[Verse 1]
Living in a world, daddy's little girl
Never hears a "no"
Everything you want is never what you need
Mirrors and the smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
Put another spin on the rehab, rehab
Whole world's waiting on a comeback
Welcome to the show
Watch it all fade to black
[Chorus]
Damn, she's famous
Everybody knows what her name is
Kinda breaks your heart when you think about
Everything she gave and the life they stole away
But you can't blame her
Everybody's drawn to the danger
Looking through the lens of make believe
Ain't a mystery why a star goes down in flames
Famous
Yeah, she's famous
[Verse 2]
Cause another scene, sell a magazine
Catch another flash
Losin' who you are, goin' too afar
To ever get back
[Pre-Chorus]
Put another spin on the rehab, rehab
Whole world's waiting on a comeback
Now everybody say, "It's so sad, so sad"
[Chorus]
But damn, she's famous
Everybody knows what her name is
Kinda breaks your heart when you think about
Everything she gave and the life they stole away
But you can't blame her
Everybody's drawn to the danger
Looking through the lens of make believe
Ain't a mystery why a star goes down in flames
Famous
[Bridge]
Yeah, she's famous
Ooh
[Chorus]
But damn, she's famous
Everybody knows what her name is
Kinda breaks your heart when you think about
Everything she gave and the life they stole away
But you can't blame her
Everybody's drawn to the danger
Looking through the lens of make believe
Ain't a mystery why a star goes down in flames
Famous
But hey, she's famous
Ooh, whoa
Yeah, she's famous

In an interview with People Magazine, Lady Antebellum discussed the meaning behind the song and the reason it was written:
We are so fascinated by people who are famous and what it does to them, that we forget that they are people. And I say ‘we’ because it’s all of us! As much as we three want our...
