While many people may think the song makes her sound like a gold digger, she could mean the exact opposite (as in she doesn't care about his money at all)
The lines "If you want me, it takes more than a wink,
And more than a drink and more than you think." and
"If you want me, I�m not a piece of ass, a one night stand, a storage ship"
could actually mean that she CANT be bought with money, and that it takes more than money to be with her, like actual love.
And the lines "If you want me you�re gonna have to break the bank, tonight." and
"If you wanna ride, just name your price don�t play cheap, with your heart"
could actually mean, she wants him to give her all his love and without holding back (she doesn't just want some)
Also "Cause some don�t have the patience, some call me high-maintenance
But you pay the bill, cause, that�s the deal."
could mean that she Knows she's not exactly perfect, but he'll have to deal with some things she cant change, cause that's what love is.
And by 'high-maintenace' she could mean the amount of effort and not the amount of money.
"If you want me, then stop begging I don�t put out for charity
If you want me there�s no discount price tonight"
could mean that she's not going to comprise for anything less than love.
and the lines"But I don�t need your dollar bills I just want something real
Cause, nothing�s free, except a lovin� me"
clearly indicate that she's not after his money.
"Don�t make a bet if you can�t write the check, for me, for me"
could mmean don't promise her something you can't give her.
and finally "Cause I can be bought, but you�ll pay the cost
If you can afford me"
could mean she's available but only if he's willing to do all the above mentioned things.
sthe meaning could be completely different from what you first think when you hear it.
OR this could just be a Very positive interpretation of the song and Katy could actually be a whore. =/
(which she is NOT)
