The Fame
I can't help myself,
I'm addicted to a life of material.
It's some kind of joke.
I'm obsessively opposed to the typical.
All we care about is:
runway models, cadillacs and liquor bottles.
Give me something I wanna be:
retro glamour, Hollywood.
Yes, we live for the -
[Chorus]
Fame (fame)! Doin' it for the fame (fame)!
'Cause we wanna live the life
of the rich and famous.
Fame (fame)! Doin' it for the fame (fame)!
'Cause we got a taste for champagne,
and endless fortune.
[/end Chorus]
Fame, fame, Baby.
The fame, fame.
We live for the fame, fame, Baby.
The fame, fame.
Isn't it a shame, shame, Baby,
a shame, shame?
In it for the fame, fame, Baby.
The fame, fame.
I can see myself in the movies,
with my picture in city lights.
Photograph my mind,
and whatever else you'd like to shoot.
You decide.
All we care about is:
pornographic girls on film, and body plastic.
Give me something I wanna see:
television, and hot blondes in odd positions.
[Chorus /]
Fame, fame, Baby.
The fame, fame.
We live for the fame, fame, Baby.
The fame, fame.
Isn't it a shame, shame, Baby,
a shame, shame?
In it for the fame, fame, Baby.
The fame, fame.
Don't ask me how or why,
but I'm gonna make it happen this time.
My teenage dream tonight?
Yeah, I'm gonna make it happen this time.
Fame!
Fame! Doin' it for the fame!
'Cause we wanna live the life of the
rich and famous!
[Chorus /] x2
Fame!

"She was a brunette. But she was dynamic, and had that exuberant personality we all know now. She hadn’t recorded any of those songs—“Just Dance” or “Pokerface”—yet. [...] She came over, and the first song we wrote was “The Fame.” She then told me, 'I love this song. I want to call my album this.' So my song becomes the anchor for the album. She developed a whole campaign, aesthetic and persona for it."

Hug me, love me, but don't judge my money

We don't wear our flip-flops in public because it's
lazy and ugly... That shit's ugly!
