One Of The Boys - Katy Perry
standard tuning: EADGBE
Intro:
Verse:
I saw a spider I didn’t scream,
‘Cause I can belch the alphabet,
Just double dog 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 kind of like a little sister,
Rubbed by your goodbyes,
And it leaves me nothing but blisters.
So I don’t want to be just one of the boys,
One of the guys,
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight that,
I just want to be one of the girls,
Pretty in pearls,
Not one of the boys.
Verse:
So over the summer something changed,
I started reading Seventeen and shaving my legs,
And I studied Lolita religiously,
And I walked right into school and caught you staring at me.
‘Cause I know what you know,
But now you’re going to have to take a number,
It’s okay, maybe one day but not until you give me my diamond ring.
‘Cause I don’t want to be one of the boys,
One of your guys,
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight that,
I just want to be a homecoming queen,
Pinup poster dream,
Not one of the boys.
I want to be a flower, not a dirty weed,
I want to smell like roses, not a baseball team,
And I swear maybe one day you’re going to want to, make out, make out, make out with me
So I don’t want to be one of the boys,
One of the guys,
Give me a chance to prove to you tonight that,
I just want to be one of the girls,
So pretty in pearls,
Not one of the boys.
Oh, one of the guys.
Oh, one of the boys.
