KATY PERRY - Choose Your Battles Lyrics

"Choose Your Battles"

You are my hurt locker lover

Keep me walking on a wire

Don't know when you'll blow

So I tiptoe through your triggered mind

You fight me but I'm on your side

Defeated, now retreating

[Pre-chorus:]

Why you tryna make me your enemy

All you really need is a little peace

I just wanna be your lover

Oh, this is not a competition

So baby why the ammunition

I don't wanna be the last one standing

[Chorus:]

Choose your battles, babe

Then you'll win the war

Stop digging your own grave

When there's so much to live for

Choose your battles, babe

'Cause I'm not fighting anymore

I am not fighting anymore

I've tried to pick off your red flags

But dancing on broken glass

Your mind games hit like grenades

We're cursed just like the Kennedys

But you somehow get me on my knees,

Defeated, now retreating

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

If you wanna go, then go

If you wanna stay, then stay

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more, baby

I am not fighting anymore

If you wanna go, then go

If you wanna stay, then stay

I don't wanna fight no more anyway,

I am not fighting anymore

If you wanna go, then go

(choose your battles, babe)

If you wanna stay, then stay

(then you win the war)

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more, baby

(Stop digging your own grave

When there's so much to live for)

Choose your battles, babe

'Cause I'm not fighting anymore

I am not fighting anymore anyway, anyway,

I am not fighting anymore

If you wanna go, then go

If you wanna stay, then stay

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more, baby

KATY PERRY - It Takes Two Lyrics

"It Takes Two"

Is Mercury in retrograde?

Or is that the excuse that I've always made?

'Cause I wanna blame you,

But I can only blame myself

Yeah, it's easy to throw you under the bus

Or call you crazy, while filling my cup

I say these things to hurt you

But I only hurt myself

Oh, I can only take responsibility for me

It takes two, two sides to every story

Not just you

I can't keep ignoring

I admit half of it, I'm not that innocent, oh yeah

It takes two, two sides to every story

Not just me

You can't keep ignoring

But let me be first baby to say "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry"

I face my demons, yeah, I paid my dues

I had to grow up, I wish you could too

I wanted to save you, but I can only save myself

Oh, I can only be the change I want to see

Yeah, to see

It takes two, two sides to every story

Not just you

I can't keep ignoring

I admit half of it, I'm not that innocent, yeah ohh

It takes two, two sides to every story

Not just me

You can't keep ignoring

But let me be first baby to say "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry"

I point my finger but it does me no good

I look in the mirror and it tells me the truth, yeah

Why all these lessons always learned the hard way

Is it too late to change?

Ohh, It takes two, two sides to every story

Not just you

I can't keep ignoring

And I admit half of it, I'm not that innocent, oh

It takes two, two sides to every story

Not just me

You can't keep ignoring

But let me be first baby to say "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry"

KATY PERRY - Spiritual Lyrics

"Spiritual"

Lay me down at your altar, baby

I'm a slave to this love

Your electric lips have gotten me speaking in the tongues

I have prayed for a power like you

To see deep down in my soul

Oh, you make me bloom like a flower, a desert rose

Magical one and mystery

All of your charms have worked on me

I will surrender myself

Holding hell and heaven high

You have opened up my eyes

And I am finally healed

This is spiritual, under your spell

Phenomenal, the way you make me feel

Like an angel, all a glow

Like a feather, you make me float

Flying high as a kite on your love

Lost in sweet ecstasy

Found a nirvana finally

Magical one and mystery

All of your charms have worked on me

I will surrender myself

Holding hell and heaven high

You have opened up my eyes

And I am finally here

This is spiritual, under your spell

Phenomenal, the way you make me feel

Like an angel, all a glow

Like a feather, you make me float

(You make me float, you make me float)

This is spiritual, under your spell

So phenomenal, the way you make me feel

Like an angel, all a glow

Like a feather, you make me float

(You make me float, oh, you make me float)

KATY PERRY - By the Grace of God Lyrics

"By The Grace Of God"

Was 27 surviving my return of Saturn

A long vacation didn’t sound so bad

Was full of secrets locked up tight like iron mountain

Running on empty so out of gas

Thought I wasn’t enough

Found I wasn’t so tough

Layin’ on the bathroom floor

We were living on a fault line

And I felt the fault was all mine

Couldn’t take it anymore

By the grace of God (there was no other way)

I picked myself back up (I knew I had to stay)

I put one foot in front of the other

And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay

Wasn’t gonna let love take me out that way

I thank my sister for keeping my head above the water

When the truth was like swallowing sand

Now every morning, there is no more mourning

Oh, I can finally see myself again

I know I am enough

Possible to be loved

It was not about me

Now I have to rise above

Let the universe call the bluff

Yeah, the truth’ll set you free

By the grace of God (there was no other way)

I picked myself back up (I knew I had to stay)

