[Chorus]
I'm gonna love ya until you hate me
And I'm gonna show ya what's really crazy
You should've known better than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby (Baby, baby, baby)

[Verse 1]
I got my little black dress on, and some blood red nails
Yeah, I'm packed with poison
Going out for the kill
'Cause I made a mistake
Yeah, I kissed a snake
Now my hourglass shape's gonna seal your fate

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
But this is the web, web that you weaved
So, baby, now rest in peace

[Chorus]
I'm gonna love ya until you hate me (Yeah)
And I'm gonna show ya what's really crazy (Yeah)
You should've known better than to mess with me harder (Yeah)
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby (Baby, baby, baby)

[Verse 2]
Oh, little did you know
When you cross the line
That I'ma triple Scorpio, with a wicked bite
Ooh, can you feel the sting?
It's paralyzing
Now you're stuck with me
'Cause you fucked with me

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
But this is the web, web that you weaved
So, baby, now rest in peace

[Chorus]
I'm gonna love ya until you hate me (Yeah)
And I'm gonna show ya what's really crazy (Yeah)
You should've known better than to mess with me harder (Yeah)
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby (Baby, baby, baby)

Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth “Katy” Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, businesswoman, philanthropist, and actress. She was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California. Having had very little exposure to mainstream pop music in her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teen and released her debut self-titled studio album in 2001. She also recorded a second solo album in 2005, (A) Katy Perry, which was scrapped.

Afterwards, Perry (her mother’s maiden name, taken to avert confusion with Kate Hudson) reinvented herself as a party girl pop star, breaking out with 2008’s One of the Boys and the #1 hits “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold”.

Follow-up Teenage Dream (2010) equalled Michael Jackson’s record of five chart-toppers on the same album, and made Perry even more ubiquotous in the pop landscape. Following her marriage and eventual divorce from British comedian Russell Brand, she released an updated version, Teenage The Complete Confection and concert film Katy Part of Me in 2012. She released her fourth album, Prism, in 2013, along with some standalone singles, such as “Rise”.
