Lyrics to, Born This Way (First Single):
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 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 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 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 way


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 and Post-chorus


Bridge

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 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!
