Origineel
[Verse 1]
L.A. on a Saturday night in the summer
Sundown and they all come out
Lamborghinis and their rented Hummers
The party’s on, so they’re headin’ downtown
Everybody’s lookin’ for a come up
And they wanna know what you’re about
Me in the middle with the one I love and
We’re just tryna figure everything out
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t fit in well ‘cause we are just ourselves
I could use some help gettin’ out of this conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear, so don’t ask that question here
This is my only fear: that we become
[Chorus]
Beautiful people
Drop top, designer clothes
Front row at fashion shows
“What d’you do?” and “Who d’you know?”
Inside the world of beautiful people
Champagne and rolled-up notes
Prenups and broken homes
Surrounded, but still alone
Let’s leave the party
[Post-Chorus]
That’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
Yeah, that’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
[Verse 2]
Mmm, L.A. drove for hours last night and we made it nowhere
I see stars in your eyes when we’re halfway there
I’m not fazed by all them lights and flashin’ cameras
‘Cause with my arms around you, there’s no need to care
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t fit in well, cause we are just ourselves
I could use some help gettin’ out of this conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear, so don’t ask that question here
This is my only fear: that we become
[Chorus]
Beautiful people

Let’s leave the party
[Post-Chorus]
That’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful, yeah
Yeah, that’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
[Outro]
We are, we are, we are
We are not beautiful
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
L.A. op een zaterdagavond in de zomer
Zonsondergang en ze komen allemaal naar buiten
Lamborghini’s en hun gehuurde Hummers
The party’s on, so they’re headin’ downtown
Everybody’s lookin’ for a come up
And they wanna know what you’re about
Me in the middle with the one I love and
We’re just tryna figure everything out
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t fit in well ‘cause we are just ourselves
Ik kan wel wat hulp gebruiken om uit dit gesprek te komen, ja
Je ziet er prachtig uit, schat, dus stel die vraag niet hier
Dit is mijn enige angst: dat we worden
[refrein]
Mooie mensen worden
Drop top, designer kleren
Op de eerste rij bij modeshows
“Wat doe je?” en “Wie ken je?”
In de wereld van mooie mensen
Champagne en opgerolde briefjes
huwelijkse voorwaarden en gebroken gezinnen
Omringd, maar toch alleen
Let’s leave the party
[Post-Chorus]
That’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
Yeah, that’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
[Verse 2]
Mmm, L.A. reed voor uren gisteravond en we maakten het nergens
Ik zie sterren in je ogen als we halverwege zijn
Ik laat me niet afschrikken door al die lichten en flitsende camera’s
‘Cause with my arms around you, there’s no need to care
[Pre-Chorus]
We passen er niet goed bij, want we zijn gewoon onszelf
Ik kan wel wat hulp gebruiken om uit dit gesprek te komen, ja
Je ziet er prachtig uit, schat, dus stel die vraag niet hier
Dit is mijn enige angst: dat we worden
[refrein]

That’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful, yeah
Yeah, that’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
[Outro]
We are, we are, we are
We are not beautiful