I put one foot in front of the other

And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay

Wasn’t gonna let love take me out, oh, that way,

No, that way, no

Not in the name of love

In the name of love

That way, no,

That way, no

I am not giving up

By the grace of God

I picked myself back up

I put one foot in front of the other

And I looked in the mirror (looked in the mirror)

Looked in the mirror (looked in the mirror)

By the grace of God (there was no other way)

I picked myself back up (I knew I had to stay)

I put one foot in front of the other

And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay

Wasn’t gonna let love take me out that way

KATY PERRY - Double Rainbow Lyrics

"Double Rainbow"

You're a one of a one

A one of a kind

That you only find once in a lifetime

Made to fit like a fingerprint

A code that clicks open a gold mine

They say one man's trash is another man's treasure

When I found you, it was all pitter-patter

Secretly, I hit the lottery

'Cause you're brighter than all of the Northern Lights

You speak to me, even in my dreams

Wouldn't let you go for even the highest price

They say one man's trash is another girl's treasure

So if it's up to me, I'm gonna keep you forever

'Cause I understand you, we see eye to eye

Like a double rainbow in the sky

And wherever you go, so will I

'Cause a double rainbow is hard to find

Was a phenomenon when you came along

Yeah, our chemistry was more than science

It was deafening, loud like lightning, it was striking

You couldn't deny it

They say one man's trash is another man's treasure

The two of us together, make everything glitter

'Cause I understand you, we see eye to eye

Like a double rainbow in the sky

And wherever you go, so will I

'Cause a double rainbow is hard to find

To the bottom of the sea, I'd go to find you

Climb the highest peak to be right beside you

Every step I take, I'm keeping you in mind

'Cause I understand you, we see eye to eye

Like a double rainbow in the sky

And wherever you go, so will I

'Cause a double rainbow is hard to find

It's hard to find,

It's hard to find

Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime

KATY PERRY - This Moment Lyrics

"This Moment"

Can you tell me, who called a race?

Can anyone stay in one place?

And when you get to the finish line

Will you wish for more time?

But see, one day

One day you will

But maybe one day you will find

That you just can't push rewind

All we have is this moment

Tomorrow's unspoken

Yesterday is history

So why don't you be here with me?

All we have is this moment

To put a love into motion

Yesterday is history

So why don't you be here with me?

Be here with me now

Do you ever think that we're just chasing our tails?

Like life is one big fast treadmill

And we pop what is prescribed

If it gets us first prize

But you know who I, who I think will win

Are the ones that let love in

Are the ones that take the time

All we have is this moment

Tomorrow's unspoken

Yesterday is history

So why don't you be here with me?

All we have is this moment

To put a love into motion

Yesterday is history

So why don't you be here with me?

Be here with me now

Be here with me now

'Cause the future is right now, right in front of you

Don't let the clock, the clock tell you what to do

Our future is right now, I'm in front of you

Baby don't blink and miss

This moment

Tomorrow's unspoken

Yesterday is history

So why don't you be here with me?

All we have is this moment

To put a love into motion

Yesterday is history

So why don't you be here with me?

Be here with me now

KATY PERRY - Love Me Lyrics

"Love Me"

I lost myself in fear of losing you

I wish I didn't do

But I did

I lost my own, my own identity

Forgot that you picked me for me

But now, I don't negotiate with insecurities

They always seem to get the best of me

I found I had to love myself, the way I wanted you to...

...love me,

No more second guessing

No, there’s no more questioning

I’ll be the one defining who I'm gonna be

No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally

I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me

Sometimes I wish my skin was a costume

That I could just unzip

And strip

But who I am is who I'm meant to be

And it's who you are in love, in love with

So now, I don't negotiate with insecurities

They're gonna have to take a back seat

I know I have to love myself, the way I want you to...

...love me,

No more second guessing

No, there’s no more questioning

I’ll be the one defining who I'm gonna be

No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally

I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me

[2x]

No more standing in my own way

Let's go deeper, let's get closer

No more standing in my own way

(I want you to love me)

No more second guessing

No, there’s no more questioning

I’ll be the one defining who I'm gonna be

No concealing my feelings, or changing seasonally

I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me

No more second guessing

No, there’s no more questioning

I’ll be the one defining who I'm gonna be

No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally

I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me

KATY PERRY - Ghost Lyrics

"Ghost"

You sent a text

It's like the wind changed your mind

We were best friends

Yeah, we were building our life

With every kiss, and every letter

Every promise of forever, oh

But you hit "Send"

