Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can be cool (If you just wanna be mad)
I can be anything , I'll be your everything
Just touch me baby (I don't wanna be sad)
As long as I'm your hooker (Back up and turn around)
As long as I'm your hooker (Put your hands on the ground)
As long as I'm your hooker (Get down)

'Cause I know you love me baby

I could be girl (Unless you want to be man)
I could be sex (Unless you want to hold hands)
I could be anything, I could be everything

Lady Gaga's song Government Hooker is a sexually charged and politically charged song that explores themes of power, control, and submission. Throughout the song, Gaga plays with the idea of being a prostitute or hooker, using it as a metaphor for being willing to do anything to please someone else. The lyrics "I can be good (if you just wanna be bad)" and "I could be anything, I'll be your everything" suggest that Gaga is willing to be a submissive partner who will do anything her lover desires, even if it goes against her own desires.
The chorus, "As long as I'm your hooker, back up and turn around," emphasizes the power dynamic in the relationship, with Gaga positioning herself as the submissive partner. The use of the word "hooker" also implies a sense of exchange or transaction, suggesting that the relationship is one of give and take. The repeated phrases "hooker" and "government hooker" are also significant, as they suggest a connection between sex work and politics.
The reference to John F. Kennedy in the line "put your hands on me, John F. Kennedy" adds another layer of meaning to the song, as JFK was known for his affairs with women, including Marilyn Monroe. The use of his name suggests a desire for power and control over a powerful man, and also implies a willingness to compromise oneself for the sake of pleasure or power.
Overall, Lady Gaga's Government Hooker is a provocative and challenging song that challenges traditional gender norms and explores themes of power and submission.

Fun fact: the male voice in the background is from Lady Gagaโs Bodyguard Peter Van De Vaan. Gaga liked his Dutch accent thatโs why she used his voice.
