Applause Lyrics
I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying is it right or is it wrong
If only fame had its own key baby could i bear
Being away from you i found a way to get you here
I live for the applause applause applause
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way you cheer and scream for me
The applause applause applause
Give me the thing that i love (I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me the thing that i love, love (I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
A-p-p-l-a-u-s-e
(make it real loud)
Put you hands up make 'em touch, touch
(a-p-p-l-a-u-s-e)
A-p-p-l-a-u-s-e
(make it real loud)
Put you hands up make 'em touch, touch
(a-p-p-l-a-u-s-e)
I've be over heard your theory nostalgia's for geeks
I guess sir if you say so some of us just like to read
One second I'm a star then suddenly the star is me
Pop culture was an art now arts a pop culture in me
I live for the applause applause applause
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way you cheer and scream for me
The applause applause applause
Give me the thing that i love (I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me the thing that i love (I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up make 'em touch,touch (make it real loud)
