[Verse 1]
My mama warned me about boys like you
It’s the reason I wear these steel toed boots, yeah
And let me give you a little piece of advice
My papa packs heat and he won’t think twice, yeah

[Verse 2]
Well, why do you think they call me Jessie James?
Too much trouble better stay away
Grab your hat, better get gone
But if you stay, you’ve been warned

[Chorus]
I’m a bullet and I’m headed
Straight for you heart (yeah)
Be careful what you start!
I’m a bullet and I’m headed
Straight for you heart (yeah)
It’s gonna leave a mark!

[Verse 3]
Well, every now and then I make a man break a sweat
Watch him work overtime on my wristbands (yeah)
Cause I’m the kinda girl that you wanna show off
I’ll tell ’em all your friends with a southern drawl (yeah)

[Verse 4]
Well, why do you think they call me Jessie James?
Sweet as a peach, impossible to tame
Fingers on the trigger and you’ll be to blame
Cause if you stay

[Chorus]
I’m a bullet and I’m headed
Straight for you heart (yeah)
Be careful what you start!
I’m a bullet and I’m headed
Straight for you heart (yeah)
It’s gonna leave a mark!

[Verse 5]
I’ll ride where the wind wants to take me
Leaving lovers in the dust every city
'Cause my heart was like a ghost town baby
And now I've met a man that breaks me

[Bridge]
My mama warned me about boys like you
It’s the reason I wear these steel toed boots

[Chorus]
I’m a bullet and I’m headed
Straight for you heart (yeah)
Be careful what you start!
I'm a bullet and I’m headed
Straight for you heart (yeah)
It’s gonna leave a mark!
Straight for you heart (yeah, yeah)
I'm a bullet and I’m headed
Straight for you heart (yeah)
It’s gonna leave a mark!

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”.