And disappeared in front of my eyes

And now you’re just a ghost

When I look back never would have known that

You could be so cold

Like a stranger vanish like a vapor

There's just an echo where your heart used to be

Now I see it clearly

And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep

My vision's 20/20

I see through you now

Something has died

Now that I have made up my mind

I'll be alright

It doesn't haunt me at night

'Cause every gift, and every letter,

Every promise of forever

Now, it's out of sight

Like you were never alive

And now you’re just a ghost

When I look back never would have known that

You could be so cold

Like a stranger vanish like a vapor

There's just an echo where your heart used to be

Now I see it clearly

And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep

My vision's 20/20

I see through you now

Now, now, now, now, now

Now, now, now, now, now

So rest in peace

I'll see you on the other side

And now you’re just a ghost

When I look back never would have known that

You could be so cold

Like a stranger vanish like a vapor

There's just an echo where your heart used to be

Now I see it clearly

And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep

My vision's 20/20

I see through you now

Now, now, now, now

I see through you now

Now, now, now, now

I see through you now

"International Smile"

Flowers in her hair, she don't care

Peach-pink lips, yeah, everybody stares

You think you've seen her in a magazine

It's like she walked right out of your dreams

"Dark Horse"

(feat. Juicy J)

Oh, no.

[Juicy J:]

Yeah

Ya'll know what it is

Katy Perry

Juicy J, aha.

Let's rage

[Katy Perry:]

I knew you were

You were gonna come to me

And here you are

But you better choose carefully

‘Cause I, I’m capable of anything

Of anything and everything

Make me your Aphrodite

Make me your one and only

But don’t make me your enemy, your enemy, your enemy

So you wanna play with magic

Boy, you should know what you're falling for

Baby do you dare to do this?

Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse

Are you ready for, ready for

A perfect storm, perfect storm

Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine

There’s no going back

Mark my words

This love will make you levitate

Like a bird

Like a bird without a cage

But down to earth

If you choose to walk away, don’t walk away

It’s in the palm of your hand now baby

It’s a yes or no, no maybe

So just be sure before you give it all to me

All to me, give it all to me

So you wanna play with magic

Boy, you should know what you're falling for

Baby do you dare to do this?

Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse

Are you ready for, ready for

A perfect storm, perfect storm

Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine (love trippin')

There’s no going back

[Juicy J - Rap Verse:]

Uh

She’s a beast

I call her Karma (come back)

She eats your heart out

Like Jeffrey Dahmer (woo)

Be careful

Try not to lead her on

Shorty’s heart is on steroids

Cause her love is so strong

You may fall in love

When you meet her

If you get the chance you better keep her

She's sweet as pie but if you break her heart

She'll turn cold as a freezer

That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor

She can be my Sleeping Beauty

I’m gon’ put her in a coma

Woo!

Damn I think I love her

Shorty so bad, I’m sprung and I don’t care

She ride me like a roller coaster

Turned the bedroom into a fair (a fair!)

Her love is like a drug

I was tryna hit it and quit it

But lil' mama so dope

I messed around and got addicted

[Katy Perry:]

So you wanna play with magic

Boy, you should know what you're falling for (you should know)

Baby do you dare to do this?

Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse (like a dark horse)

Are you ready for, ready for (ready for)

A perfect storm, perfect storm (a perfect storm)

Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine (mine)

There’s no going back

KATY PERRY - Roar Lyrics

"Roar"

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Get ready 'cause I’ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly

Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes

I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You'll hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You're gonna hear me roar...

Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You'll hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You're gonna hear me roar...

KATY PERRY - Legendary Lovers Lyrics

"Legendary Lovers"

Under a silver moon,

Tropical temperature

I feel my lotus bloom

Come closer

I want your energy,

I want your aura

You are my destiny,

My mantra

I never knew I could see something so clearly looking through my third eye

Never knew karma could be so rewarding and bring me to your light

Maybe this is the beginning of something so magical tonight (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Take me down to the river

Underneath the blood-orange sun

Say my name like a scripture

Keep my heart beating like a drum

Legendary lovers, we could be legendary

La la la la la

Legendary lovers, we should be legendary

La la la la la

Go down in history

Go down together,

Into infinity,

Forever

Your Cleopatra

Your blushing Juliet

Anything for your love,

A ride or die

I never knew I could see something so clearly looking through my third eye

Never knew karma could be so rewarding and bring me to your light

Maybe this is the beginning of something so magical tonight (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Take me down to the river

Underneath the blood-orange sun

Say my name like a scripture

Keep my heart beating like a drum

Legendary lovers, we could be legendary

La la la la la

Legendary lovers, we should be legendary

La la la la la

[Instrumental]

(Legendary lovers)

(Legendary lovers)

(Legendary lovers)

Oh, take me down to the river

Underneath the blood-orange sun

Say my name like a scripture

Keep my heart beating like a drum

Legendary lovers, we could be legendary (legendary)

La la la la la

Legendary lovers, we should be legendary (oh, take me down)

La la la la la

Take me down to the river

Underneath the blood-orange sun (underneath the sun)

Say my name like a scripture

Keep my heart beating like a drum (oh baby)

Legendary lovers, we could be legendary

La la la la la

Legendary lovers, we should be legendary

La la la la la
