Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're c-coming out
Got my flash on it's true
Need that picture of you
It's so magical
We'd be so fantastical
Leather and jeans
Not sure what it means
But this photo of us
It don't have a price
Ready for those flashing lights
Cause you know that baby I
I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
I'll be a girl backstage at your show
Velvet ropes and guitars
Yeah 'cause you're my
Rockstar in between the sets
Eyeliner and cigarettes
Shadow is burnt
Yellow dance and we turn
My lashes are dry
Purple teardrops I cry it don't have a price
Loving you is cherry pie
'Cause you know that baby I
I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Real good
(We're dancing in the studio)
Snap snap to
(That shit on the radio)
Don't stop
(For anyone)
We're plastic but we still have fun!
I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
In “Paparazzi”, Lady Gaga takes on the persona of a fame-obsessed groupie who is willing to do anything to make her crush a famous superstar. Gaga’s lyrics are almost satirical as she highlights how obsessed society is with fame and how people will do anything to get their 15 minutes of fame. The chorus of the song, “I’m your biggest fan, I’ll follow you until you love me, Papa-paparazzi" shows the lengths Gaga's character will go to achieve fame through someone else's success, even if it means losing all sense of self-respect or privacy. The verses of the song depict the groupie lifestyle of drugs, cigarettes, and backstage makeup, and show how the “uncool” have now become cool, thanks to their obsession with fame.
The line “Loving you is cherry pie” is a reference to a 1950s song called “Cherry Pie” which became a popular symbol of affection. Meanwhile, “My lashes are dry, my lipsticks’ quit, and my hair is thinning” is a reference to the physical toll of being a groupie. Gaga’s use of flamboyant costumes for the music video and live performances of “Paparazzi” has become iconic and symbolizes her love for fashion as an art form.

Listening to music on the radio
Don't stop
We don't want the fun to end
(For anyone)
We are dancing and singing just for us
We're plastic but we still have fun!
We may be fake and phony, but we still enjoy ourselves
