Give 'Em What They Want Lyrics

Hey you
Can I get your attention?
I could be in rehab
because it's just so cool

Come with me
Baby I can be your star
Hot mess bringing trashy back yeah
You live vicariously

I say say say say
Just give em what they want
Die for you and I won't come back
whoa whoa whoa

Hey boy
Tell me what you want from me
I'm about to cut myself
Just so you won't forget me
Self destruct... 5,4,3,2,1
Oh do you feel better now?
What a slap in the face

I say say say say
Just give em what they want
Die for you and I won't come back
I say say say say
Just give em what they want (so much better)
Ride this wave and I won't come back
whoa whoa whoa

whoa whoa whoa
Set myself on fire
While you all watch me burn
Poor little rich girl
Poor little rich girl now
Oh your time is almost up
Oh your time up

I say say say say
Just give em what they want
Die for you and I won't come back
Say say say say
just give em what they want (so much better)
Ride this wave and I won't come back

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's a parody of celebrities. The poor little rich girl thing reminds me of paris hilton. Rehab does too. celebrities do self-destructive behaviours so they will get noticed. It's making fun of celebrities, basically.

Yeah, The Vettes admit it's making fun of celebrities. I love it. The Vettes are saying most celebrities will fade out, and won't be remembered.
