Lyrics

Hello (hello) hello (hello) {x2}

I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing
But I'd gladly write a song instead
They said ok and everything was cool
Till a camera tried 2 get in my bed (hello)
My bed (hello) (hello)

I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("oh darling")
When this man tries 2 get in the car
("Hey prince, come on, give us a smile, eh?")
No introduction, "how've u been?"
Just - "up yours! smile, that's right, u're a star!" (star)

U call 'em bodyguards but I call 'em my friends
I guess I'm used 2 havin' 'em around
And cameras by nature like rewards
That's the trouble I get when I'm uptown

I'm not afraid 2 die cuz I know there's a better place 2 go
(Don't be afraid cuz there's a better place 2 go)
I eat what I want, whole wheat toast
(U can eat what u want, anything is cool in moderation)
And I'm happy, and that's 4 sure

We're against hungry children, our record stands tall
But there's just as much hunger here at home
We'll do what we can if y'all try 2 understand
A flower that has water will grow
And a child misunderstood will go
Hello! {x3}
(Hello)

Everybody
We're against hungry children, our record stands tall
But there's just as much hunger here at home
We'll do what we can if y'all try 2 understand
A flower that has water will grow
And the child misunderstood will go
Our record stand tall, u know
Give us time and love will show
