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

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

If you break my heart
So just take my body
And don't stop the party (ayy)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lady Gaga's "Do What U Want" ft. R. Kelly depict the singer's feelings towards the press and media, which have often criticized her public image and personal life. Gaga expresses her frustration with tabloid journalism and the negative portrayals of her in the media, but also acknowledges her willingness to allow others to use her body for their own entertainment. The song has been interpreted as a commentary on society's objectification and commodification of women's bodies, particularly in the entertainment industry.


The chorus, "Do what you want, what you want with my body," can be seen as a nod to the systemic objectification of women, as well as a message of empowerment for women to take control of their own bodies and sexuality. Meanwhile, the lines "You can't have my heart and you won't use my mind" suggest that Gaga is aware of the potential harm caused by allowing others to use her body, but she is still willing to do so to further her career.


Overall, "Do What U Want" is a complex song that can be interpreted in a variety of ways. While some see it as a feminist anthem about sexual empowerment, others view it as problematic due to R. Kelly's involvement on the track and his history of sexual abuse allegations.

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

​@@drcommondrate12
what's up with you toxic people putting down women to lift other women up? Just day they're talented pop singers without saying other pop signers are bad 💀

@borntoclimb7116

Agree, the singers are great

@renepantoja3663

Originally, it's Fame Monster meets Pied Piper. But now, as of 2019, it's Fame Monster meets Disney Legend.
