While Lady Gaga lyrics might elicit some head scratching here and there, and some may seem downright nonsensical, the Mother Monster can always be counted on to say memorable things in her songs. Her lyrics cannot be taken at face value, since there is always a deeper, more personal meaning, and many of her lyrical turns of phrase have become signature and anthemic.

Whether she's supporting the LGBT community, lamenting a lost lover (and the cool guy) who hails from Nebraska, demanding that you "rejoice and love yourself today" or finding salvation in her strands, the devil is always in the clever details when it comes to Gaga's words. She tells incredibly potent and poignant stories in songs, twisting words and playing with contrasts, all while bringing it down to a level where her fans can relate. But Lady Gaga lyrics are never esoteric -- she toes line between being artistic and making a direct connection flawlessly.

While Gaga's lyrics are dressed up and dramatic, there's always some nugget of truth or something culled from her direct experience, which is why her legion of little monsters attach so much weight to her words. We're paying homage to Mother Monster with 10 more of the best Lady Gaga lyrics, in continuation from our first rundown of her 10 best lines.
