Katy Perry - One Of The Boys

Now, this is very unusual. A new artist from L.A. named Katy Perry recently released new album by the name "One Of the Boys." I have been listening to the first track which takes after the name of the album (or vice-versa) and I must admit it has a little of a throw-back to the 80s pop, with a side of punk, blended with a good story to tell through the lyrics. I could be wrong, but you can be the judge.

Katy Perry - One Of The Boys

I saw a spider
I didn't scream
Cuz I can belch
The alphabet
Just double dog
Dare me
And I chose
Guitar over ballet
And I take
These suckers down
Because they just
Get in my way
The way
You look at me
Is kinda like
A little sister
Rubbed
By your goodbyes
And it leaves me
Nothing but blisters

(Chorus)
So I don't want to be
One of the boys
One of the guys
Just give me a chance
To prove to you
I'm neither
I just wanna be
One of the girls
Pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys

So over the summer
Something changed
I started reading 17
And shaving my legs
And I study
The litter religously
And I walked
Right into school
And caught you
Drooling over me
Cuz I know
What you know
But now your gonna have
To take a number
It's ok
Maybe one day
But not until I get my
Diamond ring

(Chorus)
Cuz I don't want to be
One of the boys
One of the guys
Just give me a chance
To prove to you
I'm neither
I just wanna be
One of the girls
So pretty in pearl
Not one of the boys

I wanna be a flower
Not a dirty weed
And I wanna smell
Like roses
Not a baseball team
And I swear
Maybe one day
Your gonnna
Wanna make out
Make out, make out
Touch my boob

(Don't wanna be)
Don't want to be
(Don't wanna be)
Don't want to be
(Don't wanna be)

(Chorus)
Cuz I
I don't wanna be one
One
One of the boys
I just wanna be
One of the girs
So pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys
