[Verse 1: Bradley Cooper]
Tell me somethin', girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?
[Refrain: Bradley Cooper]
I'm fallin'
In all the good times, I find myself longin'
For change
And, in the bad times, I fear myself
[Verse 2: Lady Gaga]
Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired tryna fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain't it hard keepin' it so hardcore?
[Refrain: Lady Gaga]
I'm falling
In all the good times, I find myself longing
For change
And, in the bad times, I fear myself
[Chorus: Lady Gaga]
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
[Post-Chorus: Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper]
In the sha-ha, sha-hallow
In the sha-ha, sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha, sha-hallow
We're far from the shallow now
[Bridge: Lady Gaga]
Oh, ha, ah, ha
Oh-ah, ha
[Chorus: Lady Gaga]
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
[Post-Chorus: Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper]
In the sha-ha, shallow
In the sha-ha, sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha, shallow
We're far from the shallow now

She sits down at the piano and explains to us how they have similarities and differences. And then she plays this song she had written with Mark Ronson, “Shallow”, for us — and I mean, how you hear it in the trailer, full power, is how she s...
Originally, it was just an Ally song, it was just for Gaga to sing, and I never realized it was a duet. I certainly never realized it was going to be part of the plot, the narrative in the parking lot, which is really such a beautiful scene. I think taking anything personal out of the film, like my...
