Lyrics
Primadonna girl, yeah

All I ever wanted was the world

I can't help that I need it all

The primadonna life, the rise and fall

You say that I'm kinda difficult

But it's always someone else's fault

Got you wrapped around my finger, babe

You can count on me to misbehave



Primadonna girl

Would you do anything for me?

Buy a big diamond ring for me?

Would you get down on your knees for me?

Pop that pretty question right now, baby



Beauty queen on a silver screen

Living life like I'm in a dream

I know I've got a big ego

I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though



(Ooh) And I'm sad to the core, core, core

(Yeah) Every day is a chore, chore, chore

(Wow) When you give, I want more, more, more

I wanna be adored



'Cause I'm a primadonna girl, yeah

fill the void up with Celluloid

Take a picture, I'm with the boys

Get what I want 'cause I ask for it

Not because I'm really that deserving of it



Living life like I'm in a play

In the lime light I want to stay

I know I've got a pretty big ego

I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though



(Ooh) Going up, going down, down, down

(Yeah) Anything for the crown, crown, crown

(Wow) When the lights dimming down, down, down

I spin around



Primadonna girl, yeah

All I ever wanted was the world

I can't help that I need it all

The primadonna life, the rise and fall

You say that I'm kinda difficult

But it's always someone else's fault

Got you wrapped around my finger, babe

You can count on me to misbehave

Primadonna girl

DAISY ;__; This is such a wonderful vid! Daisy's such a fun and complex character, you did a fantastic job of showing that. I love your editing, well done!

[sholio]

This is so great! Daisy's such a fascinating character and I think you got all the different sides of her really well; nicely done.

[sanguinity]

Daisy! Oh, I really need to watch this whole series again, because it's obvious that I've forgotten big major things about the show. But Daisy! Who seems like she wants such simple, shallow things, but is messily struggling with a broken heart and big griefs and small comforts just like the rest of them.

Oh darling! This is feelings with a beat!

[violetemerald]

Watching this has totally made me want to re-watch this show!! WOW! Amazing editing on all of the beats and with all of the little lyric matches. I loved the "I feel empty" during the 'void" match as well as like... everything about this. I have clearly also forgotten stuff about this show, but... yes. Really enjoyable, the song seemed PERFECT and the character study seemed truly complete.

[themadlurker]

Daisy!! You captured her so well and all her facets. :')

[starrylizard]

So catchy! I love your pacing and editing and colouring and just how fun it all is. :D
