Born This Way - Horrific Histories

Henry's fourth wife is widely known as being his least favourite. This is supposedly because she was not physically attractive (Personally I think it was she didn't kowtow to or fawn over him or go along with his obvious charades). Either way, for being married to arguably the most infamous of Tudor monarchs and managing to keep her head I reckon she deserves a song.

Born This Way by Lady Gaga Anne of Cleves

It doesn't matter if I love him (Henry), or capital H-I-M
Just put my veil down 'cause I was born this way, Henry

My papa told me when I was young
I was born to marry well
To have a heir and build a dynasty
This was what I aimed to do

"There's not a need to love the man you wed"
He said, "'Cause you were born royal, Anne"
"So hold your veil up girl and you'll go far, "
Listen to me when I say

I'm beautiful anyway
And God makes no mistakes
This is my face, baby
I was born this way
Won't hide myself in regret
He’ll marry me but not yet
Gonna be queen of England
I was born this way

Not gonna find another way
Daddy I was born this way
Daddy I was born this way
Not gonna find another way
Henry I was born this way
You gotta grow up, Henry
I was born this way

Born a duchess – will be a queen
Born a duchess – will be a queen
Born a duchess – will be a queen
Will be!

Give yourself patience
And love your man
Cause you’re his, and that’s the truth
In the religion of the German states
I must obey him, respect my oath

A different language is not a sin
Believe in capital H-I-M (Hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this country and
Ich bin froh, dass er nicht Lust mich

I'm beautiful anyway
And God makes no mistakes
This is my face, baby
I was born this way
Won't hide myself in regret
Because I’m not leaving yet
You betta grow up , Henry
I was born this way

He’s gonna find another way
Henry I was born this way
Henry I was born this way
He’s gonna find another way
Henry I was born this way
Not gonna grow up, Henry
I was born this way

It’s such a drag, no more a queen
Though as his sister now I’m seen
Dressed black, white, beige, or pearlescent
My destiny was heaven sent
Whether Holbein’s fallacies
Left me outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love myself today
'Cause Henry I was born this way

No matter sister or wife,
You’ll find I’m still by his side,
I'm on the right track baby,
I was born to survive.
Divorced with no hassle
And I’ve my own castle
I'm on the right track baby,
Yes I was born gentle.

I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!
