NO WAY
♪Lady Gaga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I knew that it wasn't mine
You and her, I know that you were intertwined
Even though her clothes were on and everything
Your eyes were somewhere else and you were both
To blame
Be enough
To erase what I know
Just happens now what dreams are made of
This is my house and I won't allow the disrespect
Baby don't look at me like that, I don't belong to you
Cause baby now that your caught what am I supposed to say?
When you're so wrong in what you did
But I still feel this way
I can't believe it or forget it, what I saw that day
And if you're wonderin' if I'm staying
The answer is no way
No way ay-ay-ay
No way ay-ay-ay
No way ay-ay-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay
And then I saw something I know did not belong to me
But then I thought there was no way you would do that to me
And then last week when you went outside to use your phone
I felt a chill but told myself that it was from the cold
And I just woke up but I wish that it was a nightmare
'Cause when I have those it isn't real like this one is
This is my heart and I won't allow the disrespect
Baby don't look at me like that, I don't belong to you
'Cause baby now that you're caught what am I supposed to say
When you're so wrong in what you did
But I still feel this way
I can't believe it or forget it, what I saw today
And if you're wonderin' if I'm staying
The answer is no way
No way-ay-ay-ay
No way-ay-ay-ay
No way-ay-ay-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay
Get your things and go
You can take the dinner leftover from last night
I made you your favorite goodbye
'Cause baby now that you're caught what am I supposed to say
When you're so wrong in what you did
But I still feel this way
I can't believe it or forget it, what I saw today
And if you're wonderin' if I'm staying
The answer is no way
No way-ay-ay-ay
No way-ay-ay-ay
No way-ay-ay-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay
Ehh-heeeeeeyyyyyy-ohhhhhhhh-noo way
No way
The song "No Way" by Lady Gaga tells the story of a woman who catches her partner cheating on her with another woman. The singer sees a shadow that she knows is not hers and realizes that her partner is involved with someone else. Even though the other woman is fully clothed, the singer can tell that there is something going on between them. The singer is hurt by her partner's betrayal and cannot erase what she saw. She decides that she will not tolerate being disrespected and tells her partner that she does not belong to him. Despite still feeling the love for her partner, she ultimately decides that she cannot stay with someone who cheated on her.
The song explores the various emotions that someone may feel when they discover their partner cheated on them. The initial shock and disbelief can turn into anger and hurt, and ultimately the decision to leave can be difficult but necessary. The chorus of "No Way" is a declaration from the singer that she will not stay with her partner after being betrayed, no matter how much she may still have feelings for him.

I saw a shadow, and I knew that it wasn't mine
I noticed something suspicious, and I knew it didn't relate to me
You and her, I know that you were intertwined
I know that you and another person were intimate
Even though her clothes were on and everything
Even though she wasn't naked
Your eyes were somewhere else and you were both to blame
You weren't paying attention to the situation and you're both responsible for what happened
Don't say a word, I'm sure that it won't be enough, to erase what I know
Don't try to deny what I know, it won't make it go away
Just happens now what dreams are made of
This scenario that's happening now is something you'd only expect to experience in a nightmare
This is my house and I won't allow the disrespect
I won't tolerate this lack of respect in my own home
Baby don't look at me like that, I don't belong to you
I don't owe you anything and you have no right to look at me that way
Cause baby now that your caught what am I supposed to say?
Now that you've been caught, what am I supposed to say to you?
When you're so wrong in what you did
You were completely in the wrong for your actions
But I still feel this way
Despite your actions, I still have strong feelings for you
I can't believe it or forget it, what I saw that day
I can't get over what I saw, and it's difficult to forget
And if you're wonderin' if I'm staying
In case you're curious, I'm definitely leaving
Get your things and go
You need to leave now
You can take the dinner leftover from last night
You can take the food I made you as a peace offering, but that's all
I made you your favorite goodbye
This is my way of saying goodbye, by giving you something you like
Ehh-heeeeeeyyyyyy-ohhhhhhhh-noo way
This is the sound I make to express 'no way'
No way ay-ay-ay, No way ay-ay-ay, No way ay-ay-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay
This is my way of firmly saying 'no way'
