[Intro]
Initiating Cherry Cherry Boom Boom, Lady Gaga
I like it rough

[Verse 1]
Your love is nothing I can't fight
Can't sleep with the man who dims my shine

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm in the bedroom with tissues and when
I know you're outside bangin', then I won't let you in
'Cause it's a hard life with love in the world
And I'm a hard girl
Loving me's like chewing on pearls

[Chorus]
You've got me wondering why I, I like it rough
I, I like it rough
I, I like it rough
You've got me wondering why I, I like it rough
I, I like it rough
I, I like it rough

[Verse 2]
Won't go without my fix tonight
It's a little too rough
Prom girl wipes her tears with silver lines
And she can't get enough

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm in the bedroom with tissues
And when I know you're outside banging, then I won't let you in
'Cause it's a hard life with love in the world
And I'm a hard girl
Loving me's like straightening curls

[Chorus]
You've got me wondering why I (you got me), I like it rough
I, I like it rough
I, I like it rough
You've got me wondering why I (oh, yeah), I like it rough
I, I like it rough
I, I like it rough

[Bridge]
I'm shiny, and I know it
Don't know why you wanna blow it
Need a man who likes it rough, likes it rough, likes it rough (baby, likes it rough)
I'm shiny, and I know it
Don't know why you wanna blow it
Need a man who likes it rough, likes it rough, likes it rough (baby, likes it rough)

[Breakdown]
(I'm shiny, and I know it
Don't know why you wanna blow it
Need a man who likes it rough, likes it rough, likes it rough; baby, likes it rough)
Is it cause you don't mean it, or because I don't feel it unless it's rough?
(I'm shiny, and I know it
Don't know why you wanna blow it
Need a man who likes it rough, likes it rough, likes it rough; Lady Gaga)
Is it cause you don't mean it, or because I don't feel it unless it's rough?

[Chorus]
(You got, yeah, yeah, you have got me, oh, wondering why)
You got me wondering why I, I like it rough
I, I like it rough
I, I like it rough
You got me wondering why I (oh-oh, yeah), I like it rough
I, I like it rough
I (oh wondering why), I like it rough
You got me wondering why I (yeah, yeah you have got me), I like it rough
I, I like it rough
I (oh, wondering why), I like it rough
You got me wondering why I, I like it rough
I, I like it rough
I, I like it rough
