Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
Ro mah ro-mah-mah
Gaga oh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
Ro mah ro-mah-mah
Gaga ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

I want your ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it's free
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

I want your drama
The touch of your hand
I want your leather studded kiss in the sand
I want your love
Love-love-love, I want your love (Love-love-love, I want your love)

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad
Your bad romance

I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh!)
I want your love and
All your lovers revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh! Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
Ro mah ro-mah-mah
Gaga ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

I want your horror
I want your design
'Cause you're a criminal
As long as your mine
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

I want your psycho, your vertigo shtick
Want you in my rear window
Baby you're sick, I want your love
Love-love-love, I want your love (Love-love-love, I want your love)

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad, bad romance

I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh!)
I want your love and
All your lovers revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh! Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh! Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
Ro mah ro-mah-mah
Gaga ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
Ro mah ro-mah-mah
Gaga oh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

Walk, walk fashion baby, work it move that bitch crazy
Walk-walk fashion baby, work it move that bitch crazy
Walk-walk fashion baby, work it move that bitch crazy
Walk-walk passion baby, work it I'm a free bitch baby

I want your love
And I want your revenge
I want your love
I don't wanna be friends

(J'veux ton amour et je veux ta revanche j'veux ton amour)
I don't wanna be friends, I don't wanna be friends
I don't wanna be friends, I don't wanna be friends
Want your bad romance (caught in a bad romance) want your bad romance

I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh!)
I want your love and
All your lovers revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh! Want your bad romance
Caught in a bad romance
Want your bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh! Want your bad romance
Caught in a bad romance

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
Ro mah ro-mah-mah
Gaga ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

    My Interpretation:I feel like this song is about what general media can do. In the beginning of the video and the song, she is a sweet little character. towards the end she turns more into an animal after more exposure to the media.

    Memory:this reminds me of my boyfriend and my cousins boyfriend, we flew my cousins boy out from tonga to australia for the first time he got really stuck into music while here.
    anyway my cousin and i went to bed and the boys stayed up drinking and at about 1am my cousin and I woke up to the boys smashed trying to change the cd but it kept getting stuck in on this song and the boys were so pissed they just kept saying "rah rah rah rah rah'over and over again than failing to try change it, ha my cousin text me from the other room and we were just cracking up laughing.

    My Interpretation:It could be about girls liking bad boys, or just liking the up and downs, you can have, in a relationship, with a partner.

    General Comment:This song, like many of her other songs, is about the fame. Each song on the Fame Monster is about a personal fear. Bad Romance is fear of fame. The song is essentially about the fame monster. She's comparing fame to an abusive relationship. She's saying that she'll do anything for the fame because she loves it. She accepts the fame for all the ugly. But it also seems sort of like a friends with benefits sort of thing with the fame. She doesn't want to be friends, so it's like no emotional attachment. The fame screws her over and that's okay. Then the video adds to this. It compares fame with prostitution as well. She seems helpless at first, so it's like the fame, or record people are in control. She seems to be their puppet until she kills that guy. So she's saying that she may seem like fame's puppet, but she pretty much has the last laugh.

    General Comment:It seems like the general theme of this song is that Gaga wants "revenge sex". "Your a criminal as long as your mine" gives off the impression that the guy she is having this "bad romance" with is helping her get back at her boyfriend through raunchy sex. The guy she wants seems to be the kind that is into kink, someone she can burn up.

    General Comment:to me its about a bad romance its what she says she wants him and his not hers! the man is having an affair with her and is wanting to revenge his partner with his new love!

    General Comment:I actually don't like Gaga, but I decided to listen to the lyrics and watch the vid for this video to see why the hell people like her, and all I can tell "Bad Romance" about sex and sex traffiking, in which in the video she seems to romanticise it... if you want to know what would be more realistic about prostitution and sex traffiking, watch the movie Taken, then you would see how terrible it is (unless you're a sick bastard who does that crap). Hell, and in these interveiws, she could be straight lying to you fans about what her songs could be about, its not hard to lie on camera.
