I Wanna Be With You (Live at iTunes Festival 2013)

[Spoken Word]

This next one I wrote for my fans. I wrote this song when The Born This Way Ball was ending. Sorry we have company so im just you know, fixing up my face.  Ah, I’ve been waiting so long to play this for you. When I was on the road and I knew that I was in pain at the end and I knew that we might not finish the show, my God, it killed me inside, just terrible. And it was because, even though you lovely fans got to see me at Twickenham, right? Amazing that was a great show, I had so much fun, that was like totally surreal. But I wasn’t able to share that with everybody, and I was really sad. So I knew that I was almost done, finished, cooked. So, I wrote this song about how even though I had to go, what I really wanted is I always; I wanna be with you

[Verse 1]

It's off, it's on

The party's just begun

Take off, and run

Let's celebrate the fun of being young

I don't wanna grow up

I don't wanna grow up

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause when the lights come on

You lift me up, and I feel strong

[Chorus]

I won't be right without you

And I might break without you

I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone

I'll write hit songs about you

No matter how, we'll get through

I'll keep on singing for a living, but I wanna be in love

And I wanna be with you

This one's for you. Thank you for taking me back

[Verse 2]

Lights off, lights on

The music has begun

Rely, or run

Get the bad guy's gun

I love the songs that you play

And I don't care what they say

'Cause I was born this way

[Pre-Chorus]

And I hear you scream, I hit the top of the stage

And close my eyes, and know exactly who I am

Oh-oh

[Chorus]

And I won't be right without you

And I might break without you

I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone

I'll write hit songs about you

No matter how, we'll get through

I'll keep on singing for a living, but I wanna be in love

And I wanna be with you

This one's for you

[Chorus]

I won't be right without you

And I might break without you

I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone

I'll write hit songs about you

No matter how, we'll get through

I'll keep on singing for a living, but I wanna be in love

And I, I wanna be with you

This one's for you
