Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To crash the critic saying is it right or is it wrong
If only fame had its own key baby could I bear
Being away from you I found a way to get you here
I live for the applause applause applause
I live for the applause-plause live for the applause-plause, live for the
Way you that you cheer and scream for me
Give me the thing that I love (I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me the thing that I love, love (I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
