About

“One of the Boys” is a song about Katy’s frustration over being seen as just another of her crush’s friends. She takes it upon herself to attract the boy’s attention. The song is also about Katy’s transition from being a “tomboy” to a woman who is openly feminine.

One of the Boys Lyrics

[Intro]
Do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do

[Verse 1]
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 tape these suckers down
'Cause they just get in my way

[Pre-Chorus]
(The way) The way (You look) you look at me (At me)
Is kinda like a little sister
(High five) You high five your goodbyes (Your goodbyes)
And it leaves me nothin' but blisters

[Chorus]
So I don't wanna be (I don't wanna be)
One of the boys (Don't wanna be)
One of your guys (Don't wanna be)
Just gimme a chance to prove to you tonight
That I just wanna be (I just wanna be)
One of the girls (Just wanna be)
Pretty in pearls (Just wanna be)
Not one of the boys

[Verse 2]
So over the summer, something changed
I started reading Seventeen and
Shaving my legs and
I studied Lolita religiously (Yeah)
And I walked right into school and caught you
Staring at me 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]
(I know) I know (What you) what you know (Know)
But now you're gonna have to take a number
(Okay) It's okay, (Maybe) maybe one day (One day)
But not until you gimme my diamond ring

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna be (I don't wanna be)
One of the boys (Don't wanna be)
One of your guys (Don't wanna be)
Just gimme a chance to prove to you tonight
That I just wanna be your (I just wanna be)
Homecoming queen (Just wanna be)
Pinup poster dream (Just wanna be)
Not one of the boys

[Bridge]
I wanna be a flower, not a dirty weed
I wanna smell like roses, not a baseball team
And I swear maybe one day, you're gonna wanna
Make out, make out, make out with me

[Break]
Don't wanna be (Don't wanna be)
Don't wanna be (Don't wanna be)
Don't wanna be (Don't wanna be)

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna be (I don't wanna be)
One of the boys (Don't wanna be)
One of your guys (Don't wanna be)
Just gimme a chance to prove to you tonight
That I just wanna be (I just wanna be)
One of the girls (Just wanna be)
Pretty in pearls (Just wanna be)
Not one of the boys

[Outro]
Do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do
