“The Cure” is a feel-good anthem about unconditional love for someone.
During her first live performance of this song at Coachella 2017, Gaga told the crowd:
I love you guys so much. I have been through so much in my life and I’ve seen so much. And you cure me every time with your love”
That perf...
[Verse 1]
I'll undress you 'cause you're tired
Cover you as you desire
When you fall asleep inside my arms
May not have the fancy things
But I'll give you everything
You could ever want, it's in my arms
[Pre-Chorus]
So baby, tell me "yes"
And I will give you everything
So baby, tell me "yes"
And I will be all yours tonight
So baby, tell me "yes"
And I will give you everything
I will be right by your side
[Chorus]
If I can't find the cure, I'll
I'll fix you with my love
No matter what you do, I'll
I'll fix you with my love
And if you say you're okay
I'm gonna heal you anyway
Promise I'll always be there
Promise I'll be the cure (Be the cure)
[Verse 2]
Rub your feet, your hands, your legs
Let me take care of it, babe
Close your eyes, I'll sing your favorite song
I wrote you this lullaby
Hush now baby, don't you cry
Anything you want could not be wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
So baby, tell me "yes"
And I will give you everything
So baby, tell me "yes"
And I will be all yours tonight
So baby, tell me "yes"
And I will give you everything
I will be right by your side
[Chorus]
If I can't find the cure, I'll
I'll fix you with my love
No matter what you do, I'll
I'll fix you with my love
And if you say you're okay
I'm gonna heal you anyway
Promise I'll always be there
Promise I'll be the cure (Be the cure)
[Bridge]
I'll fix you with my love
(I'll fix you with my love-lo-love)
I'll fix you with my love
(I'll fix you with my love-lo-love)
[Chorus]
If I can't find the cure, I'll
I'll fix you with my love
No matter what you do, I'll
I'll fix you with my love
And if you say you're okay
I'm gonna heal you anyway
Promise I'll always be there
Promise I'll be the cure (Be the cure)
Promise I'll be the cure (Be the cure)
[Outro]
I'll fix you with my love
