Famous Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]
'Ye would've said you're so "Amazing"
So how could you be so "Heartless," girl?
"Live Your Life," take T-I-M-E
"Day 'n' Night" just like Kid Cudi
You'll think of me, you will, oh

Drake would say that you're the "Best He Ever Had"
Rumors come and go but you keep in shadow
Everywhere you go it follows, can't understand, I still love you
(Watch the blogs talk about this one) Oh, oh


[Chorus]
Soon as I thought I found the right woman
There were other guys who thought the same thing about her
Like damn, you let me down, down, down
'Cause you're famous, girl, for breaking hearts
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (Girl)
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (Girl)
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (Girl)
Should've known you'd break my heart
That you would break my heart, heart, heart

[Verse 2]
Keri would've said my love "Knocks Her Down"
Keyshia would've told me I was "Sent From Heaven"
Sorry B, I don't wear no "Halo"

You were first to play the game though
Sorry, I bust the windows out your car

I might have cheated in the beginning
I was wrong for writing "Disturbia"
But I meant it in "Forever," we were 'posed to be together
And I can't let you go

[Chorus]
Soon as you thought you found the right man
There were other girls who thought the same thing about me
Like damn, I let you down, down, down
Yes, I'm famous, girl, for breaking hearts
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (Girl)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (Girl)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (Girl)
Didn't know I'd break your heart
That I would break your heart, heart, heart
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (Girl)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (Girl)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (Girl)
Didn't know I'd break your heart
That I would break your heart, heart, heart


[Bridge]
Many hearts we should've left unbroken
Empty words are better left unspoken
Too much pressure, I wish time was frozen
Seems we lost our way now
I hope you're happy being famous, girl


[Chorus]
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (Should've known that you would break my heart)
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (Should have known that you would leave me lonely)
You're famous, girl, girl, girl (Yeah)
Should've known you'd break my heart
That you would break my heart, heart, heart
(But then again I'm famous, girl)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (I've broken my share of hearts)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm famous, girl, girl, girl (Should've known from the start that we would break apart)
Didn't know I'd break your heart
That I would break your heart, heart, heart (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

“Famous Girl” is what it is. I mean, it really doesn’t need any explanation. I think what “Famous Girl” does is just explain how I felt and how I feel about certain situations. So if you want to know what it is, listen to it.
