Optimist
Lady GaGa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's over,
It's over.

You're like the definition of negative
Always complainin, you're such a pessimist
Your Cup is always half empty
I'm just so sick of it
I got a different perspective

My Cup is half full
My Sky is never gray
You cant bring be down anymore baby
My future is bright
Cant wait to face the day
There's one thing you should know about me

I'm an optimist
I'm so positive
You'll never get another chance with me baby
I'm an optimist
I'm so positive
Your chances blown, boy you're gone, with your negativity.

(I'm an optimist, op-optimist, op-optimist)

You're such a downer, You're never satisfied
Lucky for me, there's always a silver line
On the horizon, so boy don't even try
Injectin me with your negative vibes

My cup is half full
My sky is never gray
You cant bring be down anymore baby
My future is bright
Can't wait to face the day
There's one thing you should know about me

I'm an optimist
I'm so positive
You'll never get another chance with me baby
I'm an optimist
I'm so positive
Your chances blown, boy you're gone, with your negativity.

I'm an optimist.
I'm spontaneous.
I need fun and excitement, ready set.
Here I come, Take the world by storm.
Grab life by the horns, While I'm still young.
And If you wanna act old, If you wanna be cold.
Hmmm, I guess but baby you should know oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm an optimist
I'm so positive
You'll never get another chance with me baby
I'm an optimist
I'm so positive
Your chances blown, boy you're gone, with your negativity.

I'm an optimist, op-optimist, op-optimist x3
I'm a--I'm a-a-I'm-a-I'm an optimist

I'm an optimist
I'm so positive
You'll never get another chance with me baby
I'm an optimist
I'm so positive
Your chances blown, boy you're gone, with your negativity.





I'm an optimist, op-optimist, op-optimist x3
I'm a--I'm a-a-I'm-a-I'm an optimist
