Can I ask you a question?

Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room

And every single one of your friends was makin' fun of you

But fifteen seconds later, they were clappin' too?

Then what did you do?

It's so weirdly specific and overly dramatic :emma:

How is it that I was listening to the song and as soon as I saw this the chorus happened

So say hello to falsetto in three, two

I really can't understand how much hate this line got. I think it makes sense. Maybe because I translate it automatically to portuguese and it might sound weird for english native speakers (?) but that's not that bad at all. I also love Deja Vu the song! One of my favorites off Witness

"Ask your gay friends their advice before you get a spray tan on holiday in Taipei" - Gags, what even? :lmao: What overly specific personal account is she referring to? Did this happen when she had that super deep tan back in the Fame days? *shade* :giggle:

"Shaking my ass is the only thing that's got this black narcissist off my back." - I think Lana's making a Black Narcissus reference but I don't get it in this sentence context.

"Lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains" - Shakira's first foray into English songs produced weird moments like this as she was maybe referencing a regional saying that didn't translate.

"I'm all about that bass, bout that bass, no treble." - I didn't even notice how odd this was until ToddInTheShadows pointed out saying that if her ass is the bass, then what's the treble? She never says! He wonders if it means she isn't busty but that's not true, so what is this mysterious treble?

Are you referring to "Walk down the runway but don't puke, it's ok, you only had a salad today, boulangerie"? She puts that word at the end as if it's a way of saying "darling" when it actually is a bakery! :toofunny:

'I'm not nothing unless I know I can'

So, Gaga, are you implying that believing in yourself means you're nothing?  :interestinga:

Actually I've never really understood this lyric...

I interpret it in the way that: "If I know I can (do something) then I'm not "nothing" , right?

I read this as:

I'm nothing unless I know I can. False.

Little late, but I always heard this line like Fresco.

Like, people will try to be encouraging and say, "you're nothing unless you know you can achieve your goals," but Gaga says, "I'm NOT 'nothing unless I know I can [achieve].'"

Even when you don't have a steady hand, you don't think you can keep going, you don't have a partner to lean on...even then, you're not "nothing." You're still something, someone who fought and danced and cried.

Would you love me if I ruled the world?

It's probably a reference to Tara, her old make-up artist. A few weeks after they went to Taipei for the Born This Way Ball, they had were teasing eachother about spray-tans on Twitter:

Yesterday I realized that the backup singers in the Monster Mash, who I thought were just singing "wah wah ooh wah wah ooh waaooooo" are actually singing "tennis shoe tennis shoe waaoooooo" :koons:
