You Overthink, Always Speak Cryptically

Hot N Cold icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 07 from the One of the Boys LP by Katy Perry icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

You change your mind like a girl changes clothes
You PMS like a bitch, I would know
You overthink, always speak cryptically
I should know that you’re no good for me

Because you’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down
You’re wrong when it’s right
It’s black and it’s white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You don’t really want to stay, no
But you don’t really want to go
You’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down

We used to be just like twins so in sync
The same energy now is a dead battery
Used to laugh about nothing now you’re plain boring
I should know that you’re not gonna change

Because you’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down
You’re wrong when it’s right
It’s black and it’s white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You don’t really want to stay, no
But you don’t really want to go
You’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can’t get off this ride

You change your mind like a girl changes clothes

Because you’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down
You’re wrong when it’s right
It’s black and it’s white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You don’t really want to stay, no
But you don’t really want to go
You’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down

She Put the “Y” in “Try”

This song represents the peculiar crossroads of three things: 01) Nashville music production, 02) a foolish man’s broken heart, and 03) the dimmest imaginable light of inspiration.

On a side note, it’s worth pointing out that the song is exactly 3:00 minutes long, which is the length that all songs would be if the corporate music world had its way.


She’s Got a Way with Words icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 02 from the If I’m Honest LP by Blake Shelton icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

When you put two and two together you figure out that “love” has got four letters
I should have known that when I met her, but she had to spell it out for me
After all that second guessing, it’s been a long hard history lesson
That’s a class I got an F in, but now I understand perfectly

She put the “hur” in “hurt”
She put the “Y” in “try”
She put the “S.O.B.” in “sober”
She put the “hang” in “hangover”
She put the “ex” in “sex”
She put the “low” in “blow”
She put a big “F.U.” in my “future”
She’s got a way with words

Little words like “I” and “do”—lying, cheating, screwed
Yeah all the words I thought I knew, they got a brand new meaning now

She put the “hur” in “hurt”
She put the “Y” in “try”
She put the “S.O.B.” in “sober”
She put the “hang” in “hangover”
She put the “ex” in “sex”
She put the “low” in “blow”
She put a big “F.U.” in my “future”
She’s got a way with words

Like a Coffee Machine in an Office (Ahoo!)

I only just realized what an amazingly talented singer and dancer Shakira is!!


She Wolf icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 01 from the She Wolf LP by Shakira icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

S-O-S she is in disguise
There’s a she wolf in disguise,
Coming out

A domesticated girl that’s all you ask of me
Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy
Moon’s awake now, with eyes wide open
My body is craving, so feed the hungry

I’ve been devoting myself to you
Monday to Monday
And Friday to Friday
Not getting enough retribution or decent incentives to keep me at it
Starting to feel just a little abused
Like a coffee machine in an office
So I’m gonna go somewhere closer
To get me a lover and tell you about it

There’s a she wolf in the closet
Open up and set her free
There’s a she wolf in the closet
Let it out so it can breath

Sitting across the bar, staring right at her prey
It’s going well so far, she’s gonna get her way
Nocturnal creatures are not so prudent
The moon is my teacher, and I’m her student

To locate the single man I’ve got on me a special radar
And the fire department’s hot line in case I get in trouble later
Not looking for cute little divas or rich city guys that just want to enjoy
I’m having a very good time and behave very bad in the arms of a boy

There’s a she wolf in the closet
Open up and set her free
There’s a she wolf in the closet
Let it out so it can breath

S-O-S she is in disguise
There’s a she wolf in disguise
Coming out

There’s a she wolf in the closet
Let it out so it can breath

Ain’t No Big Deal

I Kissed a Girl icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 02 from the One of the Boys LP by Katy Perry icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

This was never the way I planned, not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion
It’s not what I’m used to, just wanna try you on
I’m curious for you, caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it

No, I don’t even know your name, it doesn’t matter
You’re my experimental game, just human nature
It’s not what good girls do, not how they should behave
My head gets so confused, hard to obey

I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it

Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain’t no big deal, it’s innocent

I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
