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

From this way

Ooh, my little monsters pay lots 'cause I perform this way

Baby, I perform this way

Perform this way

Ooh, 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 PT

Express yourself

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
