Kill the Lights

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

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
(Hoo!)
Only difference, you still listen, I don't have to
(Hoo!)
In one ear and out the other, I don't need you
(Hoo!)
Your words don't stick, I ain't perfect but you ain't either
(Hoo!)

If you're feeling fraudulently
(Oh!)
I ain't even losing 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 ya happy to see me?

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 'em?

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)

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, 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 ha just wanna be me
Is that money in your pocket? Or ya happy to see me?

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 'em?

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)

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?

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 'em?

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)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ha ha ha
