Falling Down Lyrics

You walk and talk like you're some new sensation
You move in circles
You don't need an invitation
You spend your money
You can't get no satisfaction
You play it right so you can get the right reaction

It won't be long, my darling
Pick up the phone
Nobody's on it
Where are your friends now, baby?
All of the ones supposed to be there for

You, you
When you're falling down
The world starts spinning out
You, you
When you're falling down
Now it's not all about
You, you
When you're falling down
You know I'll be around
When you're falling down, falling down

What's out of place when you look into the mirror?
The truth is blurry
But the lies are getting clearer
Your eyes are fixed
Your smile is so elastic
You gave me roses
But they're all just made of plastic

It won't be long, my darling
Pick up the phone
Nobody's on it
Where are your friends now, baby?
All of the ones supposed to be there for

You, you
When you're falling down
The world starts spinning out
You, you
When you're falling down
Now it's not all about
You, you
When you're falling down
You know I'll be around
When you're falling down, falling down

Smile for the camera
Everybody's looking at ya
Smile for the camera
'Cause they're all about to trash ya
Smile for the camera, camera, camera
Smile for the camera
Who's gonna catch ya?

You, you
When you're falling down
The world starts spinning out
You, you
When you're falling down
Now it's not all about
You, you
When you're falling down
You know I'll be around
When you're falling down, falling

Smile for the camera
Everybody's looking at ya
Smile for the camera
'Cause they're all about to trash ya

"It's basically about Hollywood and what people think about it and essentially how plastic it is sometimes. It's fun and I think girls can relate to it somewhat, for me it was because of Hollywood but it can really relate to a mean girl, an ex-boyfriend, to whoever."

wayla i agree with you. i say the same things to myself. why cant people write about more meaningful things that people can actually relate to. ok, for instance, hannah mon freaking tana, her song super girl. ITS SO STUPID. the only people who probably like that song is like a 4-8 year old kid. disney stars are horrible at singing. and to be honest, they cant act either. i dont want to be offensive to those who like disney stars, but im just giving my opinion.

haha yeah, I agree. they can't act either. At least Hilary Duff can act...but as for Miley, Selena and Demi...not so much.

Well it is pretty obvious what this song means.

I actually like it and people keep saying how its so edited and stuff but who cares? It is a nice song in my opinion and there are BILLIONS of artists out there that are also edited but people just wanna keep bugging Selena. And its not that edited (well the chorus might be but the rest isn't)cause if it was really really edited then her voice would sound really the same as everyone else and you wouldn't be able to really identify it.

I really like it, so catchy! Go Selena! Can't wait for her new cd!!!

so her voice is like touched and shit, but she's really amazing anyway and the song is so catchy too <3

I'm pretty sure it's "what's out of place when you look into the mirror?" not "what kind of face when you look into the mirror?"

My Interpretation

This song is really catchy. I love the line: Smile for the camera Everybody's looking at you Smile for the camera 'Cause they're all about to trash you

Its so true and just proving how fake people can be Great song and i don't care what anyone says, she's a great singer!

I ♥ the line: "What's out of place wwhen you look in the mirror the truth is blurry but the lies are getting clearer" That's an awesome line too! :^D

As far as I'm concerned you are both stupid. That is not her real voice. They use some kind of technology to manipulate the way it sounds.

Wayla, have you heard her sing live? I think not. That is her real voice to shut the fuck up. If you don't like her, then don't visit her lyrics or listen to her music you dumbshit.

It's very catchy also a pretty obvious meaning.. but who do you think it's directed at? All the fake people around?

Very catchy, we know she has a different but awesome voice, even if it is touched we know she can legitimately sing, or at least I believe so. (: Looking forward to the albummmm! Anyone know the Australian release date?

Demi's came out about 2 weeks after the US so hopefully it's the same. Oh, and by the way, are CD's universal? They are aren't they? So I could buy a CD from the US and it'd play anywhere in the world?

I heart Selena :)

CD'S are universal i think if it isnt that's horrible
