At Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball last Thursday in New York City, Lady Gaga graced the crowd with a brand new, rock-tinged piano ballad titled 'You and I.'
"This song is very, very dear to my heart, and I just wrote it," Gaga said in her introduction. "It's a bit of a rock 'n' roll tune, which means it will most likely never get used as one of my singles."
The scantily clad singer gave a beyond-energetic performance, jumping up on the piano bench and pumping her fist, absolutely nailing the tune that "no one's ever heard before ... ever." See the video after the jump!
"New Song. Written in NY on the piano I grew up on," Gaga tweeted, linking to the bootleg video you can enjoy here:
Lyrics we were able to glean:
It's been a long time since I came around
It's been a long time, but I'm back in town
And this time, I'm not leaving without you
You taste like whiskey when you kiss me
Oh, I'd give anything again to be your baby doll
Yeah, this time, I'm not leaving without you
He said sit back down where you belong,
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on'
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time, and you said to me
Something, something about this place
Something about lonely lights and my lipstick on your face
We love a catchy, dancey Gaga tune as much as ... well, everyone ever, but this passionate rocker is certainly tasty. And it's great to get back to the music de Gaga, rather than the spectacle and the Seinfeld feud.

Oh for cripes sake! Live a little. This woman has talent oozing out of her from everywhere. If she were so talent-less as you say Boozee, then why is it that she is everywhere and one of the most if not THE most sucessful Pop Superstars right now? Grow up
Rock tinged? Rock "n" Roll? Are these writers abusing illegal substances again? The only thing rock about this song is the crack that Lady Gaga is smoking! While she is a talented singer, she's just one of many, nothing spectacular, it's been done before, and will be done again.
I love it! It's so Gaga! Being over the top is her thing, and I suppose that isn't everyone's cup of tea. She's one of the talented artists of our time and is so well-liked because of her individuality. As for the "false British accent" I don't hear it.. People love to tear down people, especially celebrities to make themselves feel better..
Everybody loves her? I don't think so ask the New York Yankees and anyone else with half a brain. She has no real talent and the only reason she is any kind of news is she/it wants to run around half naked and be an idiot!!!!!!
Since when is the New York Yankees 'everyone'? And she is in the news for her eccentric and boundary pushing style and videos. She's the better Madonna and with a username like Roy Boy I would imagine you would understand that :P
What's up with the Madonna-When-She-Met-Guy-Ritchie-Dialect? Where's her New York City accent she should have acquired somewhere along the way of being from here? No one from NYC can recall her presence at any club. No one remembers seeing her around the street. I have just a slight, slight feeling that she might be fibbin'.
What a silly mommy! Katie Holmes takes Suri into the water in her clothes as the two spend the afternoon at the beach in Miami. More of Today's Hottest Photos

She needs to stick to Rock and Roll, and acting relately normal, she is much more likeable.

Another terrible song that eveyone will rave about. Also, why is she talking with a fake British accent. Pulling a Madonna, eh? She sucks!

When was she talking with a British accent? Get over yourself. If you don't like her or her music, then why are you watching her video? Jealous much?
This woman's got more talent in her nipple than you do in your whole body.
My tune would go
This lady is no lady. She sounds a little shady
gaha haha
she sounds phony

I don't know about the whole stomping on the piano thing.

If the Dixie Chicks recorded this it would be #1. She is very talented, a little over the top, but its there.

It was NOT in New York City, It WAS at Elton's annual White Tie and Tiara Ball at his home in Windsor England! I hate BAD reporting!

@royboy-
She made 62 million dollars this year according to Forbes. I think it's safe to say people like her.
