Hummingbird Heartbeat
Katy Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make me feel like I'm losing my virginity
The first time, every time when you touchin' me
I make you bloom like the flower that you never seen
Under the sun we are one buzzin' energy

Let's pollinate to create a family tree
This evolution with you comes naturally
Some call it science (science)
We call it chemistry
This is the story of the birds and the bees

Even the seasons change
Our love still stays the same

You give me that
Hummingbird heartbeat
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat

Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat

I've flown a million miles, just to find a magic seed
A white flower, with the power to bring life to me
You're so exotic, get my whole body fluttering
Constantly craving for a taste of your sticky sweet
Always on the brink of a heart attack
You gave me alive and keep me coming back
I see the sun rise in your eyes, your eyes
We've got a future full of blue skies, blue skies

Even when seasons change
I'm still stay the same

You give me that
Hummingbird heartbeat
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the Hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat

Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat

You love me, you love me never love me not (no, no)
Not (no, no) oh no
When we're in perfect harmony
You make me sound like, like a symphony

Oh your wings could make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat

Hummingbird heartbeat
Oh, spread my wings and make me fly (fly)
The taste of your honey is so sweet (oh)
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat

Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat (hey)
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat (hey yeah)




Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat (hey, hey yeah)
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat

These innuendos are so painfully obvious to the adult mind that it hurts to listen to this song again. I'm shivering from how blatant Katy was in this song.

@zlinedavid

Makes "If You Seek Amy" seem downright innocent.

@BenjiXAddictX4Ever

Peacock is even worse, Katy was really dirty during the Teenage Dream Era.

@paulvalentine3440

@@BenjiXAddictX4Ever Oh lord no doubt huh???

@mrkrabs5039

it's pretty obvious to the teenage mind too tbh

@mountainlion4156

Yo. This is one of my favorite song back then, literally just remembering this song now. I think I might be aware of how dirty this song back then just hearing "Virginity" still, I like it tho
