NO WAY
Lady Gaga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw a shadow, and I knew that it wasn't mine
You and her, I know that you are intertwined
Even though, her clothes were on and everything
Your eyes were somewhere else and you were both to blame

Don't say a word, I'm sure that it won't be enough
To erase what I know just happens now what dreams are made of
This is my house and I won't allow that disrespect
Baby don't look at me like that, I don't belong to you (runaway)

'Cause baby now that you got caught what am I suposed to say
When it's so wrong what you did but I still feel this way
I can't believe it, oh forget it, what I saw today
And if you're wondering if
I'm staying the answer is no way
No way-ay-ay-ay
No way-ay-ay-ay (I can't believe it babe)
No way-ay ay ay ee ay ee ay ee ay (no way)

And then I saw something I know did not belong to me
But then I thought there's no way you would do that to me
And then last week, When you went aside to use your phone
I felt a chill but told myself that it was from the cold
And I just woke up, but I wish that it was a nightmare
'Cause when I have those, it isn't real like this one is
This is my heart, and I won't allow that disrespect
Baby don't look at me like that, I don't belong to you (runaway)

'Cause baby now that you got caught what am I suposed to say
When it's so wrong what you did but I still feel this way
I can't believe it, oh forget it, what I saw today
And if you're wondering if
I'm staying answer is no way
No way ay-ay-ay
No way ay-ay-ay (I can't believe it babe)
No way ay-ay-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay (no way)

Then put your things and go
You can take the dinner leftover from last night
I made you your favorite goodbye

'Cause baby now that you got caught what am I suposed to say
When it's so wrong what you did but I still feel this way
I can't believe it, oh forget it, what I saw today
And if you're wondering if
I'm staying the answer is no way
No way ay-ay-ay
No way ay-ay-ay (I can't believe it babe)
No way ay-ay-ay ee ay ee ay ee ay (no way)





Ehhh- ehhh- ohhhh- noooo way
No way
