Lady Gaga and Friends Lyrics

I know that we are young,
I understand that we are still inexperienced and figuring things out

And I know that you may love me,
I am aware that you have feelings for me

But I just can't be with you like this anymore,
However, I cannot continue in this relationship

Alejandro
Referring to the person addressed in the song

She's got both hands
The subject being discussed has her hands in her pockets

In her pocket
Referring to the pockets the subject's hands are in

And she won't look at you
The subject is avoiding eye contact

Won't look at you
Emphasizing the subject's lack of engagement

She hides true love
The subject conceals her true emotions

En su bolsillo
Spanish for 'in her pocket'

She got a halo around her finger
The subject wears a ring on her finger, possibly signifying her connection to someone else

Around you
The halo is symbolic of the subject's influence over the person being addressed

You know that I love you boy
The singer professes her love to the person being addressed

Hot like Mexico, rejoice
The love between the singer and the person being addressed is passionate like the heat of Mexico

At this point I gotta choose
The singer must make a decision about the relationship

Nothing to lose
There is no need to be cautious - the artist has nothing to lose in this situation

Don't call my name
The artist does not wish to be addressed by a certain name

I'm not your babe
The singer rejects the label of being a romantic partner to the person being addressed

Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
The singer does not wish to engage in physical contact

Just smoke my cigarette and hush
The artist seeks solace in smoking and being quiet

Alejandro
Reiterating the name of person being addressed in the song

Stop, please,
The artist is pleading for the person being addressed to stop bothering them

Just let me go Alejandro,
The singer is requesting the person being addressed to let them go

Just let me go
Reiterating the artist's desire for freedom

She's not broken
The subject being discussed is not emotionally damaged

She's just a baby
The subject being discussed lacks emotional maturity

But her boyfriend's like a dad, just like a dad
The subject's partner is controlling, possibly like a parent

And all those flames that burned before him
The subject has experienced heartbreak and failed relationships in the past

Now he's gonna fire fight, gotta cool the bad
The subject's partner is now attempting to rectify their mistakes and fix the relationship

Don't bother me,
The singer is annoyed and does not wish to be bothered

bye, Fernando
The singer is saying goodbye to someone named Fernando

Just smoke my cigarette and hush
The artist finds comfort and distraction in smoking and being quiet

Alejandro
