Rumors
Lindsay Lohan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saturday, steppin' into the club
Somebody wanna tell DJ to turn it up
I feel the energy all around
And my body can't stop moving to the sound

But I can tell that you're watching me
And you're probably gonna write what you didn't see
Well I just need a little space to breathe
Can you please respect my privacy

Why can't you just let me
Do the things I wanna do
I just wanna be me
I don't understand why
Would you wanna bring me down
If I'm only having fun
I'm going live my life
(Not the way you want me to)

I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying
Sayin' what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me
Why can't they let me live
I'm gonna do it my way
Take this for just what it is

Here we are back up in the club
People taking pictures
Don't you think they get enough
I just wanna be all over the floor
And throw my hands up in the air to the beat like (What?)

I've gotta say respectfully
I would like it if you take the cameras off of me
Cause I just want a little room to breathe
Can you please respect my privacy

Why can't you just let me
Do the things I wanna do
I just wanna be me
I don't understand why
Would you wanna bring me down
If I'm only having fun
I wanna live my life
(Not the way you want me to)

I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying
Sayin' what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me
Why can't they let me live
I'm gonna do it my way
Take this for just what it is

I just need to free my mind (my mind)
Just wanna dance and have a good time (good time)

I'm tired of rumors (rumors)
Followed (followed, followed, followed, followed, followed)

What they (follow) me
Why can't they (they they they-they-they) let me live

Take this for just what it is

I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying
Sayin' what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me
Why can't they let me live
I'm gonna do it my way
Take this for just what it is

I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying
Sayin' what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me
Why can't they let me live




I'm gonna do it my way
Take this for just what it is

Saturday, stepping into the club
Sábado, chegando na balada

The music makes me wanna tell the DJ, turn it up
A música me faz querer pedir pro DJ aumentar o som

I feel the energy all around
Sinto a energia por toda parte

And my body can't stop moving to the sound
E meu corpo não consegue parar de se mexer pra música


But I can tell that you're watching me
Mas posso dizer que vocês estão me observando

And you're probably gonna write what you didn't see
E provavelmente vão escrever sobre o que não viram

Well, I just need a little space to breathe
Eu só quero um espaço pra respirar

Can you please respect my privacy
Vocês podem, por favor, respeitar minha privacidade?


Why can't you just let me do
Por que vocês não podem simplesmente me deixar fazer

The things I wanna do
As coisas que eu quero fazer?

I just wanna be me
Eu só quero ser eu mesma

I don't understand
Eu não entendo por que

Why would you wanna bring me down
Vocês querem me derrubar

I'm only having fun
Estou apenas me divertindo

I'm gonna live my life (but not the way you want me to)
Eu vou viver minha vida (mas não do jeito que vocês querem)


I'm tired of rumours starting
Estou cansada desses rumores

I'm sick of being followed
Estou cansada de ser seguida

I'm tired of people lying
Estou cansada de pessoas mentindo

Saying what they want about me
Dizendo o que querem sobre mim

Why can't they back up off me
Por que elas não me esquecem?

Why can't they let me live
Por que não me deixam viver?

I'm gonna do it my way
Eu vou fazer isso do meu jeito

Take this for just what it is
Tome isso como lição


Here we are, back up in the club
Então, aqui estamos, de volta pra boate

People taking pictures
Pessoas estão tirando fotos

Don't you think they get enough
Não acha que elas já conseguiram o suficiente?

I just wanna be all over the floor
Eu só quero ficar na pista de dança

And throw my hands up in the air to a beat like (what)
E jogar minhas mãos pro alto a cada batida


I've gotta say respectfully
Eu tenho que te dizer, com todo respeito

I would love it if you would take the cameras off of me
Gostaria que vocês tirassem essas câmeras de cima de mim

'Cause I just want a little room to breathe
Porque eu só quero um pouco de espaço para respirar

Can you please respect my privacy
Vocês podem, por favor, respeitar minha privacidade?


Why can't you just let me do
Por que vocês não podem simplesmente me deixar fazer

The things I wanna do
As coisas que eu quero fazer?

I just wanna be me

Só quero dançar e curtir (curtir)


I'm tired of rumors (rumors)

Followed (followed, followed, followed, followed, followed)
E de ser seguida (seguida)

What they want of me
O que eles querem de mim?

Why can't they (they, they, they, they, they) let me live (live)
Por que eles (eles, eles, eles, eles, eles) não me deixam viver? (viver)

Take this for just what it is

This era of pop music was heavily centered around the paparazzi and how crazy it was driving these girls. Revisited all the issues Britney had with the paparazzi back in the day and her resulting breakdown, and Paris Hilton’s documentary made me want to come back to this video. It was really crazy back then. It seems like pop stars and celebrities these days have a little more distance between them and the cameras most of the time. Hope they realize how good they have it. Almost all of the girls I grew up idolizing are living very strange sad lives these days.

@jadeperez1170

I feel like social media has let people into celebrities personal lives so much now that paparazzi is going to be a thing of the past because it’s not needed to see more of them.

@AmSay8D

Paris Hilton did LiLo dirty

@decamposgustavo

@Jade Perez i remember that in 2006, 7 and 8 there was a new pic of britney on the streets E V E R Y D A Y. people used to wait and go into fan sites to see what brit lilo paris kim were doing thanks to the paparazzis. it must have been insane. social media def helped these new celebs in this point.

@MessagesFromAurora

I´m just happy that Lindsay survived everything she did and she´s still with us and happy. She´s awesome.

@jamespearrell6403

I am happy she survived also

@patty5676

Me too

@karlc2869

The only thing left is a media apology to her, Britney, Paris, Amanda Bynes and the Olsens.
