Do What U Want (Remix) Lyrics

[Intro: Lady Gaga]
Oh, yeah-yeah
Oh, oh-whoa
Oh

[Verse 1: Lady Gaga]
I, I feel good
I walk alone
But then I trip over myself, and I fall
I, I stand up
And then I'm okay
But then you print some shit that makes me wanna scream

[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga]
So do what you want, what you want with my body
Do what you want, don't stop, let's party
Do what you want, what you want with my body
Do what you want, what you want with my body
Write what you want, say what you want about me
If you're wondering, know that I'm not sorry
Do what you want, what you want with my body
What you want with my body

[Chorus: Lady Gaga]
You can't have my heart, and
You won't use my mind, but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
You can't stop my voice 'cause
You don't own my life, but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
[Verse 2: Christina Aguilera]
My bones hurt (Ah)
From all the shows, mmm

But I don't feel the pain, 'cause I'm a pro
I, I sink in, then I'm okay
'Cause my body belongs to you when I'm on stage, hey

[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga & Christina Aguilera]
So do what you want, what you want with my body
Do what you want, don't stop, let's party
Do what you want, what you want with my body
Do what you want, what you want with my body
Write what you want, say what you want 'bout me
If you're wondering, know that I'm not sorry
Do what you want, what you want with my body
What you want with my body

[Chorus: Lady Gaga & Christina Aguilera]
You can't have my heart, and
You won't use my mind, but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
You can't stop my voice 'cause
You don't own my life, but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
[Bridge: Lady Gaga & Christina Aguilera]
Sometimes I'm scared, I suppose
If you ever let me go (Ah-ha)
I would fall apart (Apart) if you break my heart (Ooh)
So just take my body, and don't stop the party
Yeah

[Chorus: Lady Gaga & Christina Aguilera]
You can't have my heart, and (Help me now)
You won't use my mind, but
Do what you want with my body (Do what you want)
Do what you want with my body (Do what you want) (Ohh)
You can't stop my voice (My voice) 'cause
You don't own my life, but
Do what you want with my body (Do what you want with me)
Do what you want with my body (Woo, oh)

[Outro: Lady Gaga & Christina Aguilera]
Do what you want with me
What you want, Lady Gaga
What you want with me, Christina
Oh, what you want with my body
Do what you want with me
Oh, what you want with my body
Do what you want with me, ah
What you want with my body, world
Help me now
What you want with my body, world
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
What you want with my body, world

Genius Annotation

A remix of Lady Gaga’s song “Do What U Want” with Christina Aguilera, was released shortly after both women performed the song on the December 17, 2013 finale of The Voice. The song was originally a duet with R. Kelly, which appeared on Gaga’s third studio album, ARTPOP. The remix focuses on building up women instead of tearing them down, as R. Kelly did with his verses on the original version.

The remix received a revival shortly following Lady Gaga’s announcement on January 11, 2019, that she’d be removing her ARTPOP track “Do What U Want” from streaming services due to her having collaborated with R. Kelly, who was accused of sexual abuse and misconduct.

Aguilera’s duet with Gaga was kept on streaming services. Aguilera revived the then delated hit song of Gaga’s for more recent listeners.

Aguilera said it best via Twitter:

This is a reminder of women sticking together— and not letting a man take ownership of a great song/ moment… And if anything the message of this song remains that although you may have had my body, you will never have my heart, my voice my life or my mind.

What did Lady Gaga say about "Do What U Want (Remix)"?
Genius Answer

This is a reminder of women sticking together— and not letting a man take ownership of a great song/ moment… And if anything the message of this song remains that although you may have had my body, you will never have my heart, my voice my life or my mind. Being a survivor of past predators myself, these lines spoke to me, which is why I did the song. I embrace all survivors of sexual and domestic violence and abuse holding a special place in my heart, and you @ladygaga, for doing the right thing! 💜

Is there a live performance of the song?
Genius Answer
