Below, you will find the lyrics for The Ambition by Zara Larsson.
Verse 1
Live the American dream with billboards picturing me
My name on Hollywood Boulevard
LA state of mind, I'm never satisfied
'Cause I want number one, doesn't everyone?
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
Prechorus 1
My dreams so big, they're supersize
I chase them like I chase the light
I could live a simple life
But that's the thing with the ambition
Everything's a competition
Yeah, it got me a lot, but that's not good enough
Chorus 1
I wanna be lo-lo-loved
I live and learn the hard way
Yeah, it's a chronic heartbreak
No, it never stops, I wanna be your star
I wanna be lo-lo-loved
Lo-loved, loved, lo-ov-oved
Verse 2
Raised on validation
Consumed by aspiration
Numbers meaning more than words
But what's it worth?
Millions of people listening
So driven, couldn't live in it
Didn't appreciate it then
Wish I could go back again
Prechorus 2
My dreams so big, they're supersize
I chase them like I chase the light
I could live a simple life
But that's the thing with the ambition
Everything's a competition
Yeah, it got me a lot, but that's not good enough
Chorus 2
I wanna be lo-lo-loved
I live and learn the hard way
Yeah, it's a chronic heartbreak
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 learned before
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
If I can be lo-lo-loved
Prechorus 3
That's the thing with the ambition
Everything's a competition
It got me a lot, but that's not good enough
Chorus 3
I wanna be lo-lo-loved
I live and learn the hard way
Yeah, it's a chronic heartbreak
No, it never stops, I wanna be your star
I wanna be lo-lo-loved
Lo-loved, loved, lo-ov-oved
