The "Bad Romance" hitmaker admits she struggles with such strong bouts of perfectionism that she finds it almost impossible to be satisfied with the final outcome of her songs - just like the late Beatles star, reports dailystar.co.uk.
"I am perpetually unhappy with what I create. Even though I might tell you that song 'Edge Of Glory' is a pop masterpiece, when it's all said and finished there will be things I dread, and every time I listen to it I'll hear them," she said.
"In John Lennon's Playboy magazine interview he had talked about how he hated certain songs because of the way they were finished. And they might be my favourite songs, but Lennon couldn't listen to them," she added.
