[Verse 1: Lady Gaga] I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong To crash the critic saying, "Is it right or is it wrong?" If only fame had an IV, baby, could I bear Being away from you? I found the vein, put it in here [Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga] I live for the applause, applause, applause I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me The applause, applause, applause [Chorus: Lady Gaga] Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud) Give me that thing that I lovе (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Makе it real loud) [Post-Chorus: Lady Gaga] A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Make it real loud) A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Make it real loud) A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch [Verse 2: Lady Gaga] I've overheard your theory, "Nostalgia's for geeks" I guess sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read One second I'm a Koons, then suddenly the Koons is me Pop culture was in art, now art's in pop culture, in me [Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga] I live for the applause, applause, applause I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me The applause, applause, applause [Chorus: Lady Gaga] Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud) Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud) [Post-Chorus: Lady Gaga] A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Make it real loud) A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Make it real loud) A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch [Bridge: Lady Gaga] Ooh-woo, touch, touch Ooh-woo, touch, touch now Ooh-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh [Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga] I live for the applause, applause, applause I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me The applause, applause, applause [Chorus: Lady Gaga, DM DOKURO] So you know that we're out there Give me that thing that I love Swatting lies in the making Put your hands up, make 'em touch Can't move fast without breaking Can't hold on or life won't change Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch And our voices ring out, yeah Give me that thing that I love Took the mask off to feel free Put your hands up, make 'em touch Fought it out in the debris Now, we know that life will change Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch [Outro] A-R-T-P-O-P
