But then I trip over myself and I fall, I

And then I'm OK
But then you print some shit that makes me want to scream

So do what you want, what you want with my body
Do what you want, don't stop, let's party
Do what you want, what you want with my body
Do what you want, what you want with my body

Write what you want, say what you want 'bout me
If you're wondering, know that I'm not sorry
Do what you want, what you want with my body
What you want with my body

You can't have my heart and you won't use my mind but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
You can't stop my voice 'cause
You don't own my life but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body

My bones hurt from all the show hmm
But I don't feel the pain 'cause I'm a pro I
I sink in and then I'm okay eh,
'Cause my body belongs to you when I'm on stage eh

So do what you want, what you want with my body
Do what you want, don't stop, let's party
Do what you want, what you want with my body
Do what you want, what you want with my body

Write what you want, say what you want 'bout me
If you're wondering, know that I'm not sorry
Do what you want, what you want with my body
What you want with my body!

You can't have my heart and
You won't use my mind but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
You can't stop my voice 'cause

Sometimes I'm scared I suppose
If you ever let me go
I would fall apart (apart)
If you break my heart
So just take my body
And don't stop the party (ayy)

You can't have my heart
And you won't use my mind but

Overall Meaning

The song "Do What U Want" is a collaboration between Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga. The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as a response to the media's relentless scrutiny of celebrities, their personal lives, and their bodies. The repeated line "Do what you want with my body" seems to reflect the idea that the media and the public feel entitled to do whatever they want with a celebrity's body and image, without any regard for their feelings or consent.


The lyrics also suggest that the artists are willing to tolerate this treatment to some extent, as they continue to perform and be in the public eye. The lines "My bones hurt from all the show but I don't feel the pain 'cause I'm a pro" and "Sometimes I'm scared I suppose, if you ever let me go I would fall apart (apart)" imply that there is a certain amount of pressure and fear associated with being in the public eye, but that the artists feel compelled to continue and put on a show.


Overall, the song can be seen as a commentary on the objectification of celebrities and the power dynamics at play in the music industry.

I love their voices together. Especially during the chorus when they're layered on top of each other. Neither one is outdoing the other. They both complement each other so well.

@Alyssa-dk1od

So true

@drcommondrate12

They are both talents and can TRULY sing unlike the other pop girlies

@trashking471
