Even though her fans are only just realising what the real words are, Lady Gaga herself has never actually denied the explicit lyrics.
In fact, she even made a small nod at them during a performance.
When the ‘Shallow’ singer was playing at iHeartRadio Wango Tango, an annual concert held by the US radio station KIIS FM, she admitted on stage that the station was the only one to actually censor the song correctly.

Speaking to the audience, Lady Gaga said: “KIIS FM is the smartest radio station in the whole world and I’ll tell you why.
“Because this song, it got played all over the world on tens of thousands of radio stations, but KIIS FM was the only one that said I had to censor my lyric because they thought I might be saying something bad.
“And out of all the radio stations in the world that played this record over and over, KIIS FM was the only one that was right and caught on.”
