Gaga's five succeeding studio albums all debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Her second full-length album, Born This Way (2011), explored electronic rock and techno-pop and sold more than one million copies in its first week. The title track became the fastest-selling song on the iTunes Store, with over one million downloads in less than a week. Following her EDM-influenced third album, Artpop (2013), and its lead single "Applause", Gaga released the jazz album Cheek to Cheek (2014) with Tony Bennett, and the soft rock album Joanne (2016). She ventured into acting, winning awards for her leading roles in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel (2015–2016) and the musical film A Star Is Born (2018). Her contributions to the latter's soundtrack, which spawned the chart-topping single "Shallow", made her the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award and Grammy Award in one year. Gaga returned to dance-pop with her sixth studio album, Chromatica (2020), which yielded the number-one single "Rain on Me". She followed this with her second collaborative album with Bennett, Love for Sale, and a starring role in the biopic House of Gucci, both in 2021.
Having sold an estimated 170 million records, Gaga is one of the world's best-selling music artists and the only female artist to achieve four singles that each sold at least 10 million copies globally. Her accolades include 13 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, 18 MTV Video Music Awards, awards from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and recognition as Billboard's Artist of the Year (2010) and Woman of the Year (2015). She has also been included in several Forbes' power rankings and ranked fourth on VH1's Greatest Women in Music (2012). Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2010 and 2019 and placed her on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list. Her philanthropy and activism focus on mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights; she has her own non-profit organization, the Born This Way Foundation, which supports the wellness of young people. Gaga's business ventures include Haus Labs, a vegan cosmetics brand launched in 2019.
Speechless Your Song
Lady Gaga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but, but then again, no
Or a woman who makes potions on a traveling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is, now you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
It's yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is, now you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is, now you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in the world
The lyrics to Lady Gaga's song "Your Song" are a heartfelt tribute to someone special in her life. She opens the song with the confession of a tender feeling that she finds difficult to hide. She candidly admits that although she lacks wealth, she would love to afford a big house where they could live together. She then goes on to use the metaphor of her humble gifts as an artist, as she claims her profession as a singer-songwriter. Lady Gaga acknowledges that her present work might not be much, but it is the only thing she can offer the person she's singing to. The chorus is an invitation to her special someone to embrace the song, call it their own and use it as a reminder of how wonderful life is with them in it.
Lady Gaga's second verse features her talking about the process of creating the song. She shares a moment of contemplation as she sits atop a roof, taking in the environment before revealing that this song was written specially for that one person. She further acknowledges that the song may not be perfect, but it is simple and sincere in its sentiment. She ends the song by restating the love she has for that special someone and the joy they bring to her world.
Overall, "Your Song" is a touching dedication to someone who Lady Gaga cherishes deeply. The song is a reminder that the most precious gifts in life are not always the most expensive or elaborate ones, but the simplest expressions of love and admiration. It is a beautiful celebration of love and connection between two people.

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
The feeling of love is odd and peculiar
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I am an open book and cannot hide my feelings easily
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
Even though I don't have much money, I wish I had more
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
I would love a home where we could live together
If I was a sculptor, but, but then again, no
I may not be an artist, but I have a gift of my own
Or a woman who makes potions on a traveling show
I may not be a magician, but I have something precious to offer
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
I may not have everything, but I am doing the best with what I have
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
My talent is my music and this song is my gift to you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
This song is dedicated to you
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
This song may not be grand, but it's complete
I hope you don't mind
I hope you won't be offended
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is, now you're in the world
I am grateful for your presence in my life, and it has made living remarkable
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
I took some time to contemplate this song
Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
Some parts of the song were a bit challenging to write
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
The good moments outweighed the difficult ones while making this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
This song is for wonderful individuals like you that keep me motivated
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
Please forgive me for occasional missteps
You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
I may have forgotten specific details, but the overall picture of your beauty remains in my mind
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Regardless of my forgetfulness, what matters is my profound love for you
It's yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
Your eyes remain the most beautiful thing I have ever seen

"Take my picture Hollywood I wanna he a star"
God, this takes me back. I remember buying Lady Gaga's first album, didn't take much persuading from my mum. So sitting at my computer (being the internet generation, I would never leave). I replayed this until it was etched in my heart. Thank you Lady for not giving up and being kind enough to give us songs over the years and keeping me company, making me feel a little less lonely. And for reintroducing me to Elton's magical voice. What a joy to hear you ❤
