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 …
[Verse 1]
I’m like the water when your ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
And if it was an open-shut case
I never would’ve known from that look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
[Chorus]
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I’m begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that’s my man
[Verse 2]
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneakin’ in
As if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
But there was one prize I’d cheat to win
[Chorus]
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I’m begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that’s my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I’m begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that’s my man
[Bridge]
Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind
They count me out time and time again
Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind
But I come back stronger than a ’90s trend
[Verse 3]
Wait for the signal, and I’ll meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open-shut case
I guess I should’a known from the look on your face
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
[Chorus]
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I’m begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that’s my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I’m begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that’s my man
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I’m begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that’s my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I’m begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that’s my man
[Outro]
Hey, that’s my man
That’s my man
Yeah, that’s my man
Baby, every bait-and-switch was a work of art
That’s my man
Hey, that’s my man
I’m begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that’s my man
