In an interview with Daily Telegraph, Gaga said that “Paparazzi” is about “struggling to balance success and love.”
An excerpt from a separate interview:
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...
[Verse 1]
We are the crowd, we're c-comin' out
Got my flash on, it's true
Need that picture of you, it's so magical
We'd be so fantastico
Leather and jeans, garage 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
[Chorus]
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 (Yeah-ha)
Baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
[Verse 2]
I'll be your 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
[Chorus]
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 (Yeah-ha)
Baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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 (Yeah-ha)
Baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
