Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade away
‘Cause you chew me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
That was then and this is now
Now look at me
[Chorus:]
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw sticks and stones, throw your bombs and bones
You’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
I just want to throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
You rip me off your love is cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep and you look me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me
[Chorus]
Now look at me I’m sparkling
I’m a firework, a dancing flame
You’ll never put me out again
I’m glowin’ oh ah oh
So you can keep the diamond ring
It don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything yeah yeah
Except for me
[Chorus x2]
“Part of Me” would be a solid ode to post-breakup empowerment. BUT Perry already killed her feminist cred by nipple-blasting whipped cream. Also, the ‘girl-power+uptempo-dance’ formula was done better by non-whores Gloria Gaynor, Cher and Kelly Clarkson, whose locket symbolism Perry’s video copied).
