Hot N Cold Lyrics

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you PMS
Like a bitch, I would know
And you overthink
Always speak cryptically
I should know that you're no good for me

Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really wanna stay, no
(You) But you don't really wanna go
Hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

We used to be
Just like twins, so in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh 'bout the thing
Now you're plain boring
I should know that you're not gonna change

Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really wanna stay, no
(You) But you don't really wanna go
Hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of the love bipolar
Stuck on a rollercoaster
Can't get off this ride

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes....

Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really wanna stay, no
(You) But you don't really wanna go
Hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

I believe this song is about a guy who keeps saying he wants to be with her, but then decides he doesn't, and so on. Hence the line "Got a case of the love bipolar" and she continues to go back to him everytime he says he wants her back, no matter how much the breaking up happens. Such as the lines "Stuck on a rollercoaster,Can't get off this ride" and "We fight, we break up, We kiss, we make up"

I honestly don't think it's about someone who is literally bi-Polar.

I think it's more like, you can never tell from one day to the next whether they'll be in love/together (hot) or at war/apart (cold).

as in, they have no clue whatsoever whether they wanna be together or not. they can't stay in the relationship long enough to figure out if they're a good coupel or not.

@athomeintheclouds I'm inclined to agree, seeing as the song says "love bi-polar", implying it's particularly in terms of their relationship.

i love katy perry! this song is just so much fun it's a get-up-and-dance song! :] its pretty obvious that it's about knowing you should end your relationship, but steel feeling attatched. And you can't seem to bring closure to it because you still have feelings for the person, but the relationship isn't what it once was. One of her best!

Yea,it is a get-up-dance-song.if you want more,go to youtube and type in DJ Tiesto,Armin Van Buuren,Cascada and Fragma.Really good songs r Memory by Fragma (Klaas Mix),Zocalo by Armin Van Buuren,In The Dark by DJ Tiesto,and Traffic by DJ Tiesto.

Not Valid

this song is so relatable! seriously!! it's being with a guy who wants you one second, then the next he doesnt. He ignores you, then he talks to you. He can't make up his mind you know? He has commitment problems. I love this song!!!

I think this song is about the showers in the women's prison.

I thought it was about being in a relationship and not getting any.

sorry, couple.

This explains my ex perfectly. He was always one extreme or the other, on a rollercoaster, even now after we broke up, he alternates between missing me and feeling like he meant nothing to me...i understand her frustration perfectly

Cover art for Hot N Cold lyrics by Katy Perry

Oh my.... this song explains exactly my feelings in my relationship with this girl. I just dont know what to do. We are together for a one month, and she is the initiator of our relationship... ...yeah, just like this: "(You) You don't really wanna stay, no (You) But you don't really wanna go..."
