Hair Body Face
Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hair, body, face
Your friends are in the other room
Heard every cruel thing they said
They're all just trying to be cool
So I wrote this song in my head
I'm not mad as long as I am perfect in your eyes, your eyes
As long as I am perfect in your eyes, your eyes
'Cause baby when I look at you
I just don't know what to do with you
A man loves a triple threat
Did the party room just see that?
Hair, body, face, for you, triple threat, do it, for ya
Hair, body, face, for you, triple threat
Tryin' to leave here, but you won't let me leave
Sayin' that if I care what they think, I'll never succeed
I won't leave here, if you promise to me
I've got my hair, body, face (face)
Hair, body, face for you
(Hair, body, face, for you, triple threat, do it, for ya)
For you (hair, body, face, for you, triple threat)
Wasn't the it girl at school (not me)
No, I wasn't queen of the prom
But don't take me for a fool
Now I know I've got my own charm
I'm not mad as long as I am perfect in your eyes, your eyes
Doesn't make a difference, yeah
As long as I am perfect in your eyes, your eyes
'Cause baby when I look at you
I just don't know what to do with you
A man loves a triple threat
Did the party room just see that?
Tryin' to leave here, but you won't let me leave
Sayin' that if I care what they think, I'll never succeed
I won't leave here, if you promise to me
I've got my hair, body, face (face)
Hair, body, face for you
(Hair, body, face, for you, triple threat, do it, for ya)
For you (hair, body, face, for you, triple threat, do it, for ya)
Everything is all right
When you look in my eyes
You lift me when I feel small
Triple threat, I've got it all
Everything is alright
When you look in my eyes
You lift me when I feel small
(Hair, body, face)
Tryin' to leave here, but you won't let me leave
Sayin' that if I care what they think, I'll never succeed
I won't leave here, if you promise to me
I've got my hair, body, face (face)
Hair, body, face for you
(Hair, body, face, for you, triple threat, do it, for ya)
For you (hair, body, face, for you, triple threat, do it, for ya)
For you (hair, body, face, for you, triple threat, do it, for ya)
For you (hair, body, face, for you)
Hair, body, face, for you
The song "Hair Body Face" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper is all about the pressure that society puts on people to look perfect. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer's friends are in another room making cruel comments about her, but she is more concerned with the way her significant other perceives her. She sings, "I'm not mad as long as I am perfect in your eyes". She knows that her partner is looking for a "triple threat", someone with great hair, body, and face, and she wants to be all of those things for him.
In the chorus, the singer tries to leave the party, but her partner won't let her go because he knows how important it is for her to be seen as perfect. She sings, "I won't leave here, if you promise to me/I've got my hair, body, face for you". The song ultimately promotes self-confidence and accepting oneself for who they are, despite societal pressures to be perfect.
