DADDY’s girl Lady GaGa has given her father the gift of life — she paid for him to have a new heart.

The Poker Face singer took to her Twitter account over the weekend to reveal that her dad, Joseph, had undergone open-heart surgery.

And now in an interview with with 104.7 KISS FM in Phoenix, Arizona, GaGa says she covered the cost of the operation with the advance for her new album.

“It was pretty necessary… It was the biggest nightmare of my life,” she said. “My father is my whole world; I’m such a daddy’s girl.

“I said, ‘I haven’t bought anything yet with any of the money that I’ve made from my new album… so let me buy you a new heart, dad.’ And he said, ‘OK, fine.’

“I took care of my mom and my sister and I took care of me, and he’s gonna be out in a couple of days… Now I feel like I can get back to work.

“For a while I was feeling like I just wanted to give up. This really kinda put things in perspective…

“When this happened I really just kinda said, ‘I don’t wanna do anything for the next two weeks; I just wanna be with my dad and be a good daughter.’”
