Lyrics to Katy Perry- Teenage Dream

These are the lyrics to Katy Perry- Teenage Dream.

You think I'm pretty
Without any make-up on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the punch line wrong
I know you get me
So I'll let my walls come down, down

Before you met me
I was a wreck
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my valentine, valentine

Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever

You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back

My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back

We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete

Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever

You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back

My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back

I might get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight

Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight

You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back

My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back

When reading the lyrics we immediately thought of many ideas and symbols for our music video for example, "You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong" we thought of the girl telling a joke in front her group of friends and the love interest is the only one who is laughing. During the line "My missing puzzle piece" we thought of having an aerial shot filming a puzzle set which has a picture of the couple, when filming we would put one piece together and then we would edit it to make it seems smooth. Our inspiration for this idea is Kate Nash- Foundations as she includes animation in the video to create two tooth brushes moving next to each other as a symbol of love. Also, we thought of having an older couple looking back on their relationship because the song speaks in past tense, the song expresses the artist feeling like she feels like she is a teenager again "You make me feel like I'm living a Teenage Dream" which expresses that her boyfriend is her first love and first everything.
