No matter gay straight or bi

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

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 loving 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"

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 (born this way)

Oh there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

Baby I was born this way (born this way)

Oh there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

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, don't be, don't be

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 (same D.N.A.)

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

Oh there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

Baby I was born this way (born this way)

Oh there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way

(Way) Don't be

(Don't be)

(Way) Church

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 was born to survive

No matter black, white or beige

Gaga, having faced her own set of challenges growing up, including bullying, understood the importance of self-love and acceptance.

Drawing from personal experiences, Gaga used this song to address her own struggles with identity. During her youth, she often shared stories about feeling out of place, different, or misunderstood. Anyone could sing 'Born This Way'.

Inspired by personal experiences and the broader LGBTQ+ community, Gaga’s message is crystal clear: love yourself, no matter who you are or where you come from. That's the kind of record I need to make.

The song is about learning who you are and loving that person, no matter of your race, gender, or sexuality. Gaga’s saying no matter your background, race, or identity, you’re perfect.

“No matter gay, straight, or bi’, lesbian, transgender life…I was born to survive” stands out as a beacon of support for the LGBTQ+ community.

It’s about love and acceptance, irrespective of gender or faith.

The song debuted at the top position of the Billboard Hot 100 and became the 1000th number-one single in the chart's history. That's the record that's going to shake up the industry. But born this way

Lady Gaga Lyrics

It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital "H-I-M" (M, M, M)
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

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 loving 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"

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 (Born this way)

Ooh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way (Born this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
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 (Don't be, don't be)

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 (Same DNA)

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes

Rejoice and love yourself today

"Born This Way" is the lead single from Lady Gaga's second studio album of the same name.

It's not about the production. This song became her way of speaking to those who felt left out and letting them know they weren’t alone.

Moreover, the song was also heavily influenced by the LGBTQ+ community, which Gaga has always been a part of and supported. It's not about the track. It’s a powerful anthem reminding us that we’re all perfect in our unique ways and should confidently own our identities.

Her unique style and personality were, at times, isolating, and she knew others felt the same way.
