Lady Gaga decided the best way to thank her Little Monsters for turning “Thank God 4 Gaga” into trending topic on Twitter was to treat them to the opening lyrics to “Born This Way”. The title track of recently named Most-Anticipated Album Of 2011 is sure to be “Firework”, “F**kin’ Perfect” and every other “I Will Survive”-esque anthem rolled into one (Elton John claims it will completely dethrone the Gloria Gayner classic—so get ready, karaoke bars). When the provocative artist wasn’t busy leaking lyrics, she managed to find time to wish Ellen DeGeneres a very happy birthday live on air. UPDATE: Gaga has now given her Monsters the full set of lyrics! Read below. [Gaga Daily]
Gaga not only sings “Happy Birthday” to a stunned and surprised Ellen, but calls the daytime host an inspiration and promises to perform “Born This Way” on her show—seriously, could you ask for a better birthday gift than that?!
“BORN THIS WAY”
Written by: Lady Gaga
Produced by: Lady Gaga, Fernando Garibay, DJ White Shadow
Mixed and engineered by: David Russel
INTRO:
It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
’cause you were Born This Way, Baby
VERSE:
My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir
“There’s nothing wrong with lovin’ who you are”
She said, “‘Cause he made you perfect, babe”
“So hold your head up girl and you’ll go far,
Listen to me when I say”
CHORUS:
I’m beautiful in my way
‘Cause God makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track baby
I was Born This Way
Don’t hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you’re set
I’m on the right track baby
I was Born This Way
POST-CHORUS:
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby I was born-
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don’t be a drag – just be a queen
Don’t be a drag – just be a queen
Don’t be a drag – just be a queen
Don’t be!
VERSE:
Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (love needs faith)
REPEAT CHORUS + POST-CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Don’t be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you’re broke or evergreen
You’re black, white, beige, chola descent
You’re lebanese, you’re orient
Whether life’s disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
‘Cause baby you were born this way
No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to be brave
REPEAT CHORUS
OUTRO/REFRAIN:
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!
Really?..are these lyrics a joke….She is using the gay community for all she can!
i love gaga
Really stupid. Sorry Gaga. I hope your whole album isn’t like this.
sweet bleedin’ jeebus ! is that the most trite, pandering crapola you have ever read in your entire life or what ?!? she ought to get a job at some indie greeting card company and leave the songwriting to people with some actual talent.
