Katy Perry

Lyrics

[Intro]
Your mind may refuse to believe
Your mind may refuse to believe

[Verse 1]
I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf
While jacking off listening to Mozart
You bitch and moan about LA
Wishing you were in the rain reading Hemingway
You don't eat meat and drive electrical cars
You're so indie rock, it's almost an art
You need SPF 45 just to stay alive

[Chorus]
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like

[Verse 2]
You're so sad, maybe you should buy a happy meal
You’re so skinny, you should really Super Size the deal
Secretly you're so amused that nobody understands you
I'm so mean 'cause I cannot get you out of your head
I'm so angry 'cause you'd rather MySpace instead
I can't believe I fell in love with someone that wears more makeup and
[Chorus]
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like...
[Breakdown]
Hey
Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh!
La-la-la, la-la-la
Do-do-do, bah-bah-bah
Do-do-do, da-da-day
You're so gay
You're so gay

[Bridge]
You walk around like you're oh so debonair
You pull 'em down and there's really nothing there
I wish you would just be real with me

[Chorus]
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
Oh, no-no-no-no-no-no-no
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
[Outro]
No, you don't even like... penis
