► Lady GaGa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know that you may love me,
But I just can't be with you like this anymore,
Alejandro
She's got both hands
In her pocket
And she won't look at you
She hides true love
En su bolsillo
She got a halo around her finger
Around you
You know that I love you boy
Hot like Mexico, rejoice
At this point I gotta choose
Nothing to lose
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Alejandro
I'm not your babe
I'm not your babe, Fernando
Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Roberto

Stop, please,
Just let me go Alejandro,
Just let me go
She's not broken
She's just a baby
But her boyfriend's like a dad, just like a dad
And all those flames that burned before him
Now he's gonna fire fight, gotta cool the bad
You know that I love you boy
Hot like Mexico, rejoice
At this point I've gotta choose
Nothing to lose
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Alejandro
I'm not your babe
I'm not your babe, Fernando
Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Roberto

Alejandro
The lyrics to Lady Gaga’s song “Alejandro” speak of a woman who is torn between her love for the addressee and her need to be true to herself. She acknowledges their mutual love but explains that she can no longer continue their relationship due to some unidentified reason. The character of Alejandro is used as a metaphor for the man whom she can no longer be with. She tells him to stop calling her name and to let her go. The woman in the song is portrayed as strong and determined, even in the face of her heartache.
Lady Gaga has described the song as a homage to her friends in Latin America. The lyrics are sung in both English and Spanish, which gives the song a multicultural feel. The song has been interpreted in different ways, with some suggesting it speaks to the LGBTQ community and others arguing it is a commentary on the breakdown of a toxic relationship. The music video for the song, directed by fashion photographer Steven Klein, features a mix of religious and sexual imagery, further adding to the complex interpretation of the song. Despite the varied opinions on the meaning behind the song, "Alejandro" remains a popular and powerful track in Lady Gaga’s discography.

Damn man it's really good. You should make a full version of it.

YESS we need this. You don't have to add the full lengths of the songs (cause that might ruin the mashup), but it'd be nice to have a longer version
