Lady Gaga - The Fame Lyrics






Just Dance

Ch'yeah
RedOne, Konvict
Gaga, oh, eh

I've had a little bit too much, much (oh, oh, oh-oh)
All of the people start to rush (start to rush by)
A dizzy twister dance, can't find my drink or man
Where are my keys? I lost my phone, phone (oh, oh, oh-oh)

What's goin' on, on the floor?
I love this record, baby, but I can't see straight anymore (woo)
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember, but it's alright, a-alright

Just dance
Gonna be okay, da-da-doo-doot
And just dance
Spin that record, babe, da-da-doo-doot
And just dance
Gonna be okay, da-da-da-dance, dance, dance
Just, j-j-just dance

Wish I could shut my playboy mouth (oh, oh, oh-oh)
How'd I turn my shirt inside out? (Inside out, right)
Control your poison, babe, roses have thorns, they say
And we're all gettin' hosed tonight (oh, oh, oh-oh)

What's goin' on, on the floor?
I love this record, baby, but I can't see straight anymore
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember, but it's alright, a-alright (woo)

Just dance
Gonna be okay, da-da-doo-doot
And just dance
Spin that record, babe, da-da-doo-doot
And just dance
Gonna be okay, da-da-da-dance, dance, dance
Just, j-j-just

When I come through on the dance floor, checkin' out that catalog (hey)
Can't believe my eyes, so many women without a flaw (hey)
And I ain't gon' give it up, steady tryna pick it up like a call (hey)
I'ma hit it, I'ma beat it up, latch onto it until tomorrow, yeah
Shorty, I can see that you got so much energy
The way you twirlin' up them hips 'round and 'round
And now there's no reason at all why you can't leave here with me
In the meantime, stay, and let me watch you break it down and

Dance
Gonna be okay, da-da-doo-doot (oh)
And just dance (ooh yeah)
Spin that record, babe, da-da-doo-doot (ooh yeah)
And just dance
Gonna be okay, da-da-doo-doot (ooh yeah)
And just dance
Spin that record, babe, da-da-doo-doot (oh)
And just dance
Gonna be okay, da-da-da-dance, dance, dance (gonna be okay, yeah)
Just, j-j-just dance (oh)

(Incredible)
(Amazing)
(Music)
Woo
Let's go

Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint, it's symphonic
Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint, electronic
Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint, it's symphonic
Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint, electronic

Go, use your muscle, carve it out, work it, hustle
(I got it, just stay close enough to get it on)
Don't slow, drive it, clean it, Lysol, bleed it
Spend the last dough (I got it) in your pock-o (I got it)

Just dance
Gonna be okay, da-da-doo-doot
And just dance
Spin that record, babe, da-da-doo-doot
And just dance (baby)
Gonna be okay, da-da-doo-doot
And just dance
Spin that record, babe, da-da-doo-doot (oh, baby, yeah)
And just dance
Gonna be okay, da-da-da-dance, dance, dance (spin that record, baby, yeah)
Just, j-j-just dance

Paparazzi

We are the crowd
We're c-coming out
Got my flash on, it's true
Need that picture of you

Baby, you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi

I'll be your girl backstage at your show
Velvet ropes and guitars
Yeah 'cause you're my rock star in between the sets
Eyeliner and cigarettes

Shadow is burnt
Yellow dance and we turn
My lashes are dry
Purple teardrops I cry, it don't have a price
Loving you is cherry pie
'Cause you know that baby I

I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me

Snap snap to that shit on the radio
Don't stop for anyone
We're plastic but we still have fun!

The Fame

I can't help myself
I'm addicted to a life of material
It's some kind of joke
I'm obsessively opposed to the typical
All we care about is
Runway models, Cadillacs and liquor bottles
Give me something, I wanna be
Retro glamour, Hollywood, yes, we live for the

Fame (fame)
Doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we wanna live the life of the rich and famous

We live for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
Isn't it a shame, shame, baby? A shame, shame
In it for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame

I can see myself
In the movies with my picture in city lights
Photograph my mind
And whatever else you'd like to shoot, you decide
All we care about is
Pornographic girls on film and body plastic
Give me something I wanna see
Television, and hot blondes in odd positions

Money Honey

That's M-O-N-E-why so sexy?

