Now don't you believe me
Oh can't you see I'm full of lies
Oh something
Oh something once pure 
I came to the city
To build a mountain of envy
And to marry a Kennedy 
So let's stay out tonight
I just can't stop it
I just can't stop it
Ooh, girl I say ooh
Whatever happened my friend
Ooh, girl I say ooh
Whatever happened my friend
Corey Haim 
So if I betray you
I won't be the first
You won't be the last
Oh something
Oh something once pure 
On Paramount Pictures
I'm Andy Warhol with other ....
Hey ... 
I'm the American dream 
So let's stay out tonight
You see, I just can't stop it
I just can't stop it
Ooh, girl I say ooh
Whatever happened my friend
Ooh, girl I say ooh
Whatever happened my friend
Yeah Corey Haim Haim Haim Haim 
So put on that dress tonight
You see, we just can't stop it
We just can't stop it
Ooh, hey girl I said ooh
Whatever happened my friend
Corey Haim 
Alright, alright... alllright
