Don't go for second best baby 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 "There's nothin wrong with lovin 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"
Don't go for second best baby 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
Long stem roses are the way to your heart But he needs to start with your head Satin sheets are very romantic What happens when you're not in bed You deserve the best in life So if the time isn't right then move on Second best is never enough You'll do much better baby on your own
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
Ooo there ain't no other way Baby I was born this way Baby I was born this way
So if you want it right now, make him show you how Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not
And when you're gone he might regret it Think about the love he once had Try to carry on, but he just won't get it He'll be back on his knees
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 (Make him express yourself) Just love yourself and you're set I'm on the right track baby I was born this way Born-born-bo-bo-born this way Ooooh-ooooh 'Cause God makes no mistakes I'm on the right track baby (Baby I was born this way hey HEEEY) I was born this way Don't hide yourself in regret (Respect yourself) Just love yourself and you're set I'm on the right track baby I was born this way

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
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
Chorus: I'm beautiful in my way 'Cause god makes no mistakes I'm on the right track baby I was born this way Ooo there ain't no other way Baby I was born this way Baby I was born this way Ooo there ain't no other way Baby I was born - I'm on the right track baby I was born this way I was born this way hey!

You don't have to feel, like a waste of space You're original, cannot be replaced If you only knew, what the future
