Burqa Lyrics
[Intro]
I killed my boyfriend and
Left him in the trunk on highway 10
Put the knife under the hood
If you find it, send it straight to Hollywood
[Interlude]
Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha
A-a-a-a
Burqa
Burqa
Burqa
Burqa
Burqa
[Verse 1]
I'm not a wandering slave, I am a woman of choice
My veil is protection for the gorgeousness of my face
You ought to pity me 'cause was arranged one man to love
But in the bedroom, the size of him's more than enough
[Chorus]
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa?
Behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
I killed my boyfriend and
Left him in the trunk on highway 10
Put the knife under the hood
If you find it, send it straight to Hollywood
[Interlude]
Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha
A-a-a-a
Burqa

[Verse 1]
I'm not a wandering slave, I am a woman of choice
My veil is protection for the gorgeousness of my face
You ought to pity me 'cause was arranged one man to love
But in the bedroom, the size of him's more than enough
[Chorus]
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa?
Behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
[Verse 2]
Enigma popstar is fun, she wear burqa for fashion
It's not a statement as much as just a move of passion
I may not walk on your street or shoot a gun on your soil
I hear you screaming, is it because of pleasure or toil?
[Breakdown]
Dance, sex, art, pop, tech
Dance, sex, art, pop, tech
[Chorus]
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa?
Behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa?
Behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
Enigma popstar is fun, she wear burqa for fashion
It's not a statement as much as just a move of passion
I may not walk on your street or shoot a gun on your soil
I hear you screaming, is it because of pleasure or toil?
[Breakdown]
Dance, sex, art, pop, tech
Dance, sex, art, pop, tech

Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa?
Behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the Burqa, behind the Burqa?
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?

About
Genius Annotation
“Burqa” was the original concept for Gaga’s other song, “Aura”. “Aura” was officially released as the first track on Gaga’s fourth studio album “Artpop”. “Burqa” and “Aura” have the same instrumentals and most of the same lyrics, aside from the fact that every time Gaga said “burqa”, it was switched with “aura”, and vice versa.
This version was leaked by Gaga herself on GagaDaily.com with an account named “BorisIsHere”.
