The Fame Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was sitting outside, it was really dark out
The sky was beautiful
I could see all the stars, way up high
The stars were so pretty, I couldn't look away
Got the urge to leave but the world said stay
They're waiting for me, but I just don't care
Look at the world and how it's so unfair
Stargazing cum

Stargazing cum
It was getting late now, maybe I should go
But you look so beautiful
I could see your tears, when you cry
Stargazing cum
Stargazing cum
The stars were so pretty, I couldn't look away
Got the urge to leave but the world said stay

They're waiting for me, but I just don't care
Stargazing cum
