Katy Perry - Long Shot Lyrics
I felt it
The wire touched my neck and
Then someone pulled it tighter
I never saw it coming
I started to black out and
I took it as a warning
I should have seen it coming
So now I'll take a chance on
This thing we may have started
Intentional or not I
Don't think we saw it coming
It's all adding up to something
That asks for some involvement
That asks for a commitment
I think I see it coming
My heart beat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me?
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability
It's a long shot and I say why not
If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat the odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it
There's no chance
'Cause you're the best I've got
So take the long shot
I realize that there is all this doubting
Things we're both scared about but
We'll never see 'em coming
Throw caution to the wind and
We'll see which way it's blowing
And do this fully knowing
We'll never see it coming
'Til it's much too close to stop
My heart beat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me?
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
And all probability
It's a long shot but I say why not
If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat the odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it
There's no chance
'Cause I'm the best you got
So take the long shot
Oh, I waited for fact to come of fiction
And you fit my description
I never saw you coming
But we'll make it even though
It's a long shot but I say why not
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat the odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it
There's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
So take the long shot
You didn't expect this
Oh, you never saw me coming
You didn't expect this
Oh, you never saw this coming
I take the long shot
I take the long shot
Shot, shot, shot, shot
'Cause you're the best I got
Oh, I'm take this chance on you, baby
I'm take this chance on you, baby
I'm taking this chance...

Katy Perry Long Shot Comments
😍😍 omg
i love Katy's unreleased songs!!! this is a masterpiece
Katy Perry is Great! Love all songs :) the older one are very nice!
So good song
In attitude version katy takes it but in vocal kelly still killed it..
Dear God, this is why Katy needs autotune. A for effort though, at least she sings like she means it.
Wtf. Her voice is very different now. And her voice on rock was very different vibe too. She sings like a rockstar sings.
This is te original and best katy perry
This song's a bop
Yes thanks
Yeah girl
Great song
It's not fair how she gets to be so beautiful talented, lovable, funny and smart.... 😭😭😭
Katy has a stronger voice than Kelly so brings more of a punk rock feel
Kelly is a better vocalist but Katy is good too.
Those G5s... 😮
only true Katy fans here
2019 anyone?
Aw, I miss this Katy. :(
I think this was the first song I've heard of hers? Ahhhh.

Katy,
Hey, whats up? Not much here. Just chill'n. Passing time really. Buetiful place San Juan. Nice folks to. Not sure why so many people carry umbrellas when its not raining. Must be a Spanish thing. Anyhow, just stopping by to say hello and tell you someone's thinking of you. Have a nice evening. Sweetdreams. Sleep well. Goodnight. God Bless.
Love,
A Secret Admirer
Tão amor da minha vida a Katy 😍
❤️❤️

