Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Getting ready in the mirror, putting on my mirage
I got my red lipstick, I put on my blush
[PreChorus]
Is anybody gonna like me?
Anybody gonna like me?
Is anybody gonna love me?
Is anybody gonna need me?
[Verse 2]
Cocaine, Cindy Lauper, yeah, my life has begun
'Cause everybody knows girls just wanna have fun
[PreChorus]
Is anybody gonna like me?
Anybody gonna like me?
Is anybody gonna love me?
Is anybody gonna need me?
[Chorus]
So let's take it from the top, I'll rehearse it again
These strangers online are my only friends
And maybe it's a sin to be living in vain
You gotta be a player if you wanna win the game
You gotta be a player if you wanna win the game
Let's take it from the top
[Instrumental]
Gotta get goin' 'cause my taxi's almost here
Put out my cigarette, I'm floating in the air
The Sunset Strip is all aglow
And all the cherry bomb girls are hanging out at the Rainbow
[PreChorus]
Smile for the camera
Smile for the camera
I live for the glamor
I live for the glamor
Smile for the camera
Smile for the camera
I live for the glamor
I live for the glamor
[Chorus]
So let's take it from the top, I'll rehearse it again
These strangers online are my only friends
And maybe it's a sin to be living in vain
You gotta be a player if you wanna win the game
You gotta be a player if you wanna win the game
Let's take it from the top
[Instrumental]
You're getting dizzy
Take a picture in your mind
Please pray for me
Dear God, tell me I'll be
Fine
I'll be fine
Fine
I'll be fine
[Instrumental]
So you take it from the top, you rehearse it again
These strangers online are your only friends
You take it from the top, you rehearse it again
These strangers online are your only friends
And maybe it's a sin to be living in vain
You gotta be a player if you wanna win the game
You gotta be a player if you wanna win the game
You gotta be a player if you wanna win the game
You gotta be a player if you wanna win the game
[Outro]
Let's take it from the
Take it from the top
You take it from the top
Take it from the top
Take it from the top
