Story Behind The Song

I was in NY for a soccer tournament and while walking down the street in Restaurant Row got an idea for what I thought was a good Lady GaGa song. I wanted something tongue-in-cheek but which expressed the idea that we're usually more than you see on the surface. The food analogies became a cute way of expressing the idea while being not-so covertly sexual.

Song Description

This is a song about putting on an image in your life: being plastic when you're really deeper than what you present on the surface. In this song, the irony is that the singer is self-aware and makes the choice to put forth the image and have fun with it, all the while knowing that what lies beneath the surface is more important and has more value.

Lyrics

Image is everything I'm not just what I seem
My life may be glamorous and polished, so unreal Wannabe's, sycophants, fake friends I have for days Plenty expensive toys but they don't mean a thing

'Cuz the truth is I'm really a deep dish, for sure not a thin crust I'm all kinds of delicious
I'm the best kind of dessert I'm fat free
Incredibly tasty delectably creamy

Ooh Aah Yeah, I've got plasticity
Ooh Aah Yeah, it's not the real me
Ooh Aah Yeah, it's fake plasticity
Ooh Aah Yeah and I'm not easy

Baby I'm into you but don't think you've got it made Love can be dangerous especially when you're playing
I take my own road, what to do and who to fuck (love)
It's always a simple choice, you've got to get me up

But the truth is I'm really a deep dish, for sure not a thin crust I'm all kinds of delicious
I'm the best kind of dessert I'm fat free
Incredibly tasty, delectably creamy

Ooh Aah Yeah, I've got plasticity
Ooh Aah Yeah, it's not the real me
Ooh Aah Yeah, it's fake plasticity
Ooh Aah Yeah, can you see me?

Take the time and get good look
Don't fantasize
I've got a deep soul
Though I tantalize...
I'm hoping you'll see the better me that I hide

Cuz the truth is i put on a fake mask to protect my soft heart
From getting broken
I'm the best kind of person I'm carefree
Incredibly kindly, but don't you FUCK (mess) with me

Ooh Aah Yeah, I've got plasticity
Ooh Aah Yeah, it's not the real me
Ooh Aah Yeah, it's fake plasticity
Ooh Aah Yeah, I'm having fun being...
Plastic
