Born to Express Yourself

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're okay
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

'Cause we are living in a material world (Don't go for second best, baby)
And I am a material girl (Put your love to the test)
You know, you know you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real

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
Something in the way you love me won't ("There's nothing wrong with loving who you are")
She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe" (Let me be)
I don't want to be your prisoner, so baby, won't you set me free ("So hold your head up, girl, and you'll go far")
"Listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way (Borderline)
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby (Feels like I'm going to lose my mind)
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret (Make him)
Just love yourself, and you're set (Express ow he feels)
I'm on the right track, baby (And maybe then you'll know your love)
I was born this way (Is real)

Silky smooth lips as sweet as candy
Baby, tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patches
Strong inside but you don't know it (There ain't no reason you and me should be alone tonight)
Good little girls, they never show it (Yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby)
When you open up your mouth to speak (I got a reason that you should take me home)
Could you be a little weak? (Tonight)

Do you know what it feels like for a girl?
Do you know what it feels like in this world for a girl?
It's hot to feel the rush (Do you know what it feels like)
To brush the dangerous (For a girl?)
I'm gonna run right through (Do you know)
To the edge with you (What it feels like)
Where we can both fall far in love (In this world for a girl?)

I'm on the edge of glory (I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes)
And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth (I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way)
Don't hide yourself in regret (I'm on the edge, the edge)
Just love yourself, and you're set (The edge, the edge)
I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way (The edge, the edge, the edge)

Ooh, there ain't no other way (Yeah, born this way)
Baby, I was born this way (Live for the applause-plause)
Baby, I was born this way (Live for the applause-plause) ('Cause we are)
Ooh, there ain't no other way (Living, in a)
Baby, I was born this way (Material world)
Baby, I was born this way (Then you'll know your love is, the applause-plause, live for the)

Way that you cheer and (I was born this way, hey)
I was born this way, hey (Material world)
I'm on the 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
