Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ Released! (LISTEN)
Rejoice Lady Gaga fans– the singer’s new single, “Born This Way” has finally been released in all its techno beat glory.
With lyrics like “Baby I was born this way” and “A different lover is not a sin,” the 24-year-old musician’s newest song is clearly meant to be an empowering anthem for gays and lesbians. Gaga has always been outspoken in her support for gay rights and she even called on fans to help repeal “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” last year.
Listen to the full song and read the lyrics after the jump.
“Born This Way” lyrics:
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, BabyVerse
My Mama told me when I was young
We are all born stars
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 wayPost-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 this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby I was born this way
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this wayDon’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 truthIn 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 and Post-chorusBridge
Don’t be a drag, 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 we’re 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 braveRepeat 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!
What do you think of Gaga’s new song? Share your thoughts in the comments.
I’m usually a fan of Gaga’s music, but this is bad. Really bad. Wow.. it’s actually painful! Big disappointment Gaga. :(!
Seriously? That is the song. It sounds EXACTLY like Express Yourself by Madonna. Lady Gaga needs to take several months off and get re-inspired. We want another song like Just Dance.
BORING
BAD
RIP-OFF
It’s not that bad, the problem is that we all expected somehing more, she made it a big deal :/
listen to the words you haters.you will see, the millions of downloads will show how much this song will be loved.
i like it a lot
i like it soooooooooooo much but how can i downlaod it
thats horrible!! and I used to be obsessed with Lady Gaga before she got really weird ad I was hoping I would start liking her again if she had a really good song but that DOESNT EVEN SOUND LIKE HER OTHER STUFF!! She doest eve sound good. I’m really sad. I know it’s hard for singers to be good all the time but at least keep your sound.
This will def def deffers get my booty shakin’ on the dance floor
This feels very early 90′s Madonna, and not in a good way. Don’t get me wrong, early 90s Madonna was great, but it’s 2011 and this is supposed to be Lady Gaga….
Corny and forced. Her fans will come back with something like, “SO? She’ll have the number one song in the country! You’re just jealous haters!” Then they’ll pretend that selling a ton of copies on iTunes = Great Music.
Every sense me heard this song, urine burns.
I think the song is awesome!
More like manufactured to make people believe you were born this way so they feel like they can identify with you when in reality it’s just a giant ploy on it’s audience.
Capital L-A-M-E
Hopefully Madonna will sue her ass off for copyright infringement and finish sending this worthless hag into oblivion. She is nothing but a copycat at every level and has a serious lack of talent besides.
I don’t think Madonna has a case. It sounds similar, the message is similar, but there’s no way to say Gaga actually copied. So, it’s just basically done in bad taste, rather than illegal.
LOVE her and I don’t care that is sounds like Madonna. I love Madonna. Obviously there is a gap in Music where Madonna used to be. Keep them Coming. Oh yea, we love her style at stealthisstyle. Love it!
Not my favorite of her, not even a bit this is like a 4.4 of 10
express yourself by madonna
im only 23 and i figured that one out fast!lol
I’ve heard this song in a dozen variations before. I’m disappointed – it’s very boring and predictable. But it will be a hit simply because it’s Gaga.
hmm..I love her but I don’t like this..
but hey, I hated alejandro at first and now I love it so who knows?
it sounds really familar…idk why…..80s much
don’t like it.
Exploiting the LGBTQ angle… we know you’re accepting Gaga, but we just want /good/ music.
It’s TERRIBLE!! Her only songs worth listening to are Poker Face and Just Dance and they’re not even that great.
It’s great if you’re gay and need validation. But we all already know it’s fine for you to be gay and shit. Quick reminder, not everyone is gay. Don’t expect everyone to be obsessed with this ‘Express Yourself’ rip. Madonna already did this.
It sounds like Madonna and the lyrics are so on the nose it’s painful. I love Gaga but its like she lost the fun in trying to make a message song. I just hope the rest of the album is stronger. This is inoffensive dance floor fluff, but not the epic number the stans have been expecting.
i really like this song. Gaga wrote this from her heart. Also remember that Madonna is one of her influences so if ur hating ur actually complementing her. If ur a true little monster then listen to the words. whether u like it or not its going to be a big hit
“Express Yourself” is about women holding themselves in high esteem in their relationships with men. This song is about LGBT people not feeling like they are sinners because they were born LGBT and are not choosing to be LGBT. Completely different themes. But this song is pretty corny; it’s not my favorite of hers, but I’m sure I’ll hear it so much I’ll end up liking it eventually.
i didnt like this song from the begining but now i hear it so much i love it!!
This is just a ploy to sweeten everybody’s ear. Shameless “Buy my cd because I am for… EVERYBODY!
ewww~ gaga! It’s TERRIBLE!!
not a fan!
