Yeah, y'all know what it is

Katy Perry, Juicy J

Sss, uh-huh, let's rage!

I knew you were

You were gonna come to me

And here you are

But you better choose carefully

'Cause I, I'm capable of anything

Of anything and everything

Make me your Aphrodite

Make me your one and only

But don't make me your enemy (your enemy)

Your enemy (your enemy), your enemy

So, you wanna play with magic?

Boy, you should know what you fallin' for

Baby, do you dare to do this?

'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (hey)

Are you ready for, ready for? (Hey)

A perfect storm, perfect storm? (Hey, hey)

'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

(There's no going back)

Mark my words

This love will make you levitate

Like a bird, like a bird without a cage

We're down to earth

If you choose to walk away, don't walk away

It's in the palm of your hand now, baby

It's a yes or no, no maybe

So just be sure before you give it all to me

All to me, give it all to me

So, you wanna play with magic?

Boy, you should know what you fallin' for

Baby, do you dare to do this?

'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (hey)

Are you ready for, ready for? (Hey)

A perfect storm, perfect storm? (Hey)

'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (hey, hey)

(There's no going back)

Oh, she's a beast (beast), I call her Karma (come back)

She eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer (woo)

Be careful, try not to lead her on (mm-mm)

Shorty heart is on steroids

'Cause her love is so strong (strong)

You may fall in love when you meet her (meet her)

If you get the chance you better keep her (keep her)

She's sweet as pie, but if you break her heart

She'll turn cold as a freezer (freezer)

That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor

She can be my Sleeping Beauty

I'm gon' put her in a coma (woo)

Damn, I think I love her

Shorty so bad, I'm sprung and I don't care

She ride me like a roller coaster

Turn the bedroom into a fair (a fair)

Her love is like a drug

I was tryna hit it and quit it

But lil' mama so dope

I messed around and got addicted...

So, you wanna play with magic?

Boy, you should know what you fallin' for (you should know)

Baby do you dare to do this?

'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (like a dark horse)

Are you ready for, ready for? (Ready for)

A perfect storm, perfect storm? (A perfect storm)

'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (mine)

(There's no going back)
