Oh, make me over
I'm all I wanna be
A walking fire
You can't get rid of me
[Chorus]
Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, so glad you could make it now
[Verse 2]
Oh, look at my face
My name is "Might-Have-Been"
My name is "Never Was"
My name's forgotten
[Chorus]
Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, there's only us left now
[Post-Chorus]
When I wake up in my makeup
It's too early for that dress
Wilted and faded somewhere in Hollywood
I'm glad I came hеre with your pound of flesh
No second billing 'causе you're a star now
Cinderella, they aren't trash like you
Beautiful garbage, beautiful dresses
Can you stand up or will you just fall down?
You better watch out
What you wish for
Better be worth it
So much to die for
[Chorus]
Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, there's only us left now
[Post-Chorus]
When I wake up in my makeup
Have you ever felt so used up as this?
It's all so sugarless, useless waitress
Model, actress, oh, just go nameless
Honeysuckle, she's full of poison
She obliterated everything she kissed
And now she's fading somewhere in Hollywood
I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh
[Outro]
You want a part of me?
Well, I'm not selling cheap
No, I'm not selling cheap
About
For this cover of the classic Hole song “Celebrity Skin”, Doja Cat teams up with prolific pop-punk producers Travis Barker and Dark Waves. First revealed in an Instagram Live on February 9, 2022, the song was featured in Taco Bell’s Super Bowl commercial.
A stylistic departure from Doja Cat’s usual pop-inflected R&B/hip-hop, the high profile cover of a well-known rock song can be seen as pushing back against the decades-long erasure of women and people of color from mainstream rock, along with the recent success of artists such as Willow Smith.
The cover’s more polished production is paired with the sanitizing of a few choice lyrics (see annotations for examples).
