[Intro]
Suspicious behaviour
(Suspicious)
What is the criteria?
(Must look suspicious)
Is it the way that you ac’?
Or, is it your colour?
[Verse 1]
I went to the garage
Something was wrong with my accelerator
They said they would fix it
“Leave it with …
Young girl of only 19
Beautiful smile
Looked just like her dream
Her parents were so proud
Came from the southern counties
Deep Blue eyes
Saw more than i see
Hair blew with the wind
Goes to a …
I have an apology to make
I’m afraid I’ve made a big mistake
I turned my face away from you, Lord
I was too blind to see the light
I was too meek to …
[Verse 1: Lili Trifilio]
I don’t wanna seem the way I do
But I’m confident when I’m with you
Lately, all I feel is bad and bruised
Tired of tripping on my shoes
[Chorus: Lili …
[Chorus]
That velvet dress, it got me so in love with you
Wake me up, rub me till my hearts itching
Passionate, sexin is so official
I couldn’t have it any other way
I said that velvet dress, it …
[Verse 1]
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess 31
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice 32
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything 33
[Pre-Chorus]
You held me down, but I got up (hey!)
Already brushing off the dust 34
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground 35
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause I had enough
I see it all, I see it now 36
[Chorus]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire 37
Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar! 38
[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (x3)
You’re gonna hear me roar!
[Verse 2]
Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero 39
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus x2]

Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar…!40
Katy is talking about how for most of her life she has had to be on guard lest she annoy someone or make a mess. This could also be a rebellion against her Christian upbringing and her time making Gospel music.
She refers to her agreement to follow societal rules, which in exchange, she lost a vital part of her freewill.
Katy was so used to following and pleasing everyone that it became to much for her and because of giving up her own freewill she had no ethical code of her own to guide her and she made mistakes that she wouldn’t otherwise have made.
Katy is talking of people who held her back, who she had to fight off and she is now recovering herself.
She tells her tormentors to hear the sound she will make as she refuses to bend to their every whim and wish, to repay all the years of silence.
She warns them that she is now a stronger person and is fed up with how she is treated.
Katy makes a reference to the ‘Eye of the tiger’ hit song by Survivor. The tiger has been associated with power and energy and the Chinese have used the eye of the tiger charm to ward of or exorcise evil spirits. She uses this symbolism to show that she is no longer the weak girl that she was and will fight for what is her right.
She now says that her voice will be heard loud and clear because she is at the top of the world in her life.
Katy talks of how gentle she can be at one moment and the next exact her revenge like a bee because she is now stronger. She has grown and has earned her position and believes in her own abilities.
She makes a roar to let her critics know that she means it.
