Bet you think I know your name already
You walk around like you deserve a crown
You think that I'll free fall, you're so Tom Petty
Like I've heard about you all over town
So get down off your white horse tonight
You're such a California king
The kind you fall for at seventeen
Look in the mirror and you'll see
The man of your dreams
You're the leading man, you're so Hollywood
A sidewalk star in your neighborhood
But you think you're James damn Dean
Such a California king
It's like you're on a stage the way you're acting
And you put on a real good show
But I ain't trying out for the part you're casting
Aren't there plenty other girls that can fill that role?
Yeah, I won't be your one night stand-in tonight, yeah
You're such a California king
The kind you fall for at seventeen
Look in the mirror and you'll see
The man of your dreams
You're the leading man, you're so Hollywood
A sidewalk star in your neighborhood
But you think you're James damn Dean
Such a California king
Ah, ah
California king
Ah, ah
So get down off your white horse tonight, yeah
You're such a California king
The kind you fall for at seventeen
Look in the mirror and you'll see
The man of your dreams
You're the leading man, you're so Hollywood
A sidewalk star in your neighborhood
But you think you're James damn Dean
Such a California king
California king
