Waking Up In Vegas

You gotta help me out
It's all a blur last night
We need a taxi 'cause you're hung-over and I'm broke
I lost my fake ID but you lost the motel key
Spare me your freakin' dirty looks
Now don't blame me
You want to cash out and get the hell out of town

Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me
Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas

Why are these lights so bright
Oh, did we get hitched last night, dressed up like Elvis,
Why am I wearing your class ring?
Don't call your mother
'Cause now we're partners in crime

You got me into this
Information overload, situation lost control
Send out an S.O.S.
And get some cash out
We're gonna tear up the town

Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me
Told me, you told me, you told me
Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Shake the glitter, shake, shake, shake the glitter, c'mon!
Give me some cash out baby
Give me some cash out, honey

It's fun, it's poppy the chorus is energetic but ultimately, the song itself is kinda forgettable. Katy's a pretty girl and I commend her for writing or co-writing all of her tracks on One of the Boys, but from what I've heard from the singles, she's got a lot of growing to do. The upside to this is that she seems to be very down to earth in interviews which I've seen on youtube so that's a plus. The song is about "Waking Up In Vegas" and kinda being disoriented. Katy loses her fake I.D. and I think her "boyfriend" has lost the room key. It's OK, but could be better. I prefer Thinking Of You which has substance or even I Kissed A Girl which is more addictive. 2.75 stars.

This song is just perfect for singing and dancing around the house. I love Katy Perry and this song will make a great addition to any person's collection.

There honestly is no question about the lack of really good msuci. For Katy Perry whom had scored with I Kissed A Girl a year ago from her debut record, One Of The Boys, her latest single doesn't seem to shine any better. Waking Up in Vegas, the 4th single from that album doesn't make you feel as driven either. I really wasn't impressed with the song at all. While the beat might seem catchy, the strength of the song gets a bit tiring after awhile. Katy really needs to honestly find better material to make her music feel like the worth is all her own much more strong-felt. Hopefully, the next single she makes will make you feel like you're waking up in heaven rather thhan the loss of being in Las Vegas. Song: D+

"Waking up in Vegas" is Katy Perry's latest,and it has her trademark humor. It's a bittersweet look at a fling in Vegas. In the video, she and her boyfriend enjoy the shows, win the $$$, bathe in the glamor... but the song ends with them losing all their money, going to a laundromat, and having to steal goodies off of room service trays. (There's even a Penn and Teller cameo) "Waking" is about awakening from self-indulgence. Considering the state of the economy, Perry's song is poignant and bittersweet.

For Katy Perry, over the top is just the tip of the iceberg, from her original/strange lyrics, to her outrageous outfits/stage presence, she's truly an original figure. It's this strange newness that turns you off at first, but eventually it'll overtake you i.e. Hot N' Cold. Waking Up In Vegas is lyrically original, has a great melody taking a building up approach, and the song is possibly even more catchy then any of her previous singles. "Shut up and put your money where your mouth is, that's what you get for waking up in Vegas. Get up and shake the glitter of your shoulders..." It's crazy... Overall, this song should not stay in Vegas, and could be Perry's best effort thus far. Still not amazing, but good enough for your iPod.

Thinking Of You

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed

You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into...

You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay...

January, 20th 2010 (12:55 AM) Let me start off by saying that this song is awesome. The lyrics aren't superb but they do the job. And to Katy's credit she wrote the song on her own. The song talks about a lover who has come to pass and how even though Katy's with some other guy, all she does is think of the better dude (her first love). This is a ballad of sorts, and a good one at that. In the video, Katy goes from the "summer girl" having fun, to the lover in the room being caressed by her current flame and finally to the "widow" at the end, with the slick, laced up heels. Her best song so far for a mile. Now if only Katy Perry would take some serious voice lessons because her voice is too raw. That's my only complaint about this otherwise stunning song. 4 stars.

