Primadonna
Marina %26 the Diamonds Lyrics

Primadonna girl, yeah
I am a woman who demands the utmost attention, and I have the power and confidence to pursue whatever I desire.

All I ever wanted was the world
I have always held lofty ambitions for myself, and I will not stop until I have achieved everything I have ever wanted.

I can't help that I need it all
My desire for luxury and success is not something I can control, as it is a fundamental part of who I am.

The primadonna life, the rise and fall
Living a life of grandeur and excess can lead to both great successes and great failures, but I am willing to take the risk.

You say that I'm kinda difficult
Others often find me to be a challenge due to my strong will and refusal to compromise on my dreams.

But it's always someone else's fault
I refuse to take responsibility for my own actions and instead blame others for any obstacles that may arise.

Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
I have a powerful hold on those around me and can easily manipulate them to do my bidding.

You can count on me to misbehave
I am not afraid to act out or cause trouble when I don't get my way, as I am used to getting what I want.

Beauty queen on a silver screen
I am an incredibly attractive and captivating presence, both in person and on camera.

Living life like I'm in a dream
My life is surreal and larger-than-life, as if I am the star of my own fairy tale.

I know I've got a big ego
I am unapologetically confident and self-assured in everything I do.

I really don't know why it's such a big deal though
I am perplexed as to why others make such a fuss over my ego, as I see it as simply a natural part of my personality.

And I'm sad to the core, core, core
Despite all my wealth and power, I am deeply unhappy at my core and cannot escape this feeling.

Every day's such a chore, chore, chore
My life may seem glamorous to others, but in reality, it is a daily struggle to maintain my image and keep up with the demands of my lifestyle.

When you give, I want more, more, more
No matter how much I have, I am never satisfied and always crave more, as my desire for excess knows no bounds.

I wanna be adored
Above all else, I crave the adoration and admiration of others, as their view of me as a goddess is a key part of my identity.

Fill the void up with celluloid
I use the magic of film and media to create a larger-than-life persona that draws others in and makes them believe in my grand vision of myself.

Take a picture, I'm with the boys
I enjoy using my image and sexuality to manipulate those around me, and often use men to elevate my status.

Get what I want 'cause I ask for it
I have the power and confidence to demand whatever I want, and others will usually acquiesce to my wishes without question.

Not because I'm really that deserving of it
I know that I don't necessarily deserve all the things I demand, but I am so used to getting everything I want that I don't see anything wrong with it.

Going up, going down, down, down
My life is a constant roller coaster of ups and downs, with both great heights of success and deep lows of failure and despair.

Anything for the crown, crown, crown
I will do whatever it takes to remain at the top of my game and retain my status as a queen among my peers.

When the light's dimming down, down, down
Even as my star begins to fade, I refuse to go gently into that good night, and will fight tooth and nail to remain in the spotlight.

I spin around
No matter how much the world changes around me, I will always remain centered on myself and my own wants and needs.

Primadonna girl, yeah
I am a woman who demands the utmost attention, and I have the power and confidence to pursue whatever I desire.
