Katy Perry – Playing House Lyrics
We can’t keep playing house
With such a big world outside
How do we shut it out?
At a fork in the road
Should I stay or should I go?
I’ll keep the cat
Leave a spare under the mat
If …
We can’t keep playing house
With such a big world outside
How do we shut it out?
At a fork in the road
Should I stay or should I go?
I’ll keep the cat
Leave a spare under the mat
If …
[Intro]
Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh, uh
(Daytrip took it to ten, hey!)
[Verse 1]
Swallow all these pills with my pride (Uh)
Married to my highs, you may kiss the bride
Trouble in my brain, …
[Verse]
Oh, you’re proceeded baby, by your reputation
You make me higher than all kinds of medication
I wanna take you to a real discreet location
I wanna take you now
Was at The Roxy …
[Verse 1]
I’m so sorry
For the pain that I cause
Can’t retract these claws
Once they’re out
You can’t stop me
I’m destructive and cocky
Till I fall like a jockey
Off my high horse and back …
[Pre-Chorus]
Zon, zigi-zon, zigi-zigi-di-zon
A-zigi-zon, a-zigi-zon, a-zigi-zigi-di-zon (Zigi-zon)
Zon, zigi-zon, zigi-zigi-di-zon
Zigi-zon, zigi-zon, zay yeah
[Chorus]
Lean to the left, lean to the right
When you need someone to lean on
Slide to the left, slide to the …
[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears (Save me from tears)
I’ll give it to someone special (Special)
[Verse 1]
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
God, it’s been a year, it doesn’t surprise me
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, “I love you”, I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now, you’d fool me again
[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears (Save me from tears)
I’ll give it to someone special
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Oh, give it to someone, oh, yeah
[Verse 3]
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you and your soul of ice
(My God) I thought you were someone to rely on
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
[Verse 4]
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Yeah
Now I’ve found a real love, you’ll never fool me again
[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears (Save me from tears)
I’ll give it to someone special (I’ll give it to someone)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears (Save me from tears)
I’ll give it to someone special (Special)
[Outro]
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart (Fire in his heart)
A man under cover but you tore him apart (Apart)
Maybe next year
I’ll give it to someone, I’ll give it to someone special
