Ain’t the pictures enough
Why do you go through so much
To get the stories you need
So you can bury me
You got the people confused
You tell the stories you choose
You try to get me to lose
The man I really am
You keep on stalking me
Invading my privacy
Won’t you just let me be
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
I need my privacy (yeah,yeah)
I need my privacy (yeah,yeah)
So paparazzi Oh no yeah,yeah)
Get away from me (yeah,yeah)
(Just get away from me)
Some of you still wonder why
One of my friends had to die
To get the message across
That yet you haven’t heard
My friend was chased and confused
Like many others I knew
But on that cold winter night
My pride was snatched away
She get no second chance
She ridiculed and harassed
Please tell my why (oh no)
Now there’s a lesson to learn
Respects not given it’s earned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity
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(yeah, yeah)
(just get away from me)
