  • Wake up, ex-wife
    This is your life
    Children, on your own
    Turning on the telephone
    Messages, manager
    No time for a manicure
    Working out, shake my ass
    I know how to multitask
    Connecting to the Wi-Fi
    Went from nerd to superb
    Have you seen the new guy?
    I forgot the password
    Gotta call the babysitter
    Tweeting on the elevator
    I could take a helicopter
    I don't even feel the pressure

    I'm gonna be okay
    I don't care what the people say
    I'm gonna be alright
    Gonna live fast and I'm gonna live right
    I'm moving fast, can you follow my track?
    I'm moving fast and I like it like that
    I do ten things all at once
    And if you have a problem, I don't give a

    You were so mad at me
    Who's got custody?
    Lawyers, suck it up
    Didn't have a prenup
    Make a film, write a song
    Gotta get my stockings on
    Meet the press, buy the dress
    All of this to impress
    Ride my horse, break some bones
    Take it down a semitone
    I forgot to say my prayers
    Baby Jesus on the stairs
    Gotta sign a contract
    Gotta get my money back
    All the bottles have to go
    Standing in the front row

    I'm gonna be okay
    I don't care what the people say
    I'm gonna be alright
    Gonna live fast and I'm gonna live right
    I'm moving fast, can you follow my track?
    I'm moving fast and I like it like that
    I do ten things all at once
    And if you have a problem, I don't give a

    I tried to be a good girl
    I tried to be your wife
    Diminished myself and I swallowed my light
    I tried to become all that you expect of me
    And if it was a failure, I don't give a
    (I don't give a, I-I-I don't
    I don't give a, I-I-I don't
    I don't give a, I-I-I don't
    I don't give a)

    Shots fire (uh)
    Anything you hear Nicki on, that's fire
    You don't hear them bums on nothin', that's fire (nope)
    Tell 'em, "Catch fire"
    In the Bugatti, ten grand, one tire
    Ayo, Madonna (yes, Nicki?)
    Mi hear seh you original, Don Dada
    Inna yuh Gabbana, inna all yuh Prada
    We material girls, ain't nobody hotter
    Pops collar
    See, I really can't relate to your Volvo
    And you can't get these shoes outta Aldo
    When I let a dude go, that's his loss
    I was cuttin' them checks, I was his boss
    Yo, I don't give a F you (uh-huh)
    Curse nor bless you (okay)
    Never let 'em stress you
    Yo, I ain't a businesswoman, I'm a business, woman
    And I'm known for givin' bitches the business, woman (kyuh)

    I'm gonna be okay (uh-huh)
    I don't care what the people say (Madonna)
    I'm gonna be alright (Nicki Minaj)
    Gonna live fast and I'm gonna live right
    I'm moving fast, can you follow my track? (Let's go)
    I'm moving fast and I like it like that (catch up)
    I do ten things all at once (uh-huh)
    And if you have a problem, I don't give a

    There's only one queen and that's Madonna

  • Leo from Westminster 1, MdI Don't Give A...-Dance/Rock as autobiography. Madonna is crying her heart out with absolute rage in this sad song. Then again, Madonna is not your typical dance/pop artist. She is love, sadness and art in her songs.
