You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know

And you over think
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 then you're out
You're up then 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 want to stay, no
(You) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then 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 nothing
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 then you're out
You're up then 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 want to stay, no
(You) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
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 then you're out
You're up then 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 then you're out
You're up then 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 want to stay, no
(You) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, down.

    Lyric Correction:Does anyone else think its "(but you) you should really wanna go?"

    listened to a screwed version of this (slowed down the pace) and it really sounds like 'should' and not 'dont'.

    General Comment:I love this song! I don't really like Katy Perry, but this song is just so relatable for all the girls who have been in bipolar relationships!

    My ex-bf was so like the person in this song! And it so describes our relationship. Katy couldn't have done better writing this song ;D!

    This is a great song. It's good to listen to when your having relationship issues. How many times have you heard this same story?

    General Comment:i don't exactly know why but i keep playing this song over and over again on Utube but I've listened to it probably 25 or 30 times in the last 3 days. The groove is completely mesmerizing. About once every 5 years or so i get completely addicted to a song then finally after about 6 months the addiction fades. But its fun while you are still in the state of completely digging a song.

    General Comment:This song makes me want to put a bullet through my head. For one thing, the lyrics are so childish the only way people could possibly enjoy them is through a repetitive, brainwashing rhythm. Second, it makes me sick to think that this is the kind of shit nowadays that is spewing out of the radio stations like diarrhea.

    General Comment:This song could only be written in a third-rate Jr. High School wood shop class... and only be enjoyed in a diseased monkey's ass.
