Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Ah-ah
I can't believe what you said to me
Last night we were alone
You threw your hands up
Baby, you gave up, you gave up
I can't believe how you looked at me with your James Dean glossy eyes
In your tight jeans
With your long hair and your cigarette stained lies
Could we fix you if you broke?
And is your punch line just a joke?
I'll never talk again
Oh, boy, you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless
And I'll never love again
Oh, boy, you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless
I can't believe how you slurred at me
With your half-wired broken jaw
You popped my heart seams
All my bubble dreams, bubble dreams
I can't believe how you looked at me with your Johnnie Walker eyes
He's gonna get you and after he's through
There's gonna be no love left to rye
And I know that it's so complicated
But I'm a loser in love, so baby
Raise a glass to mend
All the broken hearts of all my wrecked up friends
I'll never talk again
Oh, boy, you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless
And I'll never love again
Oh, friend, you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
And after all the drinks and bars that we've been to
Would you give it all up? (Oh-oh)
Could I give it all up for you? (Oh-oh)
And after all the boys and the girls that we've been through
Would you give it all up? (Give it all up)
Could you give it all up (give it all) if I promise, boy, to you?
That I'll never talk again
And I'll never love again
I'll never write a song
Won't even sing along
I'll never love again (oh-oh)
So speechless (ah-ah)
You left me speechless, so speechless
Will you ever talk again?
Oh, boy, why you so speechless? (Speechless, baby)
You've left me speechless, so speechless
Some men may follow me
But you choose death and company
Why you so speechless?
Oh, oh
About This Song
"Speechless" is a vulnerable piano ballad that strips away Lady Gaga's usual pop theatrics to reveal raw emotional pain about a relationship's devastating end. The song explores themes of betrayal and heartbreak, with Gaga expressing how her partner's hurtful words and actions have left her literally unable to speak or respond. Musically, it showcases her classical piano training and powerful vocals in a sparse, intimate arrangement that contrasts sharply with the electronic dance-pop dominating The Fame Monster. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of romantic disillusionment, referencing "James Dean glossy eyes" and "cigarette stained lies" to capture both the allure and deception of her lover. This track stands out as one of Gaga's most emotionally honest moments, demonstrating her range beyond pop spectacle and foreshadowing the more vulnerable artistry she would explore in later albums.
