Perfect Celebrity Lyrics by Lady Gaga
Oh, ooh, ah
Uh
I’m made of plastic like a human doll
You push and pull me, I don’t hurt at all
I talk in circles, ’cause my brain, it aches
You say, “I love you”, I disintegrate
I’ve become a notorious being
Find my clone, she’s asleep on the ceiling
Now, can’t get me down
You love to hate me
I’m the perfect celebrity
So rip up the face of this photograph (Perfect celebrity)
You make me money, I’ll make you laugh (Perfect celebrity)
Show me your pretty, I’ll show you mine
You love to hate me
I’m the perfect celebrity
Uh
I look so hungry, but I look so good
Tap on my vein, suck on my diamond blood
Choke on the fame and hope it gets you high
Sit in the front row, watch the princess die
I’ve become a notorious being
Find my clone, she’s asleep on the ceiling
Now, can’t get me down
You love to hate me
I’m the perfect celebrity
So rip up the face of this photograph (Perfect celebrity)
You make me money, I’ll make you laugh (Perfect celebrity)
Show me your pretty, I’ll show you mine
You love to hate me
I’m the perfect celebrity
Na-na, na-na, na (Perfect celebrity)
Na-na, na-na, na (Perfect celebrity)
Ah-ah, na-na, na-na, na (Perfect celebrity)
Na-na, na-na, na
Catch me as I rebound (Let all the stuff)
Save me, I’m underground (I can’t be found)
Hollywood’s a ghost town
You love to hate me
I’m the perfect celebrity
So rip up the face of this photograph (Perfect celebrity)
You make me money, I’ll make you laugh (Perfect celebrity)
Show me your pretty, I’ll show you mine
You love to hate me, you love to hate me
(Na-na, na-na, na, perfect celebrity)
You hate me (Na-na, na-na, na, perfect celebrity)
Show me your pretty, I’ll show you mine
You love to hate me
I’m the, ah, perfect celebrity
Ah-ah
(I’ve become a notorious being)
