Edonis 28,284 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I thought Sinner's Prayer was told in the perspective of Papa Joe? And the second verse about the sister is Joanne herself. Hence why in the Fame booklet, Gaga mentions marrying someone that joanne would have liked. Maybe I interpreted it some other way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is saying that she doesn't want to break the heart of any other man BUT you (somebody). Isn't she wishing bad things for that particular man? When I hear this song I imagine she saying, "I know I am wrong for wishing bad things, I'm not a bad person, but I pray this man gets what he deserves, I can't help feeling this way" or something like that. I always think of the guy who raped her. I don't think she would wish bad things to happen with Taylor. I am not native in english, I could be reading the sense of the chorus in a wrong way. I see what you're saying I interpreted the "I don't want to break the heart of any other man but you" as "I love you so much that I only want to break your heart and not anyone else". The act of breaking someone's heart is deeply intimate -- it ties you with that person forever because they'll remember you for the rest of the life. I don't even know if that makes sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting perspective -- but is it still Joe in the chorus saying "And I don't wanna break the heart of any other man, But you"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true. Maybe that's Joanne singing baby to him? Idk I'm probably reaching but I always thought it was kind of like a dialogue between the two to me?

The ending of a relationship, including all the heartache, is still part of the relationship. Even if it's over, Gags doesn't long for a relationship with any other man. He's the only one for ha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gaga's just highlighting that there are similarities between women's lives as they experience failing romances. Women try so hard for their men only to get **** on. Not all women of course, but it's a classic tale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
