Lady GaGa - Paparazzi

Hello,
I have to translate a lyrics to school, it's Paparazzi by Lady GaGa and I don't know how to explain few parts. I'd be glad if you help.
I'll write the lyrics and bold the parts where I don't understand the meaning.

We are the crowd
We're c-comin' out
Got my flash on, it's true
Need that picture of you
It so magical
We'd be so fantastico - 1) I browsed it just like a noun and here it looks like an adjective

Leather and jeans
Garage Glamorous
Not sure what it means
But this photo of us it don't have a price - 2) Is there some special meaning of don't instead doesn't?
Ready for those flashing lights
Cause you know that baby I

I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa,
PAPARAZZI - 3) why it's splitted into two lines?, 4) why the paparazzi is written in capitals?, 5) is the papa a different word or is it just short paparazzi?, 6) what is the meaning of it in the text, it doesn't make a sence to me; the meaning "a photographer who wants interesting pictures" doesn't fit here to me.

Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa-PAPARAZZI - 7) Is this the same case as before or does it mean something different, considering not-splitted words and a dash insted comma?

I didn't do the rest yet, so I please for help with these expresions for now.

Thank you very much.
Denny
