Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (/ˈstɛfəniː dʒʌrməˈnɑːtə/ STE-fə-nee jurr-mə-NAH-tə; born March 28, 1986), known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer and songwriter. Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career. She began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side, and was signed with Streamline Records by the end of 2007. During her employment as a songwriter for the record company, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.
Lady Gaga came to prominence as a recording artist following the release of her debut album The Fame (2008), which was a critical and commercial success that topped charts around the world and included the international number-one singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". After embarking on the The Fame Ball Tour, she followed the album with The Fame Monster (2009), which spawned the worldwide hit singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone" and "Alejandro". The album's success allowed her to embark on the eighteen-month long Monster Ball Tour, which later became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Her most recent album Born This Way (2011) topped the charts of most major markets and generated more international chart-topping singles, including "Born This Way", "Judas" and "The Edge of Glory". Besides her musical career, she involves herself with humanitarian causes and LGBT activism.

There you go, again and again, baby, startin' with the things that just wouldn't end it
I don't know why we can't get along; when we first started out nothin' ever went wrong
I love to hear your voice but your choice of words just blows my mind
And I'm not foolin' 'cause I don't believe in what you see involvin' me in all of your schemin'
You say you want my love and then you're willing to return it and what you're doin' now ain't about to earn it
'Cause you're driving me mad with your nagging ways and in my kind of love that ain't what pays
I love to hear your voice but your choice of words just blows my mind
And I'm not foolin' 'cause I don't believe in what you see involvin' me in all of your schemin'
It was on my mind both night and day and you better listen now to what I got to say
'Cause I know our love is much too good to be broke up by something misunderstood
I love to hear your voice but your choice of words just blows my mind
