  • Primadonna girl, yeah
    All I ever wanted was the world
    I can't help that I need it all
    The primadonna life, the rise and fall
    You say that I'm kinda difficult
    But it's always someone else's fault
    Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
    You can count on me to misbehave
    Primadonna girl

    Would you do anything for me?
    Buy a big diamond ring for me?
    Would you get down on your knees for me?
    Pop that pretty question, right now baby
    Beauty queen on a silver screen
    Living life like I'm in a dream
    I know I've got a big ego
    I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though (ooh)

    And I'm sad to the core, core, core (yeah)
    Every day is a chore, chore, chore (wow)
    When you give, I want more, more, more
    I wanna be adored

    'Cause I'm a primadonna girl, yeah
    All I ever wanted was the world
    I can't help that I need it all
    The primadonna life, the rise and fall
    You say that I'm kinda difficult
    But it's always someone else's fault
    Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
    You can count on me to misbehave
    Primadonna girl

    Fill the void up with celluloid
    Take a picture, I'm with the boys
    Get what I want 'cause I ask for it
    Not because I'm really that deserving of it
    Living life like I'm in a play
    In the limelight, I want to stay
    I know I've got a big ego
    I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though (ooh)

    Going up, going down, down, down (yeah)
    Anything for the crown, crown, crown (wow)
    When the lights dimming down, down, down
    I spin around

    'Cause I'm a primadonna girl, yeah
    All I ever wanted was the world
    I can't help that I need it all
    The primadonna life, the rise and fall
    You say that I'm kinda difficult
    But it's always someone else's fault
    Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
    You can count on me to misbehave

    Primadonna girl, yeah
    All I ever wanted was the world
    I can't help that I need it all
    The primadonna life, the rise and fall
    You say that I'm kinda difficult
    But it's always someone else's fault
    Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
    You can count on me to misbehave
