Playing House
Katy Perry

We can't keep playing house

With such a big world outside

How do we shut it out?

At a fork in the road

Should I stay or should I go?

I'll keep the cat

Leave a spare under the mat

If you need to crash one day


Cause I know we swore forever

But it seems so far away

Don't you think we're just too young

To play these grown up games?


Cause you know me too well

It'd be like me lying to myself

But I'm so scared to be alone

And go back to sleeping with the lights on


Cause I can be myself

Drunk or sober fat proactive poster

Wouldn't it be nice

If we were older


Cause I know we swore forever

But it seems so far away

Don't you think we're just too young

To play these grown up games


Some days I wanna take my chances

Not live so modernized

Some day I wanna be a Mrs.

But it's not yet quite right

No it's not yet quite right


So there go our future children's names

I put the rest of us in a box in the closet

That I cannot open without getting full

Full of emotion

Because you know I loved you

You know I loved you

You know I loved you

You know I loved you

You know I loved you


Cause I know we swore forever

But it seems so far away

Don't you think we're just too young

To play


One day I wanna take my chances

Not live so modernized

One day I wanna be a Mrs.

But it's not yet quite right

No it's not yet quite right

No it's not yet quite right
