ABOUT THE SONG:
I don't want to be famous, but I also kinda do, slightly? I have a medium-size following already, and I'm happy with the size of it. I don't want to "blow up".

lyrics

I was seven and dreaming of Hollywood
Made my room the red carpet, and it felt so good
Wanted all of those eyes on me
But when you're little you just can't see
When you're higher than the highest
They can tear you back down with the slightest of a bias

I changed my dream
Now I believe

I don't wanna be famous
'Cause it might be a bad thing
I don't wanna be famous
Not that anyone's asking
I don't want that public eye
Baby, I would rather die
I don't wanna be famous
I don't wanna be famous

I imagine me singing to a sea of hate ("Boooo!")
While the people throw insults about my weight ("She's fat!")
It's a blessing and it's a curse
It gets better while it gets worse
I'd be everybody's favorite
'Til I make one mistake, yeah

I don't wanna be famous
'Cause it might be a bad thing
I don't wanna be famous
Not that anyone's asking
I don't want that public eye
Baby, I would rather die
Heard you know what my name is,
But I don't wanna be famous

No, I don't want that
Blow me up, and you take it right back, oh no
No, I don't want that
Blow me up, and you take it right back, oh no
No, I don't want that
Blow me up, and you take it right back, oh no
No, I don't want that
Blow me up, and you take it right back, oh no

I don't know how to be perfect to everyone
Can't live my life on a stage in the burning sun
So I'll change my dream
'Til I believe
(Work)

I don't wanna be famous
'Cause it might be a bad thing
I don't wanna be famous
Not that anyone's asking
I don't want that public eye
Baby, I would rather die
Heard you know what my name is,
But I don't wanna be famous

No, I don't want that
Blow me up, and you take it right back, oh no
No, I don't want that
Blow me up, and you take it right back, oh no
No, I don't want that
Blow me up, and you take it right back, oh no
No, I don't want that
Blow me up, and you take it right back, oh no

I don't wanna be famous
