[Pre-Chorus 1] I'm in the bedroom with tissues and when I know you're outside bangin', then I won't let you in 'Cause it's a hard life with love in the world And I'm a hard girl, loving me's like chewing on pearls
[Pre-Chorus 2] I'm in the bedroom with tissues and when I know you're outside banging, then I won't let you in 'Cause it's a hard life with love in the world And I'm a hard girl, loving me's like straightening curls
[Bridge] I'm 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 rough) I'm 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 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
