lyrics
V1.
I want a house in the Hollywood Hills
Looking down on L.A.
A bathroom laid with the finest marble
A jacuzzi and bidet
I want a bedroom cloaked in velvet
And a California King
Don't want your empty pillow
No sneaking in at 2
Don't want no lame excuses
And, babe, I don't want you
V2.
I want a trip to the Virgin Islands
Via a Caribbean cruise
A white sand beach bathed in sunlight
Swimming in tropical booze
I wanna party on a sunset catamaran
Doin' my mambo thing
Don't want no dancing partner
No slow dance for two
No tripping on lies fantastic
And, babe, I don't want you
Bridge
What have you been drinking to be thinking we were meant to be?
Babe, I'm on a mission and I'm wishing you away from me
V3.
I want a yellow Maserati
Cruisin' at the speed of sound
I blast my tunes just south of Vegas
And ease the hard top down
Kick it into gear on Interstate 15
While Stevie Ray bends wire
Don't want you riding shotgun
I need a change of view
I'm headed off in a new direction
And, babe, I don't want you
