My mama told me when I was hatched: “Act like a superstar.”
“Save your allowance, buy a bubble dress and someday you will go far.”
Now on red carpets, well, I’m hard to miss. The press follows everywhere I go
I’ll poke your eye out with a dress like this
Back off and enjoy the show!
I’m sure my critics will say: “it’s a grotesque display”
Well, they can bite me, baby: I perform this way
I might be wearin’ Swiss cheese or maybe covered with bees
It doesn’t mean I’m crazy: I perform this way
Ooh, my little monsters pay lots ’cause I perform this way
Baby, I perform this way
Ooh, don’t worry, I’m okay Hey, I just perform this way
I’m not crazy: I perform this way
I’ll be a troll or evil queen I’ll be a human jelly bean
’cause every day is Halloween for me
I’m so completely original: my new look is all the rage
I’ll wrap my small intestines ’round my neck and set fire to myself on stage
I’ll wear a porcupine on my head on a W-H-I-M
Hey—hey—hey
And for no reason now I’ll sing in French: Excusez-moi, Qui a pété?
Got my straight jacket today It’s made of gold lamé
No, not because I’m crazy: I perform this way
I strap prime rib to my feet, cover myself with raw meat
I’ll bet you’ve never seen a skirt steak worn this way
Don’t be offended when you see my latest pop monstrosity
I’m strange, weird, shocking, odd, bizarre I’m Frankenstein, I’m Avatar
There’s nothing too embarrassing: I’ll honestly do anything
But wear white after Labor Day ’cause baby—
Hope you won’t think it’s cliché if I go nude today
Don’t call the cops now, baby I perform this way
No reason I should regret all the attention I get
I’m not completely crazy: I perform this way, yeah
I perform this way-hey I perform this way-hey
I’m always deviating from the norm this way-hey
I perform this way-hey I perform this way-hey
I’m really not insane: I just perform this way-hey
