Matt Houston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ma cible c'est J-Lo
Je la piste encore et encore
Je la suis de Paname a Rio
Je ferai tout pour l'amadouer
À chaque fois, elle me déboussole
À chaque passage télé
Jennifer c'est mon job et tu le sais
Here we go, here we go, J-Lo
Tu es la proie de mon biz
Et même si tu ne veux pas me voir
Rien à foutre car clic, clic, oh hey ho
Elle est au top, elle a la classe
Et elle vit la vida loco
Refrain (x2)
Elle grimpe dans sa jeep, Morénita
Tu connais la suite, un cliché
Et même si c'est chaud, caliente
Il faut que j'ai sa peau, te quiero mucho
Je l'espionne "aux Champs" un soir
Elle étais au club Monte-Cristo
Je lâcherai tout pour avoir
Juste un shoot d'elle et de son chico
Plus douce qu'un putain de cocktail, tu sais
Elle est ma proie a jamais
Mais non, faut pasque je perde le nord
À chaque fois que je vois son corps
Refrain (x2)
Oh love, oh love, oh love...
Oh j'aime tes rondeurs, Jennifer
Oh love, oh love, oh love...
Elle est au top, elle a la classe
Et elle vit la vida loca
Refrain (x2)
The lyrics of Matt Houston's "Paparazzi" depict the perspective of an ardent paparazzo, Mattéo, whose focus is the international superstar Jennifer Lopez. He follows Jennifer Lopez's every move, from Paris to Rio, and admits to being deboussled every time she appears on television. He sees her as his job, prey to his business, and is not afraid to go to extremes to gain his shot of her. He personifies her as a cocktail, calling her sweeter and more addictive than the most decadent of drinks. Despite Jennifer Lopez's attempts to avoid him, he remains undeterred, obsessed with capturing her image and using it to bolster his career.
Throughout the song, Mattéo demonstrates a single-minded focus on Jennifer Lopez and his desire to capture her persona. The bridge shows more of this, as he blatantly declares that he knows Jennifer is his job, and she's the prey of his business. The line "Tu es la proie de mon biz" directly means "You are the prey of my business," and he further reiterates that even if she doesn't want to see him, he does not care. He repeats the line "Et elle vit la vida loca" throughout the lyrics, emphasizing Jennifer Lopez's wild and exciting lifestyle.
