meaning
In an interview with MTV , Lady Gaga said:
“The first thing that is shown in this song is fear of the sexual truth. You can also tell from the text that it is tied to the simple truth when I say 'Show me your teeth' or 'Tell me your truth'. I think it's also inspired by the time of my life when I was sexually insane. "
