On June 28th, 2012, Lady Gaga explained the variation of the lyrics for the song:
- "I'll probably play that song a little bit differently every night. I think I've probably have 8000 lyrics for that song and I've just cut them up."
Leave the coffin open when I go,
And leave my pearls and lipstick on,
So everybody knows.
Pretty will be the photograph I leave,
Laying down on famous knives,
So everybody sees.
Bleach out all the dark
I'll swallow each peroxide shot,
Someone I know could love and save me from myself.
Or maybe I'll just clean the shit off,
Of these fancy shoes,
I'll be a Princess Die and die with you.
I wish that I was strong,
I wish that I was wrong.
I wish that I could cope, but I took pills and left a note.
I'm hungry from an anorexic heart,
I've been trying to tell you how I feel,
But was never very smart.
I'm wrapped in silks made for Egyptian queens,
I'll do it in the swimming pool,
So everybody sees.
Bleach out all the dark,
I'll swallow each peroxide shot,
Valiums I know will love save me from myself.
Or maybe I'll just clean the shit off,
Of these fancy shoes,
I'll be a Princess Die and die with you.
Princess Die,
I want to see her cry,
Princess Die.
Oh, Princess Die,
We want to watch her cry,
Princess Die.
Wish that I was strong,
Wish that I was wrong.
Wish that I could cope, but I took pills and left a note.
And I wish that I would go,
In my rich boyfriend's limo,
Right after he proposed,
With a 16-carat stone,
Wrapped in rose gold.
With the paparazzi all swarming around,
In my Louis Vuitton white buttoned-down,
Oh, it's not that deep.
So, bob your head for another dead blonde,
Whose real prince is in heaven,
She just wants to sleep.
The final act of life will be in,
My own hands to do,
I'll be a Princess Die and die with you.
Applaud, pour vous.
Changes and re-arrangements in bold
Leave the coffin open when I go,
Leave my pearls and lipstick on,
So everybody knows.
Pretty will be the photograph I leave,
Laying down on famous knives,
So everybody sees.
Bleach out all the dark
I'll swallow each peroxide shot,
Somewhen I know love will save me from myself.
Or maybe I'll just clean the shit off,
Of these fancy shoes,
I'll be a Princess Die and die with you.
Wish that I was strong,
Wish that I was wrong. (Hooo-hooo, hooo-hooo)
Wish that I could cope, but I took pills and left a note. (hooo-hooo)
I'm hungry from an anorexic heart,
Try to tell you how I feel,
But was never very smart.
Wrapped in silks made for Egyptian queens,
I'll do it in the swimming pool,
So everybody sees.
Bleach out all the dark,
I'll swallow each peroxide shot,
Valiums I know will love save me from myself.
Or maybe I'll just clean the shit off,

With a 16-carat stone,
Wrapped in rose gold.

In my Louis Vuitton white buttoned-down,
Oh, shoot me from, the left.
And bob your head for another dead blonde,
Who's real prince is in heaven,
She just wants to sleep.
Princess Die,
I want to see her cry,
Princess Die.
Princess Die,
We want to watch her cry,
Princess Die.

How I wish that I could go,

Bob your head for another dead blonde,
