Wait...

In GUY she actually sings "Love me, love me, please RETWEET" ?!

GAGA :lmao: !

 

I know, I ain't really feelin that :awkney:

 

Also, I'm pretty sure there's a lyric missing (after the "perpetrate" part) for T.I.'s part in JN'D which is weird.

 

Edit: "Slap honey on a young pancake"

I LOVE the album but I have a BIG problem with it. It doesn't feel fresh. Due to the fact we had applause then heard 7 out of the 15 tracks at SwineFest THEN we had snippets and two other single releases, I don't feel like I'm actually getting to hear much new music. I've been building up to this day for 2 YEARS! and it all feels like an anti-climax. Now I know people can say "you didn't have to listen to the snippets" or any of the pre release music but COME ON thats like saying to crack addict "Hey heres some crack but I'm just going to hold it in front of your face and you can just look at it" And yes yes yes i know there just snippets but 30 seconds of a song pretty much gives you everything you need to know about it, you still get that instant reaction of hearing the hook or chords for the first time. I feel like I'm belittling the album but I'm not trying to, ITS ****ING INCREDIBLE. I just feel like i was eating the greatest meal of my life and it left a bad taste in my mouth...

I fixed some lyrics:

 

G.U.Y. -- spoken word parts

Sex Dreams -- bridge

Jewels & Drugs -- rap portion

Do What You Want -- You're the Marilyn

Swine -- 'squeal out' to 'squealer', 'be that' to 'beat that', 'shrewd' to 'shrew', others

Donatella -- 'this session' to 'this season', 'i'm going to wear designer and forget your name' in the end

Fashion! -- 'diamonds & pose' to 'diamonds & pearls', 'I am the world' --> 'I own the world'

Dope -- some verse words

Gypsy -- outro

ARTPOP -- I think the line is 'I've flown on beaches in public's eye', but I'm not sure.

Fashion! -- Couture line in the 2nd verse is wrong, don't know what she's saying. I don't know will.i.am's French either.

Mary Jane Holland -- The Apollo/ lyre line sounds weird. For 'lady of the dumb', I hear 'lady of the dame/ domme'.

 

There were some language errors (I've/I, You've/You, All/Or) that I fixed as well :yes: I'll try to help however I can :Kara:

 

Some lyric corrections to be added to the OP. These were transcribed from the booklet so they should be 95% correct. Changes are in bold:

 

Sexxx Dreams

The proper bridge is:

 

You could turn a stone or the color of

Man petrified by a woman

In love as I am when I lay with you

I think of him, I think of him

 

Jewels N' Drugs

Correct lyrics from the booklet:

 

Yeah, it's about that time, yeah

Time ta take off partna, alright

Hustle Gang, uh huh, G-D-O-G

Get your doe or die partna

Yup, let's go

 

Still bankhand shawty yeah you know what it is

Pocket full of number, rubber bands and bills

Came up from round, that's a dandiville

Fixin to do a deal about 60 mil

You ain't lived that life you perpertrate

You wasn't really trapping circling birds of yay

You ain't have to beat no murder case

Man you prob couldn't get A O of everyday

Round my way cats get murdered playing

Ain't no rules, play dirtay man

Put something through your jersey man

If your partna want some we can do it again

OK, H-U-S-T-L-E G-G-A-N-G, that way

Just pull up, pull up, hop out, hop out

All about the dolla better go and ask

Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga

 

Don't want your jewels, I want your d--gs

Don't want your money, want your love

Don't want your jewels, I want your d--gs

Want your jewels, I want your d--gs

Don't want your money want your love

 

I admit that my habit's expensive

And you may find it quite offensive

But I won't die at the hands of another

I'm your mother sister, your father brother

This family is stupid attractive

If you've surveyed the way we've acted

Keep it comin' I'm comin' around like your friend now

I think you should shut up and sit down

Don't want your jewels, I want your d--gs

Don't want your money, want your love

Don't want your jewels, I want your d--gs

Want your jewels, I want your d--gs

Don't want your money want your love

 

Airbody want that money what you want

High as hell trying to have some ****ing fun

You don't need 'em but the diamonds make it shine

Tried to kick it just can't find the time

It's the middle of the week, this ain't even the weekend

Red carpet events, every time you see pimps

It's good *** in the passenger seat

My lil' homies hang with me, I be passing 'em freaks

Jewels n' d--gs, play that hustle

Smother 'em, if you wanna be bad

Slap honey on a young pancake

We know how to make that money

 

