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

[Chorus]

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

Homecoming Queen

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

[Chorus]

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

Homecoming Queen

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 wanna be)

Don't want to be

(Don't wanna be)

Don't want to be

(Don't wanna be)

[Chorus]

Cause I

I don't wanna be one

One

One of the boys

I just wanna be

Homecoming Queen

So pretty in pearls

Not one of the boys

About this Song

One Of The Boys by Katy Perry is a pop anthem where the singer reflects on her transformation from a tomboy to embracing her femininity. The song speaks about the changes she undergoes to fit into a more traditionally feminine mold and her desire to be noticed romantically. The key themes revolve around identity, self-discovery, and the struggle to find a balance between staying true to oneself and societal expectations. Poignant moments include her realization of wanting more than just being 'one of the boys' and the internal conflict that arises from this shift.
