Desmond Child VIVA LA DIVA Lyrics

[Intro]
If you want the truth, and nothing but the truth
Someone's gotta set you straight
I told you money doesn't buy you class
But a diva has needs
See these, they didn't grow on trees
You gotta make it on your own
I'm talking to you

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time a woman walked two steps behind
Afraid to talk and speak her mind, kept it all inside
But those days are over, listen sister
Once there was a book of rules that told you how to look
A dissing glance was all it took, to push you to the side
But those days are over, listen mister

[Chorus]
Viva la diva, viva la diva
Here's to the diva deep in you
Viva la diva, viva la diva
Let's give somе diva attitude
Viva la diva
Let the diva livе in you

[Verse 2]
Don't you see the signs
Don't have to read between the lines 'Cause what I want is what is mine
I'm not ashamed
I never look back
So never give up and never surrender
[Chorus]
Viva la diva (Viva)
Viva la diva (Diva)
Here's to the diva deep in you
Diva, diva, diva
Let's give some diva attitude
Viva la diva (Oh)
Let the diva live in you

[Bridge]
You see these rings, they're mine
You see these shoes, they're Jimmy Choo's
You see this faux-fur, it's cruelty free, like me (Shut up)
Well let me tell you something ladies
You deserve a piece of the pie
Your penthouse, you in the sky

[Chorus]
Viva la diva, viva la diva
Here's to the diva deep in you
Diva, diva, diva
Let's give some diva attitude
Viva la diva (I'm talking to you)
Viva la diva (Oh)
Let the diva live in you
