Born This Way Lyrics

[KURT]
It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

[TINA]
My mama told me when I was young
"We are all born superstars"
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

[MERCEDES]
"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"
She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up girl and you'll go far"
Listen to me when I say...

[NEW DIRECTIONS]
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Oooh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Oooh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Right track, baby, I was born this way
[KURT]
Don't be a drag, just be a queen

[TINA]
Don't be a drag, just be a queen

[MERCEDES]
Don't be a drag, just be a queen

[KURT]
Don't be!

[TINA]
Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

[MERCEDES]
A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M
I love my life, I love this record, and
Mi amore vole fe yah

[NEW DIRECTIONS]
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Oooh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Oooh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Right track, baby, I was born this way

[KURT]
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're Orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby you were born this way

[NEW DIRECTIONS]
No matter gay, straight, or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or Orient-made
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Oooh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Oooh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Right track, baby, I was born this way

I was born this way, hey
I was born this way, hey
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey
I was born this way, hey
I was born this way, hey
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey
