when i feel all alone and nobody knows
still gotta smile for a while i can't let it show
and when i'm backstage feeling down
gotta hurry gotta sing my song
gonna shake it off shake it off
strike a pose strike a pose
snap my fingers just like that
don't get what i want and that's a fact
snap my fingers just like that
don't get what i want just 'cause i want it
on the cover of your magazine
wherever i go they make a scene
so you wanna be just like
so you wanna be just like
think you wanna be just like me
never as easy as it seems
camera's flashing people fighting for the best shot
stay home just be by myself
walking free can't you see
snap my fingers just like that
don't get what i want and that's a fact
snap my fingers just like that
don't get what i want just 'cause i want it
on the cover of your magazine
where ever i go they make a scene
so you wanna be just like
so you wanna be just like
think you wanna be just like me
it's never as easy as it seems
