"Paparazzi" as written by Rob Fusari and Stefani Germanotta....
We are the crowd
We're c-coming out
Got my flash on it's true
Need that picture of you
It's so magical
We'd be so fantastical
Leather and jeans
We're rock glamorous
Not sure what it means
But this photo of us
It don't have a price
Ready for those flashing lights
Cause you know that baby I
I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
I'll be a girl backstage at your show
Velvet ropes and guitars
Yeah 'cause you're my
Rockstar in between the sets
Eyeliner and cigarettes
Shadow is burnt
Yellow dance and we turn
My lashes are dry
Purple teardrops I cry it don't have a price
Loving you is cherry pie
'Cause you know that baby I
I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Real good
(We're dancing in the studio)
Snap snap to
(That shit on the radio)
Don't stop
(For anyone)
We're plastic but we still have fun!
I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me

"Well I'm so glad there are a few different interpretations, that was the idea. The song is about a few different things — it's about my struggles, do I want fame or do I want love? It's also about wooing the paparazzi to fall in love with me. It's about the media whoring, if you will, watching ersatzes make fools of themselves to their station. It's a love song for the cameras, but it's also a love song about fame or love — can you have both, or can you only have one?"
To summarize: it's about stalking and being somebody's biggest fan, wanting attention, and becoming famous.
I really love this song, by the way. Probably my favourite GaGa song, and fun to dance to. :D
I think it means she loves this guy so much she's telling him she's his 'biggest fan', and if he doesnt like her, she'll follow him 'until you love me', like a paparazzi. A photo of them together means more than anything to her, although she doesnt know the meaning of fame and possessions. :)
She wants to speed ahead with her career, so she advises, "Dont stop for anyone."
She also says "we're plastic, but we'll still have fun." Models, musicians, and famous people have plastic (credit cards and riches) and they may be fake to each other, but they still have fun.
Doda: Most songs don't match their videos. The only video that I saw by Lady Gaga directly match the lyrical content is 'Alejandro'. She uses a LOT of symbolism and its hard to realize, but its there ;)
but the music video adds more depth to the song.
The video is the story of pop icon and her relationship with the Paparazzi, and the song is about an obsessed fan, and paparazzi, who is in love with a superstar.
Hello? You didn't offer an interpretation either. Seriously though, what crawled up your cunt and died? So she doesn't like the song, boo-fucking-hoo, go cry somewhere else. The most amusing thing is that you jump down natholla's throat, but don't even bother with britrocker, the person who posted an angry, flaming comment.
Well, watching the music video I think it may be talking about abuse, and how "she" will always love the "abuser" no matter what, even though he trys to kill her for fame. Like in the music video, it shows all these women killed by their spouses/boy friends. So I am guessing the message is about how ame kills people. And she needs more fame then ever to settle herself, and it's driving her insane, (the whole stalker sound part of it) and then people die over it (in the music video for instance)
Or, for a crazy interpretation, the whole song is sarcastic and she just wants to get back at him. (the music video again) For instance: "but I won't stop" sounds a bit darker the rest. And then the "Real good, we dance in the studio
Snap, snap to that shit on the radio
Don't stop for anyone
We're plastic but we still have fun!"
part is showing she doesn't care about him in fact at all just getting back at him, she is willing to live her life while trying to get at him.
I am not sure, just my interpretation :D Great song anyway you look at it!
