Why some Gaga lyrics sometimes seem "bad"

​I mean Boys Boys Boys is literally a pop parody of Motley Crües Girls Girls Girls and TNT by ACDC. Do people actually expect the lyrics to not be silly?Different story is with Hair's "I just want lots of friends that invite to their parties." Anybody ever noticed that they pitched her voice up to sound like a child when she says that? I thought is quite obvious that this is just representative of Gaga's inner child being desperate for actually having friends? And as her voice gradually changes in the bridge the lyrics become less silly especially during "It's all the glory that I bear." lyric.

​ That is what I always thought too. She was obviously speaking in the point of view of either her inner child or one of her teenage fans. People at that age do really say things like that.

She even said herself. She makes different songs, with different themes. Often said that sometimes you have to put the bad and serious things aside and have some fun. If she made a song about going out and having fun, I don't expect her to write some super serious and complex lyrics lol. She writes how she writes, and the best and most important part is that she writes it herself.

Mjh, donatella, swine, Jewels N' Drugs,  guy, gypsy ugh so many songs. The only songs with good lyrica are do what u want, s-x dreams, ARTPOP and fashion.

​But i mean examples of specific lyrics, and why you think they are bad.

Are you seriously comparing "Walk down the runway but don't puke, it's ok I just had a salad today" to the works of Picasso?

​I never said that.

​No is not impossible. And i did not even meant that. But give me example her "not said well" lyrics.

Neptune
Go
Now serve Pluto
Saturn
Jupiter
Mercury, Venus - uh ha!
Uranus!
Don’t you know my ass is famous?
Mars
Now serve for the gods
Earth, serve for the stars!


Love me, love me, please retweet

 

The entirety of Jewels N Drugs

 

You're just an animal, trying to act real special (but deep down you are just a shrew)


Walk down the runway but don’t puke (it’s okay)
You just had a salad today, Boulangerie
Just ask your gay friends their advice, before you
Get a spray tan on holiday, in Taipei

 


I know that Mom and Dad think I'm a mess
But it's alright, because
I am rich as piss

 

I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying, "is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here


I've overheard your theory "Nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read
One second I'm a Koons, then suddenly the Koons is me

Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~

​That's rock'n'roll love, i found it pretty cool how she sang it. 

In general Gaga is a good writer, she has many songs with clever lyrics: Marry the Night, Applause, Bad Romance, Poker Face, TEOG, Beautiful, Dirty Rich ( so ironic ), Paper Gangsta, Venus is very Bowie, Americano, Scheiße - feminist lyrics packed in electro song.

In the end Gagas songs are dance pop but have personality and also often a meaning and cool metaphors.

Last night damn you were in my s-x dreams

you were in my

doing really nasty things

you were in my dreams 

damn you were in my s-x dreams

you were in my 

makin love in my s-x dreams

 

The song may be a bop but the lyrics... 

By the time you reach the end of this sentence, it'll be too late to realize I just wasted your time with a pointless sig.

Gaga is an amazing song writer. The lyrics of Speechless are absolutely genius. She tells a story, but not so directly. Her words paint a beautiful picture. The lyrics of Speechless tell us of the dysfunctional relationship with the subject. It's great. 

 

And then we have Teeth. That song is the longest and best metaphor I've ever heard. Especially when we relate it to the feat of truth. Wow. 

 

I'm over fans bringing up lyrics from boys Boys Boys and Dontella and ignoring other masterpeice. "Fans" only bringing up her worst lyrics. Smh.

​And the wrong/bad part is? I mean, she is clearly saying that she ended up being successful even though she was a mess. "Rich as piss" is just a way Gaga probably expresses herself, just like saying "rich as ****".  Kind of like when you have a conversation with friends and you describe/say thing in your own silly ways.

​She could have made the lyrics much better while also being simple.

hop on that **** like a maniac

Are you kidding? The song is lyrically ****ing amazing. She plays the role of one woman who even seems to have bipolar by the way she was thinking. The song is explains the s-xual thoughts of a bis-xual woman. Its great.
