TV Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every day I wake up I wanna be
Somebody famous on TV
But they keep on sayin’
I’m not good enough
So I softly whisper
"Shut the fuck up"
But it takes a toll on me
Can’t you see?
Why won’t you love me?

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I just wanna be somebody
Yeah I don’t wanna be nobody
Yeah I just wanna be somebody
Then I’ll be happy
Then I’ll be happy

But I, I can’t seem to get anywhere close
To my dreams
I lay awake at night pretending
That there's a role for me
Cause I got so many famous friends
But I’m not
But I can still pretend
That my star is still up in the sky
[Chorus]
I wanna know what fame is, fame is
So you know what my name is, name is
So you can tell your friends you knew me when
I was just a girl who played pretend
But now I’m fuckin' famous, famous
And you know what my name is, name is
So you can tell your mom you knew me when
I was just another loser friend

[Verse 2]
Late at night I’m cryin' I wanna be
Fillin' up this emptiness inside me
Lookin' in the mirror I look good enough
But I always seem to go fuck it up
Say it takes some time so let’s wait and see
You’ll fuckin' love me

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I just wanna be somebody
Yeah I don’t wanna be nobody
Yeah I just wanna be somebody
Then I’ll be happy
Then I’ll be happy

But I, I can’t seem to get anywhere close
To my dreams
I lay awake at night pretending
That there's a role for me
Cause I got so many famous friends
But I’m not
But I can still pretend
That my star is still up in the sky
[Chorus]
I wanna know what fame is, fame is
So you know what my name is, name is
So you can tell your friends you knew me when
I was just a girl who played pretend
But now I’m fuckin' famous, famous
And you know what my name is, name is
So you can tell your mom you knew me when
I was just another loser friend

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
