I Like It Rough
Lady Gaga · The Fame Monster (Deluxe Version) [2009]
Your love is nothing I can't fight
Can't sleep with the man
Who dims my shine
I'm in the bedroom with tissues and when
I know you're outside banging but I won't let you in
'Cause it's a hard life, with love in the world
And I'm a hard girl, lovin' me is like straightening curls
You got me wondering why I
I like it rough, I-I like it rough, I-I like it rough
You got me wondering why I
I like it rough, I-I like it rough, I-I like it rough
Won't go without my fix tonight
It's a little too rough
Prom girl wipes her tears with silver lines
And she can't get enough
I'm in the bedroom with tissues and when-
I know you're outside banging but I won't let you in
'Cause it's a hard life, with love in the world
And I'm a hard girl, lovin' me is like straightening curls
You got me wondering why I
I like it rough, I-I like it rough, I-I like it rough
Shiny and I know it
Don't know why you wanna blow it
Need a man who likes it rough
Likes it rough, likes it rough
(Baby likes it a-rough)
Shiny and I know it
Don't know why you wanna blow it
Need a man who likes it rough
Likes it rough, likes it rough
(Baby likes it a-rough)
Is it 'cause you don't mean it
Or because I don't feel it
Unless it's rough
Is it 'cause you don't mean it
Or because I don't feel it
Unless it's rough
(Lady GaGa)
You got me wondering why I
I like it rough, I-I like it rough, I-I like it rough
You got me wondering why I
I like it rough, I-I like it rough, I-I like it rough
You got me wondering why I
I like it rough, I-I like it rough, I-I like it rough
You got me wondering why I
I like it rough, I-I like it rough, I-I like it rough
