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
ooo
my little monsters pay. lots 'cause i perform this way
baby
i perform this way
ooo
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
and for no reason now i'll sing in french
excusez-moi
qui a pete?
got my straight jacket today
it's made of gold lame
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
i perform this way
hope you won't think it's cliche 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
