Lyrics
I was going to write a song about you
I intended to create a song focused on you.
But it wasn't going to be nice
The song was not going to convey positive sentiments.
I was going to bash the hell out of you
I planned to strongly criticize or attack you.
But I didn't want to make you cry
I decided against it to avoid causing you emotional distress.
Just ignore her and maybe she'll go away
Suggesting to ignore you, hoping you would lose interest.
People already pay you way too much attention
Claiming you receive excessive attention from people.
Just open any tabloid to page five
Referencing negative media coverage, specifically on page five of tabloids.
There's ten whole pages dedicated to you
Highlighting extensive media coverage, dedicating ten pages to your life.
And what you do in your life
Focusing on your actions and life events covered by the media.
There wasn't this much publicity when Mother Theresa died
Comparing the publicity to notable figures like Mother Teresa's death.
Or when Benjamin Franklin flew his kite
Referencing Benjamin Franklin's famous kite experiment.
Or on anyone who's not white
Commenting on the racial bias in media attention.
And what about Princess Di
Questioning the disproportionate focus on white individuals.
But really now
Expressing skepticism or disbelief about the situation.
Let's leave her alone
Advocating to leave you alone, despite previous criticisms.
After all she's earned her money by...
Suggesting that you have earned your money through some means.
Let's bash her and make her cry
Contradicting the previous decision and advocating criticism to elicit a emotional response.
