Lyrics

[Intro: Nikka Costa] Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh-huh Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh-huh Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh-huh Uh, ah, uh [Verse 1: Nikka Costa & both] I came here to entertain Traded sanity for fame Gave my life to please you all You couldn't wait to see me fall (Fall, fall, fall, fall) If all I did and all I said And all the songs that fill your head You just believe the stuff you read Checkin' for who's in my bed [Pre-Chorus: both & Nikka Costa] They can't say a thing about you now (La-la-la-la-la) Now that you're six feet underground [Chorus: both] Everybody loves you when you're dead Everybody loves you when you're dead [Verse 2: Sam Sparro & both] I made my final curtain call I only wanted the applause It always thundered in my heart Filled me up, tore me apart The media will get to ya Like static, they will cling to ya Intoxicate and spin you round Lift you up and kick you down [Pre-Chorus: both & Nikka Costa & Sam Sparro] They can't say a thing about you now (La-la-la-la-la, whoa) Now that you're six feet underground (Oh) [Chorus: both & Nikka Costa & Sam Sparro] Everybody loves you when you're dead (They love you, they love you) Everybody loves you when you're dead (Oh yes, they do) Everybody loves you when you're dead (They love you, they love you, mmm) Everybody loves you when you're dead [Bridge: Sam Sparro & Nikka Costa] (Everybody loves you when you're dead) Oh (Everybody loves you when you're dead) Oh Hey (They can't say a thing about you now) If I leave a song inside your head Will you sing along when I am dead? [Chorus: both & Nikka Costa & Sam Sparro] Everybody loves you when you're dead (They love you, they love you) Everybody loves you when you're dead (When you're dead) Everybody loves you when you're dead (They love you, they love you, mmm) Everybody loves you when you're dead (When you're dead) Everybody loves you when you're dead (They love you, they love you) Everybody loves you when you're dead (When you're dead) [Outro: Nikka Costa] Ah, uh, ah, uh-huh Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh-huh Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh-huh
