[Hook] Primadonna girl, yeah All I ever wanted was the world I can't help that I need it all The primadonna life, the rise and fall You say that I'm kinda difficult But it's always someone else's fault Got you wrapped around my finger, babe You can count on me to misbehave Primadonna girl [Verse 1] Would you do anything for me? Buy a big diamond ring for me? Would you get down on your knees for me? Pop that pretty question right now, baby Beauty queen on a silver screen Living life like I'm in a dream I know I've got a big ego I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though [Pre-hook] (Ooh) And I'm sad to the core, core, core (Yeah) Every day is a chore, chore, chore (Wow) When you give, I want more, more, more I wanna be adored Cause I'm a [Hook] [Verse 2] Fill the void up with Celluloid Take a picture, I'm with the boys Get what I want cause I ask for it Not because I'm really that deserving of it Living life like I'm in a play In the lime light, I want to stay I know I've got a big ego I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though [Pre-hook] (Ooh) Going up, going down, down, down (Yeah) Anything for the crown, crown, crown (Wow) When the lights dimming down, down, down I spin around Cause I'm a [Hook x2]
Commented [CB1]: Primadonna (noun)–A very temperamental person with an inflated view of their own talent or importance.
Commented [CB2]: She can’t help her being so egotistical; It’s her personality and she has to deal with every aspect of it all- the good and the bad.
Commented [CB3]: She’s asserting her dominance.
“Would you get down on your knees for me?” is a double entendre. When you propose to a woman, it’s customary to only get down on one knee, except she wants you to get down on both knees and become hers. She wants you begging for her to say “yes”.
Commented [CB4]: She’s aware that she’s a diva, but in her eyes, she sees no wrong in that.
Commented [CB5]: Even though she lives such a pompous lifestyle, underneath the big ego is a girl who is genuinely struggling with herself. This leads her to build up the walls of the “primadonna girl”.
Commented [CB6]: She wants everything that people are capable of giving, and often, still more than that.
Commented [CB7]: Celluloid is the material used to make photographic film, or refers to movies or cinema itself.
Commented [CB8]: There seems to be a lack of awareness of how she appears to others. To her, her tantrums are small matters, but perhaps to the world, she is out of control.
Commented [CB9]: The primadonna girl has her successes and failures, even though she craves only successes.
Commented [CB10]: As long as Marina gets all the power and all the material possessions in the end, she’s willing to do anything.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/primadonnalyricanalysis-140925055422-phpapp02/85/Primadonna-lyric-analysis-1-320.jpg)
