Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][C]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
My [D]mama
told me when I [C]was hatched
Act [G]like a [D]superstar
Save your allowance, buy a [C]bubble dress
And [G]someday you will go [D]far
Now on red carpets, well,
I'm [C]hard to miss
The press follows every[G]where I go
[D]I'll poke your eye out
with a [C]dress like this
Back off and en[G]joy [D]the show!

[Verse 2]
I'm sure my critics will [D]say
it's a grot[C]esque display
Well they can [G]bite me,
baby, I per[D]form this way
I might be wearin' Swiss cheese
or maybe [C]covered with bees
It doesn't [G]mean I'm crazy,
I per[D]form this way ('from this way)

[Verse 3]
Ooh, my little monsters pay lots
'cause [C]I perform this way
[G]Baby, I perform this [D]way
(perform this way)
Ooh, don't worry, I'm okay,
hey, I [C]just perform this way
I'm [G]not crazy, I per[D]form this way

[Verse 4]
I'll be a troll or [D]evil queen
[C]I'll be a human jel[D]ly bean
'Cause [G]every [D]day is Halloween for me

[Verse 5]
I'm so [D]completely [G]original
[D]My [G]new look is all[D] the rag[G]e
[D]I'll wrap my small intestines
[C]'round my neck
And set fire [G]to myself on [D]stage[G]
[D]I'll wear a porcupine on [C]my head
On a W- [G]H- I- M
[D]And for no reason now I'll
[C]sing in French
Excusez- moi,
[D]qui a PT (express yourself)

[Verse 6]
Got my straight jacket [D]today,
its made of [C]gold lame
No, not be[G]cause I'm crazy,
I per[D]form this way
I strap prime rib to my feet,
cover my[C]self with raw meat
I'll bet you've nev[G]er seen
a skirt steak [D]worn this way
Don't be [Am]offended

[Verse 7]
when you see
My latest pop monstrosity
I'm strange, weird,
shocking, [C]odd, bizarre
I'm Frankenstein, I'm Avatar
There's [D]nothing too embarrassing
I'll honestly do anything
But wear white after Labor Day
'Cause baby, I perform this way

[Verse 8]
Hope you won't think it's [D]cliche
if I go [C]nude today
Don't call the [G]cops, now,
baby, I per[D]form this way
No reason I should regret all
the at[C]tention I get
I'm not com[G]pletely crazy,
I per[D]form this way, yeah

[Verse 9]
I perform this way- [D]hey,
I perform this [C]way- hey
I'm always devi[G]ating from
the [D]norm this way- hey
I perform this way- hey,
I perform this way- hey
I'm really not [C]insane,
I just perform this way- hey