Jewels n' d--gs, play that hustle

Smother 'em, if you wanna be bad

Ain't nothin' if it ain't family

We know how to make that money

Come and show me the gateway into your love

I feel like the money could never do it like the club

I feel like a diamond can never do it like a d--g

And I want it so come on and take it with me so that I can hit it

I can admit it, I'm influenced by desire when I approach her

I try to provoke her by giving money and jewelry and accessories

Instead of the recipe with a legacy of taking her to another place when I get it

Hold up

Twista going in warp speed breaking atoms

Blowing O.G. has got me creating anti matter

Let her pop it and smoke on it with me now

I got her because she ready to party and then move to the club

Because you know the way I think is an anomaly

And I'ma be strange as Lady Gaga

Probably

A dollar be the business

But I'd rather be in an outer dimension when I be talking about jewels n' d--gs

 

Jewels n' d--gs, play that hustle

Smother 'em, if you wanna be bad

Slap honey on a young pancake

We know how to make that money

 

Jewels n' d--gs, play that hustle

Smother 'em, if you wanna be bad

Ain't nothin' if it ain't family

We know how to make that money

 

MANiCURE

Correct chorus is:

 

I’m gun’ be MANiCURED

You wanna be MAN CURED

Ma-ma-ma-MANiCURE

She gonna be MAN CURED

 

Salon's enough for her

Not to feel so insecure

Ma-ma-ma-MANiCURED

She wanna be take care'n of

 

Do What U Want

Trivial, but the correct lyric is:

 

But then you print some sh-t

That makes me want to scream

 

ARTPOP

Delete the intro, since that's not in the studio version.

 

Keep it tight

Sometimes the simplest move is right

 

Come to me

With all your subtext and fantasy

Just do that thing that you do

In a perverse hue

 

Lovers' kites

Are flown on beaches for public site

The color palette you choose

Can profit you

 

Brushes with darkness won't help you create

Your destiny of self

 

Swine

Delete the intro, since that's not in the studio version.

 

Hush up

Don't speak, don't wanna hear another

Not another word from you

You're just an ani-mal

Tryin' to act real special

But deep down you are just a shrew

 

Be that hog

Sweat it out you squealer

Let your body jiggle

Slap her skinny

Love to watch her ass go wiggle

It's the feel of ecstasy

 

Paint your face in paint his face in

Catch the beat

Paint your face in paint her face in

Catch the beat

Paint your face in, be a swine just

For the weekend

Catch the beat

 

Donatella

In the chorus it goes:

 

All of the day

I'm the pearl to your oyster, I'm a babe

I'm gonna smoke Marlboro lights and drink champagne

I smoke Marlboro reds and drink champagne

 

And the refrain goes:

 

Check it out, take it in

Who's that b---h? She's so thin

She’s so rich, and so blond

She’s so fab, it’s beyond

 

Fashion!

There's a life on Mars where the couture is beyond, beyond

 

Mary Jane Holland

Lady of the

'Dam won't be a slave to the blonde

Or the culture of the popular (She won't, she won't)

Sing at you, I'll fly under radar tonight

Make deals with every devil in sight (I will, I will)

Thanks dear! Do you know the French part of Fashion! and the lyre part of Mary Jane Holland? I thought it was something like 'domme' in MJH, glad to see it was similar. :) are we sure these lyrics are correct? TF, TFM, & BTW have notoriously incorrect lyrics. Either way, I'll add them in soon :party:

,k :Kara: i need u moar than dope

 

I need you more boo :Kara:

I honestly have no idea whether they're correct or not. :shrug: You would assume that they'd be, since they're in the booklet, but like you said they're often littered with typos. The French in Fashion! wasn't in the booklet, but I found this online:

 

Je me sens un peu attirant

(Fashion!)

Donnez-moi Christian Louboutins

(Fashion!)

Le monde est à moi

C'est la vie en

(Fashion!)

Je suis en haute couture en

Fashion for Fashion! (4x)

 

I don't speak French so I have no idea whether they're correct, but they sound pretty accurate when listening to the song. The lyre part in MJH is mostly accurate already, except for this part that I missed before:

 

So if you

 have fear

Apollo, sit on my lyre

And play him like a piano man

(I will, I will)
