Lyrics
[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of dance music
To bring you a special bulletin from the intercontinental radio news
Our very own Pop Princess
Now Queen of Pop
Has a special announcement she would like to make
[Intro]
You're on
I think I'm ready for my close up
Yeah
[Verse 1]
You don't like me, I don't like you
It don't matter
Only difference, you still listen
I don't have to
In one ear and out the other
I don't need ya
Your words don't stick, I ain't perfect
But you ain't either
[Verse 2]
If you're feelin' froggy, leap
I ain't even losin' sleep
There's more to me than what you see
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry
[PreChorus]
Mister photographer
I think I'm ready for my close up
Tonight
Make sure you catch me from my good side
Pick one
These other **** just wanna be me
Is that money in your pocket or you're happy to see me?
[Chorus]
Kill the lights
Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down
Kill the lights
Don't be scared, make a move, see me now
Kill the lights
I feel you, watching me, watching you
Kill the lights
You can't handle the truth
What happened to him?
[Bridge]
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
[Verse 3]
All the flashin', tryin' to cash in, hurts my eyes
All the poses, out of focus, I despise
F me over, your exposure, not the best
You want me bad, watch how I relieve this stress
[PreChorus]
Mister photographer
I think I'm ready for my close up
Tonight
Make sure you catch me from my good side
Pick one
These other **** just wanna be me
Is that money in your pocket or you're happy to see me?
[Chorus]
Kill the lights
Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down
Kill the lights
Don't be scared, make a move, see me now
Kill the lights
I feel you, watching me, watching you
Kill the lights
You can't handle the truth
What happened to him?
[Bridge]
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
[Verse 4]
You're the star now
Welcome to the big league
They all want a pic
They all wanna see, see
See what you're made of
What you're gonna do
Is life gonna get the best of you?
[Chorus]
Kill the lights
Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down
Kill the lights
Don't be scared, make a move, see me now
Kill the lights
I feel you, watching me, watching you
Kill the lights
You can't handle the truth
What happened to him?
[Bridge]
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
