Bonnie McKee
Shallow
[Verse 1]
I won't get out of bed
Unless there's someone for me to impress
Give me my designer dress
As I'll take that and nothing less
Won't leave home without my face
And extra outfits just in case
Shrugging people off with grace
'Cause they can always be replaced

[Pre-Chorus]
So, why should I care?
What can you do for me?
What can you do for me?
And who do you know?
Looking in the mirror and I say to myself

[Chorus]
The lights (Hey), the cash (Woo)
The life is taking over you (Oh now)
How did you get so shallow?
The lights (Hey), the cash (Woo)
You're burning all your bridges through (Oh no)
And now you're just a shadow
But you're not a fake, you need a break
You just need to be reminded that
The lights (Hey), the cash (Woo)
Are never gonna last for you (Oh no)
I shouldn't be so shallow
[Post-Chorus]
What can you do for me?
What can you do for me?

[Verse 2]
Laughing in the VIP at all the people under me
So afraid my friends might see
I'm really human underneath
It makes wonder

[Pre-Chorus]
Looking in the mirror and I say to myself

[Chorus]
The lights (Hey), the cash (Woo)
The life is taking over you (Oh now)
How did you get so shallow?
The lights (Hey), the cash (Woo)
You're burning all your bridges through (Oh no)
And now you're just a shadow
But you're not a fake, you need a break
You just need to be reminded that
The lights (Hey), the cash (Woo)
Are never gonna last for you (Oh no)
I shouldn't be so shallow
[Post-Chorus]
What can you do for me?
What can you do for me?
What can you do for me?
What can you do for me?

[Bridge]
I used to be a little girl with big dreams
Is it too late to get her back? Oh-oh

[Chorus]
The lights (Hey), the cash (Oh)
The life is taking over you (It's taking over, taking over)
How did you get so shallow?
The lights (Hey), the cash (Woo)
You're burning all your bridges through (Ooh)
And now you're just a shadow
But you're not a fake, you need a break (Whoa, whoa, yeah)
You just need to be reminded that
The lights (The light), the cash (The cash)
Are never gonna last for you
I shouldn't be so shallow

[Outro]
So shallow, so shallow, so shallow
I shouldn't be so shallow
The lights (Hey), the cash (Woo)
Was never gonna last for you (Oh no)
Be so shallow
What can you do for me?
What can you do for me?
What can you do for me?
