Prima Donna Lyrics
[Verse 1: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
You've got the look they'll never forget
You wanna be noticed - but they haven't noticed yet
Oh oh whoa oh
When the time is right - a star on your door
Taking you places that you've never been before
Where did you go?
Oh oh whoa oh
[Chorus: Peter Cetera, (Bandmates)]
Go to sleep tonight and dream about it til the morning
A feeling for the very first time
On the screen tonight and when you wanna
They treat you like a Prima Donna (Prima Donna)
[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
You're a movie queen - familiar face
Prettiest woman in the whole of the human race
Oh oh whoa oh
You're gonna be famous - you wanna go far
Name up in lights - everybody knows who you are
On with the show
Oh oh whoa oh
[Chorus: Peter Cetera, (Bandmates)]
Make a scene tonight and dream about it til the morning
Appearing for the very first time
On the screen tonight and when you wanna
They treat you like a Prima Donna (Prima Donna)
You've got the look they'll never forget
You wanna be noticed - but they haven't noticed yet
Oh oh whoa oh
When the time is right - a star on your door
Taking you places that you've never been before
Where did you go?
Oh oh whoa oh
[Chorus: Peter Cetera, (Bandmates)]
Go to sleep tonight and dream about it til the morning
A feeling for the very first time
On the screen tonight and when you wanna
They treat you like a Prima Donna (Prima Donna)
[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
You're a movie queen - familiar face
Prettiest woman in the whole of the human race
Oh oh whoa oh
You're gonna be famous - you wanna go far
Name up in lights - everybody knows who you are
On with the show
Oh oh whoa oh
[Chorus: Peter Cetera, (Bandmates)]
Make a scene tonight and dream about it til the morning
Appearing for the very first time
On the screen tonight and when you wanna
They treat you like a Prima Donna (Prima Donna)
[Verse 3: Peter Cetera]
How does it feel being number one? (How does it feel?)
Hard to imagine, but I can't blame you for trying
How does it feel having so much fun? (How does it feel?)
Hard to imagine but it's so electrifying
Oh whoa oh
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4: Peter Cetera]
How does it feel being number one? (How does it feel?)
Hard to imagine, but I can't blame you for trying
How does it feel having so much fun? (How does it feel?)
Hard to imagine but it's so electrifying
Oh whoa oh
[Outro: Peter Cetera, (Bandmates)]
Go to sleep tonight and dream about it til the morning
A feeling for the very first time
On the screen tonight and when you wanna
Treat you like a Prima Donna (Prima Donna)
Treat you like a Prima Donna (Prima Donna)
(Prima Donna)
(Prima Donna)
(Prima Donna)
How does it feel being number one? (How does it feel?)
Hard to imagine, but I can't blame you for trying
How does it feel having so much fun? (How does it feel?)
Hard to imagine but it's so electrifying
Oh whoa oh
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4: Peter Cetera]
How does it feel being number one? (How does it feel?)
Hard to imagine, but I can't blame you for trying
How does it feel having so much fun? (How does it feel?)
Hard to imagine but it's so electrifying
Oh whoa oh
[Outro: Peter Cetera, (Bandmates)]
Go to sleep tonight and dream about it til the morning
A feeling for the very first time
On the screen tonight and when you wanna
Treat you like a Prima Donna (Prima Donna)
Treat you like a Prima Donna (Prima Donna)
(Prima Donna)
(Prima Donna)
(Prima Donna)
