Lady GaGa very quietly released her debut album “The Fame” as 2008 came to a close. Promotion was minimal and hardly anyone noticed or cared. Then somebody got a hold of “Just Dance.” Almost overnight, GaGa became an electro/dance-pop sensation and her slick, electronic beats, gourmet lyrics and stellar vocals made “The Fame” the album of the year for the majority of the American public.

That boy is bad
And honestly
He's a wolf in disguise
But I can't stop staring in those evil eyes

I asked my girlfriend if she'd seen you round before
She mumbled something while we got down on the floor baby
We might've fucked not really sure, don't quite recall
But something tells me that I've seen him, yeah

Just got my vamp (got my vamp)

Take a bite of my bad girl meat (bad girl meat)
Take a bit of me boy

The truth is sexy

Tell me something that’ll save me
I need a man who makes me alright (man who makes me alright)
Just tell me when it’s alright
Tell me something that’ll change me

Boy, we've had a real' good time
And I wish you the best on your way
Eh eh
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never thought we'd fall out of place
Eh eh, hey ey

I have something that I love long
But my friends keeping telling me that something's wrong
Then I met someone

And babe, there's nothing else I can say
Eh eh, eh eh
There's nothing else I can say
Eh eh, eh eh
I wish you'd never looked at me that way
Eh eh, eh eh
There's nothing else I can say
Eh eh, eh eh

Not that I don't care about you
Just that things got so complicated
Eh eh
I met somebody cute and finally got each other
And that's...

Let's have some fun,
This beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick

Let's have some fun,
This beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick

I wanna kiss you
But if I do then I might miss you babe
It's complicated and stupid

Got my ass squeezed by sexy Cupid
Guess he wants to play,
Wants to play
A love game
A love game

Hold me and love me
Just want to touch you for a minute
Baby three seconds is enough for my heart to quit

Let's have some fun,
This beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Don't think too much just bust that dick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick

Let's play a love...

Free my mind .. ARTPOP
You make my .. heart stop


Come to me, in all your glamor and groovy
Just do that thing that you do
And I'll undress you
You decide, sometimes the simplest move is right
The melody that you choose, can rescue you


A hybrid can withstand these things
My heart can beat with bricks and strings
My ARTPOP could mean anything


We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP
ARTPOP, ARTPOP, ARTPOP


Come to me, without...
