Katy Perry... Teenage Dream

"Teenage Dream"

You think I'm pretty

Without any makeup on

You think I'm funny

When I tell the punchline 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

Let's go all the way tonight

No regrets, just love

We can dance, until we die

You and I, will be young forever

[Chorus]

You make me feel

Like I'm livin' 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

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, will be young forever

[Chorus]

You make me feel

Like I'm livin' 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

I'mma get your heart racing

In my skin tights jeans

Be your teenage dream tonight

Let you put your hands on me

In my skin tight jeans

Be your teenage dream tonight

I'mma get your heart racing

In my skin tights 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)

Ok, Lets start here...

It all seems good until the second block right? She says that this guy bought her to life. shouldn't God be bringing you to life? Christ should be your solace, Not a boy. When you fill your emptiness with affection it messes you up and I have seen it happen! remember that Jesus Comes First. Then Lets go all the way tonight....? Really? Do I need to explain this? has anybody heard of abstinece... Its a good word to know. A lot of you are probably thinking, Hey she is married! but she really is saying teenage dream, she is labeling what teens supposedly do and think of. In this song she is talking about making a guy lust after her and she is promoting sex before marriage, getting drunk, being provacative. Really? ok, Well does this line up with God's word at all? lets just look at one verse...

Matthew 22:37

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."

Loving the lord with all of you means to put him first and top honor him in what you do. The bible say's not to cause another man to stumble(lust) and it says to dress modestly. Nothing in this song lines up with God's word so isit a good song for you to listen to? will you be honoring God with this music? Your Call.
