Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't that picture enough?
Why do you go through so much
To get the stories you need
So you can bury me?
[Verse 2]
You've got the people confused
Ya tell the stories you choose
Ya try to get me to lose
The man I really am
[Verse 3]
You keep on stalkin' me
Invading my privacy
Won't you just let me be?
[Verse 4]
'Cause your cameras can't control
The minds of those who know
That you'll even sell your soul
Just to get your story sold
[Verse 5]
I need my privacy
Oh, no, yeah, yeah
I need my privacy
Yeah, yeah
So paparazzi, oh no
Yeah, yeah
Get away from me
Just get away from me, yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
Some of ya still wonder why
One of my friends had to die
To get the message accross
That yet you haven't heard
[Verse 7]
My friend dazed and confused
Like many others I knew
But on that cold winter night
My pride was snatched away
[Verse 8]
She get no second chance
She's ridiculed and harassed
Please tell me why
[Verse 9]
Oh, no, now there's a lesson to learn
Respect's not given it' earned
Stop maliciously attackin' my integrity
[Verse 10]
I need my privacy
Oh, no, yeah, yeah
I need my privacy
Oh, no, yeah, yeah
So paparazzi, mercy, yeah, yeah
Just get away from me
Just get away from me, yeah, yeah
[Verse 11]
Now there's a lesson to learn
Stories are twisted and turned
Stop maliciously attackin' my integrity
[Verse 12]
I need my privacy
Oh, no, yeah, yeah
I need my privacy
Oh, no, yeah, yeah, oh no
So paparazzi, oh my, yeah, yeah
Get away from me, oh no
I need my privacy (You don't get it)
[Verse 13]
Yeah, yeah (Please don't get it)
I need my privacy (Get away from me)
Yeah, yeah (Get away)
So paparazzi (Stalkin', walkin', talkin')
Yeah, yeah
Get away from me
Yeah, yeah
I need my privacy, I need my privacy
Yeah, yeah (I need my privacy)
Privacy
So paparazzi, yeah, yeah, yeah
Privacy, privacy (I need my privacy)
Yeah, yeah (My privacy, my privacy)
Yeah, yeah (Privacy)
Why'd you do it? Yeah, yeah
Please don't do it
Why'd you do it? Yeah, yeah
You just let it
Please don't do it
Yeah, yeah
Why'd you do it? You just let it
