Teenage Dream

Perry told MTV News the song "kind of exudes this euphoric feeling because everybody remembers what their teenage dreams were - all the girls that were on your poster walls." (Source Teenage Dreams Songfacts).

[Verse 1] You think I'm pretty without any makeup on You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong I know you get me So I let my walls come down, down Before you met me I was alright, but things were kinda heavy You brought me to life Now every February, you'll be my Valentine, Valentine [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream The way you turn me on I can't sleep Let's run away 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream The way you turn me on I can't sleep Let's run away 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 [Bridge] I'mma 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 (Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight) [Chorus] (You make me) You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream The way you turn me on I can't sleep Let's run away and don't ever look back Don't ever look back (No) My heart stops when you look at me Just one touch Now baby, I believe this is real (Oh-oh) So take a chance and don't ever look back Don't ever look back [Outro] I'mma 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 (Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight) [Produced by Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco, and Max Martin]
