The Ambition Lyrics


Zara Larsson The Ambition

[Verse 1]
Live the American dream with billboards picturing me
My name on Hollywood Boulevard (Want it so much)
LA state of mind, I'm never satisfied 'cause I want number one
Doesn't everyone? (Want it so much, much)

[Pre-Chorus]
So, I was up late the other night
Comparing myself to others' lives
Scrolling up and down my phone
What does she have that I don't?
My dreams so big, they're supersized
I chase them like I chase the light
I could live a simple life
[Chorus]
But that's the thing with the ambition (Want it so much)
Everything's a competition (So out of touch)
Yeah, it got me a lot, but that's not good enough
I wanna be lo-lo-loved
I live and learn the hard way (Want it so much)
Yeah, it's a chronic heartbreak (So out of touch)
No, it never stops, I wanna be your star
I wanna be lo-lo-loved

[Post-Chorus]
Lo-loved
Loved
Lo-o-oved

[Verse 2]
Raise on validation
Consumed by aspiration
Numbers meaning more than words
But what's it worth? (Can't help how I feel, it's human nature)

[Pre-Chorus]
Millions of people listening
Soul-driven, couldn't live in it
Didn't appreciate it then
Wish I could go back again
My dreams so big, they're supersized
I chase them like I chase the light
I could live a simple life
[Chorus]
But that's the thing with the ambition (Want it so much)
Everything's a competition (So out of touch)
Yeah, it got me a lot, but that's not good enough
I wanna be lo-lo-loved
I live and learn the hard way (Want it so much)
Yeah, it's a chronic heartbreak (So out of touch)
No, it never stops, I wanna be your star
I wanna be lo-lo-loved

[Bridge]
See, I've been doing this long enough to be scarred from what I've learned before (Ooh-ooh)
But that doesn't mean I wanna stop wanting more and more
I try to push it away, but at the end of the day
It's the world to me
I'll keep breaking my heart if I can be your star (Ooh-ooh)
If I can be lo-lo-loved

[Chorus]
That's the thing with the ambition (Want it so much)
Everything's a competition (So out of touch)
Yeah, it got me a lot, but that's not good enough
I wanna be lo-lo-loved (I wanna be loved)
I live and learn the hard way (Want it so much)
Yeah, it's a chronic heartbreak (So out of touch)
No, it never stops, I wanna be your star
I wanna be lo-lo-loved
[Post-Chorus]
Lo-loved
Loved
Lo-o-oved