Damn, I love the Jag, the jet, and the mansion, oh yeah
And I enjoy the gifts and the trips to the islands, oh yeah
It's good to live expensive, you know it
But my knees get weak, intensive

When you give me k-kisses (that's money, honey)
When I'm your lover and your mistress (that's money, honey)
When you touch me, it's so delicious (that's money, honey)
Baby, when you tear me to pieces (that's money, honey)

That's M-O-N-E-why so sexy? I

Damn, I'd love a boat by the beach on the West Coast, oh yeah
And I'd enjoy some fine champagne while my girls toast, oh yeah
It's good to live expensive, you know it
But my knees get weak, intensive

When you give me k-kisses (that's money, honey)
When I'm your lover and your mistress (that's money, honey)
When you touch me, it's so delicious (that's money, honey)
Baby, when you tear me to pieces (that's money, honey)

You know I 'preciate the finer things
But it's not what makes me happiest, baby (I can do without it, babe)
Your tender loving's more than I can handle
Never burn out this candle baby, baby

K-k-k-k-kisses (that's money, honey)
When I'm your lover and your mistress (that's money, honey)
When you touch me, it's so delicious (that's money, honey)

You've gotta a lotta lotta nerve
Coming here when I'm still with him
And I can't have you, it isn't fair
Born march of '86, my birthday's coming
And if I had one wish
Yeah, you'd be it

When you're 'round
I lose myself inside your mouth
You've got brown eyes
Like no one else
Baby make it to me

Again and again
Again, again, again, again
Never stop again and again
Again, again, a-a-again, again
Never stop, oh

Or waited when we were hooking up
Yeah he'd a never last
Last week when I was sad
You said that you knew
My eyes change from kinda green

Brown Eyes

In your brown eyes I walked away
In your brown eyes I couldn't stay
In your brown eyes you'll watch her go
Then turn the record on and wonder what went wrong
What went wrong

If everything was everything but everything is over
Everything could be everything if only we were older
I guess it's just a silly song about you
And how I lost you and your brown eyes

In your brown eyes I was feeling low
'Cause they're brown eyes and you never know
Got some brown eyes but I saw her face
I knew that it was wrong
So baby, turn the record on, play that song

Where everything was everything but everything is over
Everything could be everything if only we were older
I guess it's just a silly song about you
And how I lost you and your brown eyes, brown eyes

Everything was everything but baby, it's the last show
Everything could be everything but it's time to say goodbye, so
Get your last fix and your last hit
Grab your old girl with her new tricks
Honey yeah, it's no surprise that I got lost in your brown eyes

In your brown eyes, brown, brown eyes
Your brown eyes, brown, brown eyes
Got some brown eyes, brown, brown eyes

But I'm happy pretending we're alright (alright)

Back to: Lady Gaga


The Fame is the debut studio album by American singer Lady Gaga. It was released on August 19, 2008, by Interscope Records. After joining KonLive Distribution and Cherrytree Records in 2008, Gaga began working on the album with different producers, primarily RedOne, Martin Kierszenbaum, and Rob Fusari.

Musically, The Fame is an electropop, synth-pop, and dance-pop record that displays influences from 1980s music. Lyrically, it visualizes Gaga's love of fame in general, while also dealing with subjects such as love, sex, money, drugs, and sexual identity. The album was primarily promoted through The Fame Ball Tour and multiple television appearances, and was reissued as a deluxe edition with The Fame Monster on November 18, 2009.

The album received generally favorable reviews from critics, who commended its lyrical content, Gaga's musicianship and vocal ability. It was a commercial success, topping the charts in several countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Poland, and Switzerland.
