Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm walking through life in nature's disguise, yeah

You laugh at me and you criticize, yeah

'Cause I'm happy, carefree, and gay

Yes I'm gay

Ain't no fault it's a fact

I was born this way, yeah

[Verse 2]

Now I won't judge you

Don't you judge me

We're all the way nature meant us to be

[Verse 3]

I'm happy, I'm carefree, I'm gay

I was born this way

I'm happy, I'm carefree, and I'm gay

(I was born this way)

[Verse 4]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm happy, I'm carefree, and I'm gay

I was born this way

I'm happy, I'm carefree, and I'm gay, hey

[Verse 5]

Yeah, you're callin' me strange

'Cause you don't understand, no

God's role for me in life's overall plan, yeah

I've learned to hold my head up high

Not in scorn nor disgrace

Doin' my thing individually

Entwined with this human race

Now I won't judge you

Hey

Don't you judge me

We're all the way nature meant us to be

[Verse 6]

I'm happy, I'm carefree, and I'm gay

I was born this way

I'm happy, I'm carefree, and I'm gay

I was born this way

[Verse 7]

(I'm happy, I'm carefree, I'm gay)

Yeah, gay

I was born this way

(I'm happy, I'm carefree, I'm gay)

Yeah, yeah, I gotta tell the world about it, yeah

[Verse 8]

(I'm happy, I'm carefree, I'm gay)

Feel good

You, you, yah may not understand

Why I was born this way
