First of all we'll just get that verse correctly, from the lyric sheet it reads:
"When we first met,
We passed around gifts,
That was a long time ago,
And your's didn't fit"
Any way here are my thoughts on what this song is about.
A little while ago I read a fascinating story of how Perry used the proceeds of the Jane's reunion tour to buy the freebom of 30,000 sudanese slaves at $3 a pop, somewhere in the region of $100, 000 all in. Now this was never used as a means to promote the tour or the band, it was leaked later on. Therefor Perry had done this great act of charity JUST BECAUSE. Now look at other fortunate people, specifically celebrities, when a celebrity gets involved in a good cause they make sure everybody knows about it because it is really good publicity. So that is not doing anything JUST BECAUSE that is having an agenda.
So to recap Perry rocks, celebrity publicity whores suck.
