[Intro: Danja & Britney Spears]
Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of Dance Music to bring you a special bulletin from the intercontinental radio news. Our very own Pop Princess, now Queen of Pop, has a special announcement she would like to make.​
You're on
I think I'm ready for my close-up
Yeah

[Verse 1]
You don't like me, I don't like you, it don't matter
Only difference, you still listen, I don't have to
In one ear and out the other, I don't need ya
Your words don't stick, I ain't perfect, but you ain't either
If you're feeling froggy, leap
I ain't even losin' sleep
There's more to me than what you see
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry

[Pre-Chorus]
Mr. Photographer
I think I'm ready for my close-up
Tonight
Make sure you catch me from my good side
Pick one
These other, ha, just wanna be me
Is that money in your pocket
Or you happy to see me?
[Chorus]
Kill the lights
Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down
Kill the lights
Don't be scared, make a move, see me now?
Kill the lights
I feel you watching me watching you
Kill the lights
You can't handle the truth, what happened to 'em?

[Post-Chorus]
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)

[Verse 2]
All the flashin' tryna cash in hurts my eyes
All the poses out of focus, I despise
Eff me over, your exposure, not the best
If that was bad, watch how I release this stress

[Pre-Chorus]
Mr. Photographer (Yeah)
I think I'm ready for my close-up
Tonight (Yeah)
Make sure you catch me from my good side
Pick one (Yeah)
These other, ha, just wanna be me
Is that money in your pocket (Yeah)
Or you happy to see me?
[Chorus]
Kill the lights
Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down
Kill the lights
Don't be scared, make a move, see me now?
Kill the lights
I feel you watching me watching you
Kill the lights
You can't handle the truth, what happened to 'em?

[Post-Chorus]
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)

[Bridge]
You're the star now, welcome to the big league
They all want a pic, they all wanna see, see
See what you're made of, what you're gonna do
Is life gonna get the best of you?

[Chorus]
Kill the lights
Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down
Kill the lights
Don't be scared, make a move, see me now?
Kill the lights
I feel you watching me watching you
Kill the lights
You can't handle the truth, what happened to 'em?
[Post-Chorus]
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
