The Middle

[Verse 1]

This ends your time in the limelight baby

Then flipped a switch and your light went out

You haven't faired so well in real life lately

You had your run and it's over now

[Pre-Chorus]

So take it, take it, take it, take it, take it from me

It ain't so easy

When you take a back seat

So tell me what you're gonna do when you ain't running things

Ooh

[Chorus]

I just can't help it, I see you all the same

Maybe I'm different, I've never felt that way

Oh no, no

[Post-Chorus]

(Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na)

I'll see you in the middle then

(Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na)

[Verse 2]

Smile for the camera, it's primetime, honey

So sink or swim, but you're on your own

They'll throw you to the wolves, you better hit the ground running

They'll chew and eat every punch you throw

[Pre-Chorus]

So take it, take it, take it, take it, take it from me

'Cause It ain't so easy

When you take a back seat

So tell me what you're gonna do when you ain't running things

Ooh

[Chorus]

I just can't help it, I see you all the same

Maybe I'm different, I never felt that way

Oh no, no

[Post-Chorus]

(Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na)

I'll see you in the middle then

(Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na)

[Bridge]

The bell's ringing, baby, now your time is up

I hope that fifteen minutes was enough

The bell's ringing, baby, now your time is up

I hope that fifteen minutes was enough

I hope that fifteen minutes was enough

[Chorus]

I just can't help it, I see you all the same

And maybe I'm different, I never felt that way

Oh no, no

[Post-Chorus]

(Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na)

So I'll see you in the middle then

(Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na)

(Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na)

(Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na)
