Born This Way
Lady Gaga瀀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up 'cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars

She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"
She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way (Born this way)

Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Right track baby I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be don't be don't be

Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
So we can rejoice your truth

In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe, yah

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Right track, baby I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're Orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby you were born this way

No matter gay, straight, or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" are a powerful message of acceptance and self-love. Gaga begins by acknowledging that love comes in many forms, whether it be for a man or for a higher power. However, regardless of who or what one loves, the central message is to be proud of who you are and hold your head high. Gaga then reflects on her upbringing and how her mother encouraged her to embrace her individuality, telling her that being different is not a flaw but rather a unique trait that makes her perfect.


The chorus reaffirms this message and encourages listeners to embrace themselves as they are, rather than hiding in regret or conforming to societal pressures. The second verse reinforces this message of self-love and acceptance, urging listeners to surround themselves with positive friends who support and celebrate their authentic selves. Gaga also explores the idea that society can be oppressive and make individuals feel insecure or outcast, but encourages them to rise above and embrace their truth. The final chorus is a call to action, reminding listeners that they were born to be brave and that being themselves is the right path forward.

I am Japanese. I am currently looking for a job and have received rejections from many companies. I listened to "Born This Way" when I was dying because I didn't seem to be needed by society. GaGa, your message really encouraged me. Believe in myself and do my best.
