Katy Perry – One of the Boys Song Lyrics

About Katy Perry: Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, and television judge. After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager. Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin.

Lyrics:

I saw a spider
I didn’t scream
‘Cause I can belch the alphabet
Just double don’t dare me, and
I chose guitar over ballet
And I take these suckers down
‘Cause 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 So I don’t wanna be
One of the boys
One of your guys
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight
That I just wanna be
One of the girls
Pretty in pearls
And not one of the boys So over the summer something changed
I started reading seventeen, and
Shaving my legs
And I study Lolita religiously
And I walked right into school, and
Caught you staring at me ‘Cause I know
What you know
But now you’re gonna have to take a number
It’s okay
Maybe one day
But not until you give me my diamond ring ‘Cause I don’t wanna be
One of the boys
One of your guys
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight
That I just wanna be
Your homecoming queen
Pin-up poster dream
And not one of the boys I wanna be a flower
Not a dirty weed
I wanna smell like roses
Not a baseball team
And I swear maybe one day
You’re gonna wanna
Make out, make out, make out with me Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be… ‘Cause I don’t wanna be
One of the boys
One of your guys
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight
That I just wanna be
One of the girls
Pretty in pearls
And not one of the boys
