DRESSIN’ UP
By
Katy Perry
***************
(Dressin’ up, dressin’ up for you, for you, for you)
(Dressin’ up, dressin’ up for you, for you)
Saucer of milk
Table for two
You wanna pet my kitty?
You such a dirty doggy
It’s your lucky night ’cause I’m in the mood
I’m feeling spicy
I’m feeling real naughty
Pick a part, you dream it up
A dark vixen, a lolita
Oh boy, tell me your fantasy
Tonight’s the night I’m dressing up for you
I can tell you’re obsessed by your shortness of breath
Ooh, my cookie monster wants a taste test
Be a good boy and I’ll show you the rest
Ooh, my little voyeur wants to play explorer
Pick a part, you dream it up
Like dirty dominatrix
Oh boy, tell me your fantasy
Tonight’s the night (tonight’s the night)
Tonight, I’m gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine to five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight’s the night I’m dressing up for you
(Dressin’ up for you, for you)

WHAT MAKES A WOMAN
***************
Is it the way I talk sweet, the way my skin is soft?
Or how I can be a bitch, and make you keep your fingers crossed?
Is it the way that I praise you, the way that I please you?
Or how fast I change my mind, and get scared that I might leave you?
Could spend your whole life but you couldn’t
Describe what makes a woman
She’s always been a perfect mystery
Could spend your whole life but you couldn’t
Describe what makes a woman
And that’s what makes a woman to me
Is it the way I cut my hair and put no makeup on?
I feel most beautiful doing what the fuck I want
Is it that my intuition is never really off?
I need tissues for my issues and band-aids for my heart
Could spend your whole life but you couldn’t
Describe what makes a woman
She’s always been a perfect mystery
Could spend your whole life but you couldn’t
Describe what makes a woman
And that’s what makes a woman to me
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
That’s what makes a woman to me
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Oh, yeah, yeah-yeah
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Is it the way we keep the whole world turning?
In a pair of heels, yeah, that’s what makes a woman
(There it is, Katheryn)
NEVER WORN WHITE
***************
You love the hell out of me
And heaven’s where we could be
I’ve stood on the edge of love
But never took the leap
And you took my armor off
And did it delicately
And I let my guard down
To show you what’s underneath
Thank God that you were man enough to come
Answer my mamma’s prayers
You asked the question
I said, “Yes”, but I’m scared
‘Cause I’ve never worn white
But I wanna get it right
Yeah, I really wanna try with you
No, I’ve never worn white
But I’m standing here tonight
‘Cause I really wanna say, “I do”
I do
See us in sixty years with a full family tree (I do)
Give my blood, sweat and tears to reach our destiny (I do)
‘Cause love is a minefield, let’s take this walk, baby (I do)
‘Cause at the end of it all, I choose you and you choose me (I do)
Thank God I was woman enough to come
Answer your father’s prayers
You asked the question
I could tell you were scared
‘Cause I’ve never worn white
But I wanna get it right
Yeah, I really wanna try with you
No, I’ve never worn white
But I’m standing here tonight
‘Cause I really wanna say, “I do”
Now let’s dance with each other
Mixing all of our colors
It’s so easy to surrender
When you finally find forever
No, I’ve never worn white, no
But I really wanna try with you
Yeah, I’ve never worn white
But I wanna get it right
‘Cause I really wanna say, “I do”
‘Cause I do
Oh, I do, yeah, yeah
I do
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
***************
Summer after high school when we first met
We make up in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents’ liquor
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
like we had a clue
Never plan that one day
I’d be losing you
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises
Be us against the world
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the Blues
Its time to face the music
I’m no longer your muse
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises
Be us against the world
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
The one that got away
[Bridge:]
All these money can’t buy me a time machine (Nooooo)
Can’t replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)
I shoulda told you what you meant to me (Woooooow)
Cause now I pay the price
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises
Be us against the world
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
ONLY LOVE
***************
86,400 seconds in a day
I swear lately most of them
Have been a waste
I feel them come and go
Bury my mistakes
But time just goes on and on
In a way
If I had one day left to live
And if the stars went out on me, the truth is
Yeah there’s so much I’d say and do
If I had nothing to lose, nah nothing to lose
Oh I’d call my mother and tell her I’m sorry
I never call her back
I’d pour my heart and soul out into a letter
And send it to my dad
Like oh my God the time I’ve wasted
Lost in my head
Let me leave this world with the hate behind me
And take the love instead
Give me
Only love, only love
Give me
Only love, only love
I swear sometimes I hear myself talking
Getting mad
Take shit so personal
Like it really matters
Oh am I awake, am I sleepwalking
Tell me that
It’s scary how quickly I lose perspective
And I react
If I had one day left to live
And if the stars went out on me, the truth is
Yeah there’s so much I’d say and do
If I had nothing to lose, nah nothing to lose
Oh I’d call my mother and tell her I’m sorry
I never call her back
I’d pour my heart and soul out into a letter
And send it to my dad
Like oh my God the time I’ve wasted
Lost in my head
Let me leave this world with the hate behind me
And take the love instead
Give me
Only love, only love
Give me
Only love, only love
Yeah, give me
Only love, only love
Let me leave this world with the hate behind me
And take the love instead
Give me
Only love, only love
Give me
Only love, only love
Only love, only love
Let me leave this world with the hate behind me
And take the love instead
Let me leave this world with the hate behind me
And take the love instead
Give me
Only love, only love
Give me
Only love, only love
Only love, only love
DAISIES
***************
Told them your dreams and they all started laughing
I guess you’re out of your mind till it actually happens
I’m the small town
One in seven billion
Why can’t it be me?
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
They said I’m going nowhere
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
When did we all stop believing in magic?
Why did we put all our hopes in a box in the attic?
I’m the long-shot
I’m the Hail Mary
Why can’t it be me?
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down (Knock me down)
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
They said I’m going nowhere
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
Yeah
Yeah-eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh (Cover me in daisies)
Yeah
Yeah-eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
I’m the small town
One in seven billion
Why can’t it be me?
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
They said I’m going nowhere
Tried to count me out (Count me out)
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
