He always needs people to stare at him
She's always thinking that's not fair to them
Well he's found his new obsession
Giving off the wrong impression
Looks at mirrors more than he looks at her
He asks her what she thinks he should wear
If he thinks that he'll be famous
Then he'll do it with or without her there
Yeah he'll do it with or without her there
He's only in it for the spotlight
He wants the headlines reading his name
And he'll do anything he thinks might
Give him 15 seconds of fame
He's only in it for the spotlight
He wants the headlines reading his name
He won't give it up without a fight
For his 15 seconds
She goes out every night, on the town, don't know why
Trying to find her way out of this place
She's better off but maybe worse
Doesn't care who she hurts
She used to sing beautifully, she used to have integrity
She used to laugh, she used to smile, she used to be happy
But now her smile comes with a cost
Her self respect is up and gone, yeah she's so lost
She's only in it for the spotlight
She wants the headlines reading her name
And she'll do anything he thinks might
Give her 15 seconds of fame
She's only in it for the spotlight
She wants the headlines reading her name
She won't give it up without a fight
For her 15 seconds
He wants to be, she wants to be
Famous it's contagious but it's dangerous on relationships
If they want to make it they should take a break and go it alone
He wants to be, she wants to be
Plastered on the covers and in front of all the others
But they look so good together that it's better if they fake their pleasure
They're only in it for the spotlight
They want the headlines reading their names
And they'll do anything they think might
Give them 15 seconds of fame
They're only in it for the spotlight
They want the headlines reading their names
They won't give it up without a fight
For their 15 seconds of fame
