Fun Tonight
Lady Gaga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling something that I can't explain
Think it's a wound I still entertain
I'd do anything to numb the flame
I guess I'm just on fire these days
I can't see straight, I can't see me
There's too much hurt caught in between
Wish I could be what I know I am
This moment's hijacked my plans

I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling, I'm feeling with you
I stare at the girl in the mirror, she talks to me too

Yeah, I can see it in your face
You don't think I've pulled my weight
Maybe it's time for us to say goodbye 'cause
I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling, I'm feeling with you
I'm not having fun tonight

You love the paparazzi, love the fame
Even though you know it causes me pain
I feel like I'm in a prison hell
Stick my hands through the steels bars and yell

What happens now
I'm not okay
And if I scream, you walk away
When I'm sad, you just wanna play
I've had enough
Why do I stay?

I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling, I'm feeling with you
I stare at the girl in the mirror, she talks to me too

Yeah, I can see it in your face
You don't think I've pulled my weight
Maybe it's time for us to say goodbye 'cause
I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling, I'm feeling with you
I'm not having fun tonight

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I'm not having fun tonight
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I'm not having fun tonight

Yeah, I can see it in your face
You don't think I've pulled my weight
Maybe, its time for us to say goodbye 'cause




I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling, I'm feeling with you
I'm not having fun tonight

Overall Meaning

Lady Gaga's song "Fun Tonight" explores the struggles that come with fame and the toll it can take on someone’s mental health. The verses depict a deep emotional pain that the singer is experiencing, which she compares to a wound that she can't explain. She wishes to numb the pain but recognizes that it's getting worse every day. She's trapped and can't get out of her own head. In the chorus, she talks about how she's feeling with her partner; something is off, and she's not having a good time, despite the glamorous lifestyle that she leads. There's an underlying feeling of sadness and disappointment with the relationship. The line, "You love the paparazzi, love the fame, Even though you know it causes me pain," suggests that her partner is more interested in the fame than their relationship.


Lady Gaga also refers to feeling like she is trapped in a hellish prison, and this sensation becomes more profound in the second verse. She tries to get her partner's attention and express her anguish, but they either ignore her or turn it into playfulness. Gaga knows she has to leave the relationship, but it's not that easy. In the bridge, she repeats the line "I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling, I'm feeling with you," emphasizing the connection she shares with her partner. The track "Fun Tonight" is a heartfelt song filled with raw and honest emotions that Lady Gaga has managed to capture through her lyrics and delivery.
