Not Like the Movies Lyrics

Cover art for Not Like the Movies lyrics by Katy Perry

Yeah, it's about how things should be perfect, and will be when you meet your perfect match, and we shouldn't believe we are in love just because we need to be or think that whoever your dating or whatever is what you deserve. So, she's saying being in love should be like the movies. Love this song!

@meinthemirror I disagree ... I think it is actually saying the opposite. The love shown in movies is "edited, unrealistic, etc."

Hollywood has set such high standards for what love is (and sex). But these are neither realistic or attainable. Because in real life there is this thing called reality!!
