Lady Gaga – Applause Song Lyrics

About Lady Gaga: Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for reinventing herself throughout her career and for her versatility in numerous areas of the entertainment industry. Gaga began performing as a teenager, singing at open mic nights and acting in school plays. She studied at Collaborative Arts Project 21, through New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, before dropping out to pursue a music career. When Def Jam Recordings canceled her contract, she worked as a songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing, where Akon helped her sign a joint deal with Interscope Records and his own label KonLive Distribution in 2007. She rose to prominence the following year with her debut album, the electropop record The Fame, and its chart-topping singles “Just Dance” and “Poker Face”. The follow-up EP The Fame Monster (2009), along with the singles “Bad Romance”, “Telephone” and “Alejandro”, were also successful.

Lyrics:

I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying, “is it right or is it wrong?”
If only fame had an IV, baby I could bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here  I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause  Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch
(Make it real loud)  A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch  I’ve overheard your theory
“Nostalgia’s for geeks”
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read  One second I’m a Koon
Then suddenly the Koon is me
Pop culture was an art
Now, art’s in pop culture in me  I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause  Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch
(Make it real loud)  A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch  Touch, touch
Touch, touch, now  I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause  Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch
(Make it real loud)  A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch
