  • Her daddy had the money
    All the milk and honey
    She never had to pay any dues
    Don't know what her name is
    But man she sure is famous
    She keeps herself all over the news
    They're paying close attention
    The new inside edition is feeding all they can to her fans
    She's got the paparazzi behind her Mazzarati

    I said why, why, why does it have to be such a big deal
    We try, try, try, Ive come to the conclusion
    Were living an illusion,
    Were better of just keeping it real
    Were better of just keeping it real

    She got a brand new movie
    About giving up the booty
    She showed it all and nobody cared
    And made her such a mess
    When she didn't get the press
    So she went and cut of all of her hair

    I said why, why, why does it have to be such a big deal
    We try, try, try, Ive come to the conclusion
    Were living an illusion,
    Were better off just keeping it real Writer/s: DELBERT MCCLINTON, GARY NICHOLSON, TAYLOR HICKS, TOM HAMBRIDGE
