Teenage Dream Lyrics
You think I'm funny when I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down, down
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February, you'll be my valentine, valentine
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
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
Got a motel and built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you, my missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
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
In my skintight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skintight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
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
In my skintight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skintight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
This song makes me so happy because it reminds me how amazing it feels to be in love with someone.
"I let my walls come down" "let's go all the way tonight" "We drove to Cali and got drunk on the beach" "Got a motel and built a floor out of sheets" "I might get your heart racing" "Let you put your hands on me" "Be your teenage dream tonight"
Now, it doesn't imply that they are teenagers, but it says all those lines in accordance with those being the teenage dream. It's saying that sex is the teenage dream. Now that could be questioned, and normally I give people the benefit of the doubt, but come on. This is Katy Perry we're talking about. The same artist that sang "California Gurls" and "I kissed a Girl and I liked it". Promoting teen sex is something that Katy Perry would so do.
Just go watch the music video for this and it will prove this point. It's a music video about them having sex. It goes about as graphic as a music video is allowed to go.

thank you buddy~!!..and she does not do the whole illuminati eye covered thing,lso shes gotta promote some sort of poison to teens

teenagers having sex is not an issue!!! you're so closed minded
teenagers having sex is not an issue!!! you're so closed minded
You Guys are missing the point, This song is an Homage to Teenage love, You know your first love that you had your first kiss, your first dance, your first everything. The First guy or girl that broke your heart, hahaha every time I listen to this song, I cant help but smile, because it reminds me of my youthful days which by the way isn't that far behind considering I'm 23 hahaha. That what this song is, its not to promote promiscuity between teenagers trust me they are promiscuous enough, but Katy perry is invoking the spirit of Teenage love and the music video also show is as well like when the main squeeze guy is in the basketball room and punching the punch bags and Katy sees him working out, she is getting something in her locker room hello it speaks right there.
Music video shows the spirit of teenage love? I don't know if we watched the same music video, but what I saw was a bunch of people getting half naked, dancing, and making out. Now that's the spirit of teenage love, let me tell you...

Now if you want to talk Katy Perry music videos, her California Gurls music video tells a lot about who she is by her laying naked in the cotton candy clouds the whole song while running around with other girls all having skanky candy outfits for the rest of the song.

i think a lot of people commenting on this song "promoting" teenage sex are living in the dark ages. teenages were having sex before they heard this song and will continue doing so regardless. teenagers have every right to make their own choices and they do. dont you people who are complaining have any fond memories of sexual encounters as a teenager? theyre some of the best times of your life. why should we have to wait til marriage? marriage is an absolute joke, you shouldnt have to have a big extravagant and expensive ceremony and legally bind yourself to someone in order to prove your love. it's people like these whingers that make teenage sex that much better, because we're doing exactly what you don't want us to. we're so much more free than people like you.
We could argue moral values all day and I could go on for a while about the advantages of waiting until marriage and how it makes you more free than if you do so as opposed to having sex with anyone and everyone that you think you love, but that's not the point of this, is it? Right or wrong, the debate here is whether or not this is a song about teenage sex and based on your comments it seems like we at least agree on that aspect of it, even if we disagree on the morality part of...

Your going about that whole concept the wrong way. Abstence until marriage isn't used to constrain you but to keep from throwing you life away on somebody that you dont love just because they made you horny. Also, until teens are eighteen years of age, they are bound by law(or at least where I'm from). So they do NOT have EVERY right. But to the point of my arugment, what does the fact that teens have been having sex for a long time have to do with this song promoting teen sex or not? Does an ad for a cigarette...