This had potential to be Katy Perry's signature ballad, but in this day and age there just doesn't seem to be much of a market for romance. It's in the same vein as Madonna's "Crazy for You" or Avril Lavigne's "I'm With You;" a ballad you can easily envision young girls singing at the top of their lungs, into their hairbrushes in front of their vanities. Although the sentiment of it is a bit juvenile, the melody and production are straightforward and tender and Perry gives a strong, albeit not immediately accessible, vocal performance. The accompanying videos (yes, there are two) also help illustrate the two different interpretations of the lyrics that most people seem to have; whether Perry is singing from the perspective of a jilted lover or of an adulteress racked with guilt. It's touching and well-composed. This song is a gem.

"Thinking of you" is a blah,semi-R&B song from dance diva Katy Perry. She's gone from kissing a girl (and liking it,hoping her boyfriend won't mind it) to whining about how sad it is to be without her One Tru Wuv. It's a dull song. Perry now sounds like a Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera clone. It's soft rock,dance pop without the rhythm. It's soulless soul. "Thinking of you" will have you thinking of changing the dial.

There honestly sometimes are artist who might have potential, but others who just haven't made any good songs ata all. For Katy Perry, whom last year was really a bit overdubbed as the I Kissed A Girl vixen, has yet to really make the soul shine as her own. For her latest single, Thinking Of You, the third single from her debut album One Of The Boys, shows that she is trying to grow up quickly from being a wannabe artist, to a rock diva. Sadly, I didn't feel the chemistry here either matched for her either. She might have the appeal, but for Katy Perry herself, she needs to find much better songs to think of. Thinking Of You just wasn't at all a thought in the dark. Song: D

While the concept of the chorus line "Cause when I'm with him, I am thinking of you" has been used hundreds of times before, in no way should one assume this song has nothing new to offer. If anything, it proves Katy Perry doesn't always require a 'gimmick', and a song doesn't always have to be danceable for her to impress. On the rock ballad "Thinking Of You", Katy sets aside the drum machines and synthesizers in favor of real guitars and drums. With lyrics like "You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter...like a hard candy with a surprise center", she shows her depth as a songwriter. But most impressive is the showcasing of her incredible vocal talent...something kept hidden on her previous singles. From soft and sensual with a beautiful falsetto, to strong and pure, and everything in between, this girl's got it. At times her tone and delivery are reminiscent of Alanis Morissette, but I'm sure Katy wouldn't mind being compared to her. Katy delivers a truly moving performance here...A+

Self Inflicted

Remember when I dove into the crowd
And I got a bloody knee under my skin, a mark from wiping out
It brings back the memories
Every bone's been broken
And my heart is still wide open

I can't stop
Don't care if I lose
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I'm going down *in flames* for you
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I'm addicted too

With each scar there's a map that tells a story
what a souvenir of Young love's like jumping out
An airplane riding a tidal wave on an ocean of emotion
My heart rips me wide open

I can't stop
Don't care if I lose
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I'm going down *in flames* for you
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I'm addicted too

And I cover up these scars
(We'll make it we'll make it but we break it)
And I can't stop seeing stars
(lets hope not die)
Whenever you're around
Around

I can't stop
Don't care if I lose
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I'm going down in flames for you
oohhh you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I'm addicted to

I can't stop no I can't stop
no I can't stop
Ohh I'm going out in flames
Ohh I'm going down in flames
Ohhhh
Baby you are the weapon I choose
Baby you are the weapon I choose...

One of the Boys

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
Because 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 want to be
One of the boys
One of your guys
Just give me a chance
To prove to you tonight
I just wanna be
one of the girls
Pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys

So over the summer
Something changed
I started reading 17
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 your gonna have
To take a number
It's OK
Maybe one day
But not until you give 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
I just wanna be
one of the girls
So pretty in pearl
Not one of the boys

I wanna be a flower
Not a dirty weed
And I wanna smell
Like roses
Not a baseball team
And I swear
Maybe one day
Your gonna
Wanna make out
Make out, make out
With me

Don't want to be
Cause I
I don't wanna be one
One
One of the boys
I just wanna be
one of the girls
So pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys

I finally broke down and bought this cd. I avoided buying it at Target for about $12 and got it here for much cheaper. Came in good condition and I love the songs!

