Out of Control
Lady Gaga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey babe,
I'm feelin' something kinda crazy.
I know that we got something special, boy.
But lately I've been feelin' naughtier,
Than usual
(You see I)

I need a love thats crazy don't you see?
I'm looking for someone that can handle me.
Need a fire so hot that it burns me so.
I'm sorry when I mention that I did not know.
You and me were kind of in complete.
Need someone to say they love me.

Give it up
Put it up
Not enough
Not enough
Not enough
I need it

Out of control
Give it up just let your body
Out of control,
Give it up just let your body
Out of control,
Give it up just let your body
Out of control,
Give it up just let your body
Out of control,
Give it up just let your body
Out of control,
Give it up just let your body
Out of control,
Give it up just let your body
Out of control,
Give it up just let your body
Out of control,

Overall Meaning

In Lady Gaga's song "Out of Control", she sings about feeling a strong desire for a wild and crazy love. She confesses that although she knows she has something special with her partner, she feels increasingly naughty and in need of something more intense. Gaga longs to find someone who can handle her and a love that is fiery and all-consuming. The repeated refrain of "Give it up, just let your body out of control" suggests that she wants to let go completely and lose herself in her desire for passion and intensity.


The lyrics of "Out of Control" seem to be emphasizing the need for sexual freedom and the desire to be fully consumed by a partner. Lady Gaga is known for her provocative style and this track is no exception. It's a bold statement about the human desire for intense physical connection and the perceived limitations placed on it by societal norms. At the same time, however, the song also seems to be about the difficulty of finding someone who can match that level of passion and intensity. Gaga realizes that she and her partner are not entirely compatible and she is searching for someone who can give her what she really wants.


Overall, "Out of Control" is a song that captures the longing for a deep, fiery love that can consume us and take us to new heights of passion. It's also a song that acknowledges the challenges of finding a partner who can truly match us in intensity and desire.

@modficado

the new part you added in the second verse was insanely good đŸ˜źâ™« 1:06

@jxyden8380

The fact she never released this is a crime

@Simonpumpernickel

So you’re suggesting we punish her? I agree. Jail
 until the official is released

@HeppiHeppiCatRBX

​@@SimonpumpernickelClearly the joke/expression flew right over your head

@Simonpumpernickel

@@HeppiHeppiCatRBX no it didn’t stupid
 I’m joking too
 how about you just delete your comment and shut the fuck up.. cuz you’re the idiot here

@earlaweese

@@SimonpumpernickelShe’s been overdue for prison. The disrespect towards the audience for not performing “I Like It Rough”. She’s also flipped off the audience various times.

@earlaweese

@@jxyden8380 I FUCKING HATE LADY GAGA. I’m so happy that her career is practically finished since the biggest flop/failure in history, “Joanne”. Let’s be real: Gaga went from being an international pop star/superstar to being a European/East Asian pop star
 to being a local singer in the U.K., Australia, and the U.S. — just like that “hasbeen before having even been” wannabe, Sabrina CarpetWHORE. “I’m working late
 ‘cause I’m a swinger
” NO, BITCH. YOU’RE WORKING LATE ‘CAUSE YOU’RE FUCKING BROKE AND A SLAVE TO YOUR FUCKING RECORD LABEL AFTER ALL THEM DAMN LOANS THEY GAVE YOU AND ALL THE FLOPS YOU DELIVERED. DO BETTER!!!!!!!!!!

@josecruz-hk9vw
