Shiny New Things

Ah-ah, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Are your eyes broken?
'Cause you can't look at me when you're talkin'
Always starin' over my shoulder
Did someone better just walk in?

Do you wanna trade up this conversation?
You've been workin' the room like the United Nations
And I hold back on my frustration
'Cause that's the way it is (the way it is)

(Ooh) don't wanna be a cynic, but anyway, spin it
(Ah)

Everybody wants shiny new things
Nobody wants a connection
Everybody wants shiny new things
And then they're on to the next one

Everybody wants shiny new things
Nobody's got pure intentions
Everybody wants shiny new things
Shiny, shiny new things, ah

Ah-ah (ah-ah), la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ah-ah (ah-ah), la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

I don't put myself above it
But don't let it control me
'Cause when gold's your only motive
It can get real lonely

(Ooh) don't wanna be a cynic, but anyway, spin it
(Ah)

Everybody wants shiny new things
Nobody wants a connection
Everybody wants shiny new things
And then they're on to the next one (the next one)

Everybody wants shiny new things
Nobody's got pure intentions (intentions)
Everybody wants shiny new things
Shiny, shiny new things, ah

Ah-ah (ah-ah), la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (shiny, shiny new things)
Ah-ah (ah-ah), la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (shiny, shiny new things, to your next one)

New crib, new bling on your left hand
New friends, it's all, "Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah"
New car, new Grammy on your nightstand

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
