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)
