我想沒有人像我，在看過《A Star is born》這套戲後，最念念不忘的竟然是Lady Gaga 睡房內錶起的Carole King 《Tapestry》黑膠唱片封套。為何我印像這麼深刻？因為很多年前，當我在台灣誠品遇到同樣一張黑膠唱片時，我也有過同樣的想法，錶起它，放在家。在Lady Gaga的房間看到它時，我也嚇了一跳，連忙手指指對著銀幕說著我也是，我也是，我也有過這樣的想法，當然沒有人知道我在說什麼。

It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
’cause you were Born This Way, Baby
My mama told me when i was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
in the glass of her boudoir
There’s nothing wrong with loving who you are
she said, cause he made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up girl and you’ll go far
listen to me when I say
I’m beautiful in my way
’cause god makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don’t hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you’re set
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
ooo there ain’t no other way
baby I was born this way
baby I was born this way
ooo there ain’t no other way
baby I was born
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don’t be a drag – just be a queen
Don’t be a drag – just be a queen
Don’t be a drag – just be a queen
Don’t be!
Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi Amore Vole Fe Yah (love needs faith)
I’m beautiful in my way
’cause god makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don’t hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you’re set
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
ooo there ain’t no other way
baby I was born this way
baby I was born this way
ooo there ain’t no other way
baby I was born
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don’t be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you’re broke or evergreen
You’re black, white, beige, chola descent
You’re lebanese, you’re orient
Whether life’s disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
‘Cause baby you were born this way
No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to be brave
I’m beautiful in my way
’cause god makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don’t hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you’re set
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
ooo there ain’t no other way
baby I was born this way
baby I was born this way
ooo there ain’t no other way
baby I was born
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!
