Lady Gaga – Perfect Celebrity Lyrics

Lyrics

Oh, ooh, ah

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 ceilin'

Now, can't get me down

You love to hate me

I'm the perfect celebrity

So rip off my face in this photograph (Perfect celebrity)

You make me money, I'll make you laugh (Perfect celebrity)

Show me your pretty, I'll show you minе

You love to hate me

I'm thе perfect celebrity

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 ceilin'

Now, can't get me down

You love to hate me

I'm the perfect celebrity

So rip off my face in 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 (Without a sound)

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 off my face in 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 (Na-na, na-na, na)

I'll be your perfect celebrity

Ah-ah

(I've become a notorious being)
