Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse.
One of the Boys (2008)
edit- I kissed a girl and I liked it,
The taste of her cherry chap stick.
I kissed a girl just to try it,
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
It felt so right,
Don't mean I'm in love tonight.
I kissed a girl and I liked it,
I liked it.- I Kissed a Girl, written by Katy Perry, Lukasz Gottwald, Max Martin, and Cathy Dennis

- You... change your mind
Like a girl... changes clothes.
Yeah you... PMS
Like a bitch... I would know.

You're yes then you're no.

You're up then you're down.

It's black and it's white.
