Lady Gaga told Zane Lowe on Beats1 Radio that “Diamond Heart” is about chasing the American dream, and doing whatever it takes to achieve it. It references Gaga’s personal experience as a go go dancer, one of the jobs she had before she was famous.
The title, “Diamond Heart,” is a reference to her...
[Verse 1]
Young, wild, American
Lookin' to be somethin'
Out of school go-go'n
For a hundred or two
Some asshole broke me in
Wrecked all my innocence
I'll just keep go-go'n
And this dance is on you
[Pre-Chorus]
One, five, ten, lay a million on me
Before the end of this song
[Chorus]
Young, wild, American
C'mon baby, do you have a girlfriend?
Rain on me a million
I'm not flawless, but I got a diamond heart
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I
I might not be flawless, but you know
I got a diamond heart
Oh, I
I might not be flawless, but you know
I got a diamond heart
[Verse 2]
Young, wild, American
Head full of Jameson
Girl's playin' bad 'cause it doesn't pay to be good
A cruel king made me tough
Daddy's girl's never good enough
I'll just keep go-go'n
'Cause this dance is on you
[Pre-Chorus]
One, five, ten, lay a million on me
Before the end of this song
[Chorus]
Young, wild, American
C'mon baby, do you have a girlfriend?
Rain on me a million
I'm not flawless, but I got a diamond heart
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I
I might not be flawless, but you know
I got a diamond heart
Oh, I
I might not be flawless, but you know
I got a diamond heart
[Bridge]
Good thing I know what I'm worth
Want a good thing, put the money down first
Better get a good look baby
'Cause soon I'm breaking out of here
[Chorus]
Young, wild, American
C'mon baby, do you have a girlfriend?
Rain on me a million
I'm not flawless, but I got a diamond heart
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I
I might not be flawless, but you know
I got a diamond heart
Oh, I
I might not be flawless, but you know
I got a diamond heart

It’s completely autobiographical. When I moved downtown at 17 I became a go-go dancer. I remember looking at the men and thinking to myself: ‘Lay it on me. I know that you think you know what I am, but the truth is I may not be perfect – yeah, Dad! – and I might not be flawless – Dad! World! – but I...