But to the point of my arugment, what does the fact that teens have been having sex for a long time have to do with this song promoting teen sex or not? Does an ad for a cigarette company not promote smoking even though people have been smoking for a long time? What if instead of a semi-cryptic song, it was a billboard that read, "ALL YOU TEENS OUT THERE, GO HAVE SEX!" Teens have been and still will have sex, but does that billboard not promote it? I personally am on the wall about the meaning of this song, however, your argument holds no ground either way except for the fact that you want teens to have sex.
Excuse me for my horrible english
I tend to think Ms. Perry is not talking about teenagers having sex. Teenage dream actually stand for how do call it... wet dreams? LOL Maybe, fuck, I suck at this. Well my point is that she is not precisely a teenage, she is 26 year, I mean come oooonnnnn. So, in my opinion, she is just trying to explain how love makes you feel younger and alive, it doesn´t matter if you are 18 or 80.. To sum up, she is trying to describe how hot Russel is and how much she wants to have sex with him... Thank you Katy, another reason to hate you...
bitch... =)
This song reminds me of this one girl im getting to know right now. about a month and a half ago. or 2 months. i forgot. but our first time hanging out together i picked her up at 11 pm almost midnight and we ended up coming back home at 7 in the morning. guess what we did. we drove 2 hours to hollywood and universal city. tried to find that hollywood sign. ended up going back to long beach to walk the pike and explore the famous haunted queen mary ship wreck at 3 in the morning. and chilled and talked at signal hill, a beautiful high view sight seeing place. see all the lights and cities out there. anyways. the reason why it reminds me of that is bcuz throughout the whole night this is the only song i didnt get sick of off of the radio. and cant u call that adventure we had a teenage dream? i call it a perfect one. talking about "lets go all the way tonight, no regrets, just love." "lets runaway and dont ever look back." doesnt that remind you of driving 2 hours away and not look back. i js wanna put this up bcuz ive been feeling this the passed 2 months or so and its still there. that night was js amazing. i mean can u js imagine how that night went. "thats a fuckin teenage dream" and it didnt even have to do with sex. "be your teenage dream tonight" she got to be my teenage dream that night. and still is.
thats whats gucci tho =]
so catchyyy(: okay just to clarify, THEYRE NOT TEENAGERS. theyre both grownups but he makes her feel like shes living a teenage dream (as in, she feels like a teenager again) and the teenage dream is to like fall in love (i guess?) and he makes her heart race and stuff. and shes not promoting teen sex. cause theyre not teenagers! besides its not like teens dont think about that stuff, cause they do
You don't have to be a teenager to live the teenage dream. She's with a guy that she loves (or lusts after) and they decide to go all the way. Due to this chain of events she feels like she is a teenager again. No, I am not a teenager anymore, but was one and I know how teenagers think. Do we need to go back to health class? Your teenager years is when you gain your sex drive and many teenagers fail to keep those newly gained passions in check. High school girls getting pregnant these days is not...
You don't have to be a teenager to live the teenage dream. She's with a guy that she loves (or lusts after) and they decide to go all the way. Due to this chain of events she feels like she is a teenager again. No, I am not a teenager anymore, but was one and I know how teenagers think. Do we need to go back to health class? Your teenager years is when you gain your sex drive and many teenagers fail to keep those newly gained passions in check. High school girls getting pregnant these days is not out of the norm, which is sad. Even teenagers who keep their passions in check have feelings for the opposite gender and sex crosses their minds. Thus is why the teenage dream is to have sex. Whether or not you do is another story, but the word "dream" is the key here.
Now after our health lesson, back to the song. Katy Perry (yes Katy Perry isn't a teenager anymore, thanks for stating the obvious) gets with a guy and "lives the teenage dream". She goes all the way. However you want to say it, it all means the same thing. Now in the last half of the song, after describing her experience, she states 4 times to "be your teenage dream tonight". One of those 4 times being the last line of the song. Going to English class, now, that statement is a command and "be" is a verb. She's telling someone to go do something. She encouraging. She's promoting. What is she promoting? The teenage dream? What is that? Sex. Now this is terrible. People, teenagers especially, should wait for marriage before doing that. Not something anyone should promote in a song. The only way to justify this song is if Katy Perry is singing to married couples. Is Katy Perry doing that? I highly doubt it.
Come on, people. Think. Pay attention to the details.
This song may or may not 'promote' or 'suggest' teenage sex. Yeah. So what? It happens. This song is not going to alter whether kids have sex or not. It doesn't matter, just listen to the damn song.

Oh, so just because the kids are doing it anyway and will continue to do it regardless, it makes it ok to sing about? How about trying to promote good behavior in your songs. Is that too much too ask for? No, but it is for Katy Perry. She's too much of slut. Her songs never have a positive message.

I don't think this song is promoting sex because for one Katy isn't says "Hey kids go have sex! It's fun!" She's saying that being in love with this guy makes her feel young again and that the things he does to her just reminds her of being a teenager again. Teens do things like that, I would know being 16. It's not like it's something we're just learning about, it's been that way for a long time. I really love this song and it's how I feel about my lover at the moment =] Thank you Katy for the fabulous song!
And i fogot to say what I though this song was about sorry.
I think it's Katy's idea of what she thought a normal teenage life was like, as she grew up Christian and never had this wild, sexy teenage life, and now she's met Russell Brand adn is getting married to him, she made this song to show how she's feeling and how he's giving her the teenage dream she never lived. Well that's just my opinion anyways
Ok, I'm a sixteen year old girl and don't usually like listening to pop, but I really love this song. It has never once crossed my mind after listening to this to go out and have sex with the first person I fall in love with, because I'm smarter than that and I know the consequences. Teenagers these days aren't that stupid to think 'Oh, thanks Katy, I'll go and wreck my life now thanks to this song! YAAAYYYY'. Seriously? And if you're going to argue that younger audiences will hear it and think that at age 11 etc.. you're wrong. My little cousin is eleven and when she heard the song, I asked her what she thought about the line 'Let's go all the way tonight' and she though it was about literally going somewhere. Some teens are smart and some are naiive. I notice no-one even honed in on the line 'Let's run away and don't ever look back'. That could in (most of) your eyes be encouragment to run away and leave home, but you all concentrate on sex. Well done. Why can't we just enjoy a song these days without it having to have a life-wrecking message apparently hidden in it? And sorry about the length of this (air quotes-rant) people, some of you didn't deserve to read this :) And now the haters....
Now, I really hope that people don't actually go out and do what they hear in songs. It would be a horrible world if that happened. Doesn't change what the song is about, though, and doesn't make it right. I also am really glad that your 11 year old cousin interpreted that line that way. Call me a Katy Perry hater if you want. She's given me no reason to respect her and has yet to prove to me that she isn't a slut.

Then why even BOTHER commenting on here? That's your opinion, and this is hers/ours, and no one can change that. shrugs It's perfectly fine to speak your mind, but if you're just gonna keep arguing again and again and again, now that's just stupid. IT'S JUST A SONG. ONE. FREAKING. LITTLE. SONG. SERIOUSLY, there are even WORST songs out there, believe me, so GET. OVER. IT.

I have an 11 year old sister and she knew exactly what 'Let's go all the way' line meant. Kids are getting more and more mature these days and they have ways of knowing things they normally shouldn't. I went to her school a few years back and I heard some 3rd-4th graders making innuendos and sexual insults about each other. I myself knew the meaning of sex at 11, not because I grew up in a bad household or anything, I just knew because I was too smart for my age.