Mannequin

How do I get
Closer to you
When you keep
It all on mute
How will I know
The right way
To love you

Usually the queen
Of figuring out
Breaking down a man
Is no work out
But I have no clue
How to get
Through to you

I wanna hit you
Just to see
If you cry
I keep knocking on wood
Hoping there's
A real boy inside

But you're not a man
You're just a mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real

But you're not a man

I wish
I could just
Turn you on
Put a battery in
And make you talk
Even pull
A string for you
To say anything

But with you
There is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch
Of broken parts
And I can't seem
To find your heart

I'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
Cause this one's
Outta my hands
I can't put you
Back together again

Cause you're not a man
You're just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel
That my love is real
You're just a toy
Could you ever be
A real, real boy
And understand
But you're not a man

And understand
That you're not a man

I have listened to this song more than any other song on this album..I love it so much!!

"You're not a man, you're just a mannequin. I wish you could feel that my love is real. But you're nothing but a toy, could you ever be a real, real boy. Unstand. . .but you're not a man" Oh, Katy Perry! She is my new hero, and I was throughly disapointed when I could not go to see her on Warped Tour. This song is one of my personal favorites on the cd. Maybe because it reminds me of someone, or a situation I use to be in. I'm the type of person who likes a many array of music, and each song on the album, is a different type. The lyrics are great, the kind that makes you want to say "Kudos, nice analogy!(or metaphor or simile, or which ever literary device you wish to apply). I love this song, and I love Katy Perry. She is one of my heros, which is alot coming from me!

Lost

I'm out on my own again
Face down in the porcelain
Feeling so high but looking so low
Party favors on the floor
Group of girls banging on the door
So many new fair-weather friends ooo:

Have you ever been so lost
Known the way and still so lost

Caught in the eye of a hurricane
Slowly waving goodbye like a pageant parade
So sick of this town pulling me down
My mother says I should come back home but
Can't find the way cause the way is gone
So if I pray am I just sending words into outer space

Have you ever been so lost
Known the way and still so lost
Another night waiting for someone to take me home
Have you ever been so lost

Is there a light
Is there a light
At the end of the road
I'm pushing everyone away
'Cause I can't feel this anymore
Can't feel this anymore

Have you ever been so lost
Known the way and still so lost
Another night waiting for someone to take me home
Have you ever been so lost
Have you ever been so LOST.

I’m Still Breathing

I leave the gas on
Walk the allies in the dark
Sleep with candles burning
I leave the door unlocked
I'm weaving a rope and
Running all the red lights
Did I get your attention
Cause I'm sending
All the signs and
The clock is ticking
And I'll be giving
My 2 weeks

Pick your favorite
Shade of black
You'd best
Prepare a speech
Say something funny
Say something sweet
But don't say
That you loved me

'cause I'm still breathing
But we've been
Dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure
We're going down for sure
Already lost a grip
Best abandon ship

Maybe I was too pale
Maybe I was too fat
Maybe you had better
Better luck in the sack
No formal education
And I swore way too much
But I swear
You didn't fucking care
Cause we were in love

So as I write this letter
And she'd my last tear
No, it's all for the better
That we end this here
Let's close this chapter
Say one last prayer
But don't say
That you loved me

I Think I’m Ready

I'm used to opening my own doors and splitting the checks
He introduced me, was always just a friend
I bought a new dress, he never noticed
Always falling for these bad boys, such a challenge
I'm getting tired, of cleaning up after them
I think I'm ready to be a woman

Oh love, I think I'm ready
Ready for it

You were such a surprise
An unexpected gift
Said I was pretty, and I believed it
Not really used to all this attention
Told myself I don't deserve you
And this is just a phase
Could I get used to, being loved the right way?
I wanna argue, but there is nothing to say

Oh love, I think I'm ready
Ready for it
Ready for it
Oh love, I think I'm ready

Cuz you send me flowers, when there's no occasion
Yeah we talk for hours, you still wanna listen
Won't hold it against me if I just need you to hold me tonight
My mother always told me that you'd show up one day
So scared to feel this way but love, I think I'm ready
Ready for it
Ready for it
Oh love, I think I'm ready
Ready for it
Ready for it
Oh love, I think I'm ready
