Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't the pictures enough?
Why do you go through so much
To get the stories you need
So you can bury me?
You've 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 stalkin' 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
[Chorus]
I need my privacy (Oh, no, yeah, yeah)
I need my privacy (Yeah, yeah)
So paparazzi (Oh, no, yeah, yeah)
Get away from me
Just get away from me (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Some of you still wonder why
One of my friends had to die
To get the message accross
That yet you haven't heard
My friend was dazed and confused
Like many others I knew
But on that cold winter night
My pride was snatched away
She get no second chance
She's ridiculed and harassed
Please tell me why (Oh, no)
Now there's a lesson to learn
Respect's not given, it's earned
Stop maliciously attackin' my integrity
[Chorus]
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
Just get away from me (Yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
Now there's a lesson to learn
Stories are twisted and turned
Stop maliciously attackin' my integrity
[Chorus]
I need my privacy (Oh, no, yeah, yeah)
I need my privacy (Oh no, yeah, yeah)
So paparazzi (Oh, my, yeah, yeah)
Get away from me (Oh no, yeah, yeah)
I need my privacy
You don't get it (Yeah, yeah)
Please, please, don't get it
[Outro]
I need my privacy, get away from me, get away (Yeah, yeah)
So paparazzi
I got you stalkin', walkin', talkin', stalkin' (Yeah, yeah)
Get away from me (Yeah, yeah)
Privacy, I need my privacy (Yeah, yeah)
Privacy, privacy
So paparazzi (Yeah, yeah)
My privacy, I need my privacy (My privacy, yeah, yeah)
Privacy, my privacy, no (Yeah, yeah)
Privacy, baby
Why'd you do it? (Yeah, yeah)
Please don't do it
Why'd you do it? (Yeah, yeah)
You just let it
Please don't do it (Yeah, yeah)
Why'd you do it?
And you just let it
