"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 will like to make"

You're on,
I think I'm ready for my close up,
Yeah

You don't like me
I don't like you, it don't matter (who?)
Only difference
You still listen, I don't have to (who?)
In one ear and
Out the other, I don't need you (who?)
Your words don't stick
I ain't perfect, but you ain't either (who?)

If your feeling froggy leap (oh)
I ain't even losin' sleep (oh)
There's more to me than what you see (oh)
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry

Mr. Photographer
I think I'm ready for my close-up (tonight)
Make sure you catch me from my good side (pick one)
These other (ha) just wanna be me
Is that money in your pocket?
Or you 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 you?
I kill
The lights pure
The lights satis
The lights faction
I kill
The lights lights
The lights camera
The lights action
I kill
The lights pure
The lights satis
The lights faction
I kill
The lights lights
The lights camera
The lights action

All the flashin', tryin' to cash-in
Hurts my eyes
All the poses, out of focus
I despise

Eff me over, your exposure
Not the best
You want me bad, I want you out
Release this stress.

Mr. 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 happy to see me?

[Chorus]

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]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
