lyrics

She was born in Manhattan in 1984
Walked before she crawled
Damn that girl performs
The photograph it shows them eat together
See how she likes french toast
Still in a dressing robe

Pre Chorus
Am I hearing them say my name
They’re leading me away
Yeah they caught me in Morecome Bay

Chorus
Been Looking so high
Been Looking so Low
Been looking for pap paparazzo

I know what you see
I know what you know
I know cause I am pap paparazzo

Verse
Lucy was on the medicine
Neanderthal
She showed them all
That actions do speak louder
Once you drink the powder
Put a new face on
And keep the scene together
I’ll see you at the green room
After yah left the red room
(Play again)

Pre
Like a lion and his pray
I post you through L.A
No matter what you say

Chorus
I reach for the phone
I see you’re alone
Hello from the Papparazzo - o
Don’t tell me you’re scared
I see in your head
No Hiding from Papparazzo - o

Bridge
I already I know - I only work alone
Paparazzo im keeping my distance no
This is my chance to glow now
I’m part of the scene I’m part of the show

Chorus
Been Looking so high
Been Looking so Low
Been looking for pap paparazzo

I know what you see
I know what you know
I know cause I am pap paparazzo

I reach for the phone
I see you’re alone
Hello from the Papparazzo - o
Ah
Don’t tell me you’re scared
I see in your head
No Hiding from Papparazzo - o
