Recording[]

Adam Lambert is a huge fan of Gaga, and wanted her to contribute to his debut album. Lady Gaga gave details to KISS 106.1 on how their partnership came to be.

"I worked with Adam. I think it was last week [the 19th of October, 2009]." - Lady Gaga

"They called me. They asked me to write for him. I was actually like, 'Geez, I got this record that I wrote a while ago.' It's, like, a total hit, smash record, but for some reason, like, I couldn't get it right with me doing it, and I said, 'Gosh, it would be perfect for him.'" - Lady Gaga

"I played it for him and he's like, 'Oh my God, I love it,' and he went crazy, so we did it. He's a funny guy, he's a good guy." - Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga also noted that she leaves her onstage persona at the door when it's time to write songs for other musicians.

"When I do things like this, it's important for me and the artist to remember that I'm not an artist in that room, I'm a songwriter. It's Adam's time and it's his song and I want him to enjoy this moment in his life. You never debut again. You only get one time." - Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga's version[]

There he goes
My baby walks so slow
Sexual tic-tac-toe
Yeah, I know we both know
It isn’t time
But would you be mine?

We'll never get too far
Just you, me and the bars
silly ménage à trois sometimes
Would you be mine?
Would you be mine?
Would you be mine?

Oh baby, lights on
But your mom's not home
I'm sick of laying down alone
With this fever, fever yeah
I want it all
Now I'm gonna get you alone
Give you a fever, fever yeah

There it goes
You stole my soul and so
'Cause, sweetheart
A-no-no-nobody a-kno-kno-knows
They're occupied
Tell me you'll be mine

Let's get inside your car
Just you, me and the stars
Kind of ménage à trois
Sometimes

Would you be mine?
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

Oh baby, lights on
But your mom's not home
I'm sick of laying down alone
With this fever, fever yeah
I want it all
Now I'm gonna get you alone
Give you a fever, fever yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah

Oh baby, your light's on
But your mom's not home
I'm sick of laying down alone
With this fever, fever yeah
I want it all
Now I'm gonna get you alone
Give you a fever, fever yeah

Fever, fever, yeah
