Born This Way
The Baseballs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled her hair and put her lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are
She said, 'cause He made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up, boy and you you'll go far

Listen to me when I say

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way,

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice of truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M
I love my life, I love this record and
Baby I'm more than I am

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

(music)

Born this way

Born this way (ooo Born this way)
Born this way
Born this way
Born this way
Born this way
Born this way
Born this way
Born this way
Born this way
Born this way
etc.

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Overall Meaning

The Baseballs' song "Born This Way" is an uplifting anthem about accepting ourselves just the way we are because we are all born unique and special. The first verse opens with the singer recalling their mother's words when they were young, telling them that everyone is born a superstar. The mother's confidence and beauty is also highlighted as she puts on her makeup in her boudoir. The chorus reinforces the idea that there is nothing wrong with being who you are because God made us perfect. We should be proud of ourselves and listen to our inner voices that tell us we are beautiful just the way we are. We should not hide or regret our true selves, but love ourselves and embrace who we are.

The second verse encourages the listener to surround themselves with friends and to be true to themselves in spite of societal pressures and expectations. The lyrics encourage people to accept themselves completely, even if they have different loves or beliefs. The capital H-I-M in the song could refer to God, reminding us that no one should judge us for who we love or what we believe. The chorus repeats the message that we should embrace who we are and not let fear or shame hold us back. The end of the song repeats the refrain "Born This Way" as a celebration of our unique identities and the idea that we were all born this way, exactly as we were meant to be.

Overall, the song is a powerful celebration of self-acceptance and self-love. It encourages people to embrace who they truly are and not hide or regret any part of themselves. The lyrics are simple and catchy, making the message accessible and memorable to listeners of all ages and backgrounds.

My mama told me when I was young
Mother shared wisdom of age

We are all born superstars
Everyone is born exceptional

She rolled her hair and put her lipstick on
Prepared herself for the day

In the glass of her boudoir
In the mirror of her room

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are
Loving oneself is right

She said, 'cause He made you perfect, babe
Gave comfort as a divine creation

So hold your head up, boy and you you'll go far
Be confident to succeed

Listen to me when I say
Hear wisdom of experience

I'm beautiful in my way
Recognize unique beauty

'Cause God makes no mistakes
Believe divine perfection

I'm on the right track, baby
Following the path of destiny
