The lyrics are bold and risky. I can not see the song being a massive hit since it is not very relatable for most people and a lot of stations will even refuse to play it but it is sure to be a defining moment in her career and I am sure she and the label have a second single lined up ready to smash as soon as it needs to

My guess: mid-temp song.
Meanwhile, im glad Perez is friends/fan of GaGa. Although i dont like everything he does or his personality, he is a GaGastan and i think understands what most of her fans do like....

I think the lyrics are excellent. It's a shame the single topic had to be closed. So may trolls and angry people hating for no reason...I'm glad we can enjoy the lyrics together with her true fans :)

Lady Gaga memorably sang a couple bars from her forthcoming, and much-anticipated single “Born This Way” at last fall’s MTV Video Music Awards and released album art, but now she’s giving up everything but the actual song itself, as today pop’s reigning queen released the song’s full lyrics via a Tweet just about an hour ago. Based on what she released—and as expected—the song is very empowerment focused, with the first verse going, “My mama told me when I was young / We were all born superstars.” Hello, yes we were! A few bars later, the chorus really drives home her point: “I’m beautiful in my way / ‘Cause God makes no mistakes / I’m on the right track baby / I was born this way.” Basically, she’s saying: Make no apologies, be who you are, don’t be ashamed of whatever/whoever that is! Of course, I love it. Elton John told EW earlier this year: “‘Born This Way’…will completely get rid of Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive.’ This is the new ‘I Will Survive.’ That was the gay anthem. This is the new gay anthem. Actually, it’s not a gay anthem—it can apply to anybody.” Based on what’s here, I’d say that’s certainly true—gays and straights alike will most certainly love this. Now we just need to hear the actual song! But we won’t hear it until Feb. 13, the same day as the Grammys, which will feature a performance by Gaga. In the Tweet, Lady Gaga also revealed the song’s credits. ‘Born This Way’ was written by Lady Gaga; produced by Lady Gaga, Fernando Garibay, and DJ White Shadow; and mixed and engineered by David Russel. music-mix.ew.com/2011/01/27/lady-gaga-born-this-way-full-lyrics/

I think the lyrics are excellent. I do as well. Now all it's going to take is GaGa's vocals and an amazing beat to make this song become something awesome. I also want to add to the discussion in the single thread. About how some people can't figure out what this song is going to sound like, a ballad, mid-tempo, or up-tempo, and I agree. I hope it sounds as fresh and new as I think it's going to be. Yeah, the lyrics are nothing we haven't heard before, but so is Firework, and I still like it. With all the songs out there in the world now, it's kind of hard to be original lyrically. It's how you exert the song and make it feel fresh is what counts the most.

I respect GaGa for being a bit ballsy with her lead single. My biggest fear is that it will be her "Russian Roulette" and I'm also fearful of its sound due to the producer (Fernando Garibay) who produced the only awful song on The Fame Monster "Dance In The Dark". Regardless of the controversy, I am excited for some new material .

I love you Gaga, but those lyrics are moronic. The subject is the same overused "personal acceptance" thing from FW, WRWWR and FP, and lyrically... let's just say that it could have been written by any random first-grader.

Those are my only worries too, except I don't think DITD is a bad song. I just worry it might sound exactly the same since the lyrics point to a similar production style.

I care very little about lyrics so I wanna hear the song. I didn't even bother to read the lyrics Like b4l, I do feel like Gaga is exploiting the LGBT community for her own personal gain and like Anbaric said, she wouldn't be the first. So that doesn't really matter to me either. Plz sound like DITD : prays: I also expect it to be an uptempo. The fact that it's a lead single + Gaga + described as the "I Will Survive" of our generation, I'm 99% sure it will be.

If i saw the lyric to Poker Face or Bad Romance, i would thought the song would be horrible. Just wait for the song.

I like the lyrics.
In any case, this is a pop song. Lyrics/Messages are almost irrelevant. Every possible theme, concept, etc. has been rehashed.
The important things, IMO & in level of importance, are 1) production; 2) melodies; and 3) vocals. We haven't gotten to these yet.

Those were cheeky, this is just a failed attempt at trasgression.

Although maybe not Bad Romance...but definitely Poker Face. I could definitely have seen myself being like "what the hell is this" at first glance of the Poker Face lyrics.

Poker Face's production, melody and dark vocals made it eargasmic pop heaven . The acostic version of it is also amazing .

Poker Face is my favourite GaGa single ever. It took me over 18 months to even remotely get tired of hearing it . T'was the song that made me the Monster that I am today .

I've always liked Gaga, but Paparazzi sealed the deal Paparazzi is probably my second favourite GaGa single/sing . The video definetely did the song justice.
