Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I had to leave you
You didn't give me a choice
Surrounded yourself with yes-men
To drown out the one dissenting voice

[Pre-Chorus]
How can you call this a partnership?
I deal with the iceberg
While you sunbathe on the tip
You don't want to play the game
In fact, you never did
I did all the playing
While you ran away and hid

[Chorus]
(Prima Donna)
I cannot function properly
(Prima Donna)
Unless the spotlight is on me

[Verse 2]
Out who my friends are;
That's what I've found
And I can't believe you'd stoop so low
To obtain the moral high ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Why pretend to be an altruist
When one's of no further use to you
One ceases to exist
We're all making sacrifices, so how come
You like to shroud yourself in fake, flaming martyrdom?

[Chorus]
(Prima Donna)
I cannot function properly
(Prima Donna)
Unless the spotlight is on me
(Allegedly)

[Solo]

I cannot function properly
Unless the spotlight is on me

[Chorus]
(Prima Donna)
May I remind you, respectfully
(Prima Donna)
The whole wide world revolves around me
