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.

She is an artist like anyone else. she brings something different to the table. I love her and her voice. It is truly a wonderful song! Just jealous you can not sing like that or you are not successful like her!
This young woman has talent. If you don't like her, fine. But the girl can tickle the keys, she has range, and she's got moves. The same cannot be said for other these so-called artists. The more you all hate, the more I love.
why is she only wearing a bra and what looked liked panties? i did like the song tho, i would jam to it on the radio, wish she would release it as a single
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ELTON JOHN..CANT HE FIND A CLEAN PERSON NOT A SLOB=SHE DONT BELONG A STAR AND SHE SHOULD NOT KNOCK PEOPLE AT BALL GAMES ETC.SHE BELONGS IN A NUT HOUSE.YOU CALL WHAT SHE WEARS CLOTHES AND HER SONGS STINKS..SHE IS NOT A LADY AND WHY DOES THE NEWS HAVE TO TELL US ABOUT THIS NUT.IM SO SICK OF HER
GaGa is great. Like her old stuff better. New stuff is not produced the way the old stuff was. She has lost it on the last song Alewhosiwhatsit. She needs to get back on the techno trail and off of the Billy Joel train. Just my opinion. I still love her. She's a good kid with a head on her shoulders. She makes Hollywood Hollywood.
Can't deny that she is talented. But like so many others, she is truly affected by fame. She knows that the act will get old and uneventful. One can't reinvent how to sell sex every year. She is a talented woman who hopefully will just stick to the music and forget the shock value style that she has. The music speaks for itself and her actions and fashion don't mean a thing to most people ...especially me. So quit it Gaga you don't need it.
Agree, it has happened to me, especially when I am disagreeing on the subject, popeater just will not accept the post. GA GA can sing but she looks like gag gag.
The first time I saw Lady Gaga play with Elton John was on a music award show and they were wonderful together. I just love both of them and Lady Gaga is a music star. You keep singing Lady Gaga, you have a lot of young and old fans that love you.
Wow... You people are quite harsh. Lady Gaga is very eccentric and sometimes (okay, always) over-the-top. That's a fact. But it's necessary to be so in the music industry! You need to be noticed! All press is good press, right? Nah, that's not always true. But as long as she's not doing anything illegal or truly horrible, she's fine. As for this song, I loved it. I'm not one of those CRAZY Gaga fans but I do love her music and will easily admit that she's super talented. I don't necessarily "approve" of her clothing (or lackthereof, especially in this video) but you have to look past that. To whoever said this isn't rock n' roll... You're just thinking of the real rock n' roll stereotype. SHE'S not rock n' roll. Obviously not. That's why this won't be a single, as she said. But this song had that feel and that's what she meant. She's doing what she loves to do and a majority of people love listening/watching her do it. Leave her be.
Not doing anything illegal? How about indecent exposure. Why don't you try showing up to a baseball game in nothing but your bra, panties, and an unbuttoned yankees jersey! What do you think will happen to you? Hmmmmmm
When you're famous, you have to consider the fact that you ARE a role model for some. Is Gag what you want your daughter to be like???

As my 70 year old father just said after watching this video, "Haters gonna hate." Love her or hate her, she IS talented and absolutely unabashed.