MATT <3
I Want Katy Perry Long Shot 2018
i miss her punk style in that time.
Wooooooooooowwww
I felt it
The wire touched my neck
And then someone pulled it tighter
I never saw it coming
I started to black out and
Then someone said good morning
I took it as a warning
I should have seen it coming
So now I'll take a chance on
This thing we may have started
Intentional or not I
Don't think we saw it coming
It's all adding up to something
That asks for some involvement
That asks for a commitment
I think I see it coming
If we step out on that limb
My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability
[Chorus]
It's a long shot and I say why not
If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
but I know if I don't take it there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
So take a long shot
I realize that there is all this doubting
Things we're both scared about but
We'll never see them coming
Throw caution to the wind and
We'll see what way it's blowing
And into this fully knowing
We'll never see it coming
Until it's much too close to stop
[Chorus]
Oh I waited for fact to come to fiction
And you fit my description
I never saw you coming
But we'll make it
[Chorus]
You didn't expect this
Oh you never saw me coming
You didn't expect this
Oh you never saw this coming
I take a long shot
I take a long shot, shot, shot, shot
'Cause you're the best I got
Oh I'm taking this chance on you baby
I'm taking this chance on you baby
I'm taking this chance
Her soul is rockstar.
This video is so cool.
anyone watching in 2017
Katy perry I love you & I love this song...Its me your USMC husband, Im so sorry I hurt you..it wasnt me, I wasnt me & I truly love you.. its me #1ofTheBoys #OneWhoGotAway #Prism #Witness
With a shock of my mind.
I find it hard to see that this was katy.
QUE DELÍCIA DA PORRA!
i love 90's vibe katy perry. well i think she's an amazing artist and enjoying all her albums.
The people saying Kelly's only sounds better because of post-production... Lol. Kelly is literally just talking in the studio version of this song and she doesn't need production to sound like one of the greats. Katy just simply isn't a good vocalist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
THe vocal is not that bad, it's just the entrance
Linda minha katy mesmo numa era que não foi levada a sério pela própria gravadora
Katy Perry 00's>>>>Katy Perry 10's
I love her voice like this, I don't care if people think they sound horrible, cuz in my opinion the vocals in this era are good
I love the uniqueness of Katy's voice in this song. Some may hate it but I really like it. It's very unique and defining.
I'm not KatyCat now. aswıpofdjawsoıdfjm
She never ever gave up,
even when she was homeless
The song beggin at 0:16
Hailey williams with a black Hair..
she so young. i watching in 2017
I want Matt to sing this song so bad!!!
I miss her this style
Idgi…why shoot and release a video with what sounds like a rough mix of the song? Bizarre
In this song her attitude is like a pop version of Shirley Manson-Garbage. Cool!
I love her voice
Bella ragazza semplice💗💜🍀🌺💐😄
Its a long shot and I said ... WYNAUT xD
Sunddenly,she becoming my Lucky girl...
I felt it.
The wire touched my neck and
Then someone pulled it tighter
I never saw it coming
I started to black out and
Then someone said good morning
I took it as a warning
I should have seen it coming
So now I’ll take a chance on
This thing we may have started
Intentional or not I
Don’t think we saw it coming
It’s all adding up to something
That as of some involvement
That as for our commitment
I think I see it coming
If we step out on that limb
My heart beat, beats me senselessly
Why’s everything got to be so intense with me
I’m trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability
It’s a long shot and I say why not
If I say forget it I know that I’ll regret it
It’s a long shot just to beat the odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it there's no chance
Cuz you're the best I've got
So take the long shot
I realize that there is all this starting
That we're both scared about but
We’ll never see them coming
Throw caution to the wind and
We’ll see which way it's blowing
And to this pulling on
We’ll never see it coming
'Til it's much to close to stop
My heart beat, beats me senselessly
Why’s everything got to be so intense with me
I’m trying to handle all this unpredictability
And all probability
It’s a long shot but I say why not
If I say forget it
I know that I’ll regret it
It’s a long shot just to beat the odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it
There's no chance
Cuz I’m the best you got
So take the long shot
What a pleasant surprise
What a breath of fresh air
You knock the wind out of me
Blindsided and so unaware
Ahaa, ahaa, ahaa
Oh I waited for fact to come of fiction
And you fit my description
I never saw you coming
But we'll make it even though
It’s a long shot but I say why not
If I say forget it
I know that I’ll regret it
It’s a long shot just to beat the odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it there's no chance
Cuz you're the best I got
So take the long shot
You didn't expect this
Oh you never saw me coming
You didn't expect this
Oh you never saw this coming
I take the long shot
I take the long shot, shot, shot, shot, shot
Cuz you're the best I got
Oh I’m take this chance on you baby
I’m take this chance on you baby
I’m taking this chance
Katy is so young, like a innocent girl, so cute!
KATY PERRY WITHOUT AUTOTUNE 😀
It's amazing what happens when you take someone like Katy Perry, think she's a great singer, then compare it to someone who really can sing (Kelly Clarkson).
Katy really can too, every person has a singing style
Paul Wolf ur funny. Katy has talent too. Listen to “Save As Draft” live. Katy can sing. Listen to her unplugged album. I know it’s hard to hear sometimes, but put it at full blast. Good luck bud.
This has more emotion and is raw. Kelly’s was commercial.
It's so strange sang by her,but Katy acted really cute
I would die hearing Katy doing more newer stuff like this.
She tried SO many genres (One Of The Boys was more rockisch, Teenage Dream Plastic Pop, Prism was soft pop/a tiiiiiny bit experimental (Legendary Lovers, Spiritual, Choose Your Battles)) and I feel the most fitting music was the time before she got famous. I'm not trying to be nostalgic.. it's just that to me this sound sounds most Katy Perry to me.. you can hear the same sound in her songs "Weigh Me Down", "Box", "Diamonds" and "Fingerprints".. sigh
I know. Still, i'd love to hear her going back to her roots because there was enough bubbly pop with Teenage Dream and Prism. Not that those records are bad, I think musicially they have some diamonds (E.T, Who Am I Living For?, Pearl, Grace Of God, Spiritual), but when I think of Katys signature sound.. i can't think of one because she's always doing something different. It's good to try new stuff, but it's also good do have your own sound you know? :/
One of the boys album and her unreleased songs are the bests
Relya I know! Her unique voice works way better with rock!
Well now imo witness is being pretty true to who she rly is and what type of music she rly wants to do
Queen Katy Perry! We love you! Brazil loves you! 💙
Poor M@
diosa😍😍😘
weird to see after years my channels upload of this video is still the first response on YouTube. Also I wonder WHEN YT put ads on the video. interesting.
I love this song.. i Love all the old songs of katy perry before of one of the boys
As much as I miss these old amazing songs I still love Katy Perry old or new...
Sprinkly Donuts same
вначале показалось,что это клэп))
I knew Katy was not the oneof the best famele singers around.But This is so awful and annoying.
She needs to do more rock related songs. Those are my most favorites from Katy. She has such a perfect voice for it that it practically gives me the chills. This is soo good. :o
this was katy's song originally and i love her version so much better than kelly's lol
honestly, I heard this version before I heard Kelly's version and, not that Kelly's is bad or anything, cuz it's not, but I love this version like 10 times better. this and I Do Not Hook Up, I love all Katy's stuff from back before she became as famous as she is, like her christian stuff too, like Faith Won't Fail, I love that.
This version is raw. And she sings it like she means it. Kelly is amazing tho
This is a pretty amazing original version. I'd love to hear Katy perform it today. :)
Is it weird that I like katy's version than Kelly's own??😳
This mine & Kathryn song-story of us getting married #VOW & our weeding night....The Good morning is me sneaking up on her after I left the church in Hot n Cold but I came right back & said "Good Morning"
caution too the wind..IS POPPING SMOKE IN THE USMC, i am her marine
FYI this song is about & too me #HerMarine
She gave it too kelly bc those 2 were roommates in Swansboro NC which is a HOP-SKIP & A JUMP from my Marine Corps Base
But I anyways, I always told my wife #KatyPerry that I would never listen too or watch her videos bc my wedding VOWS " Katheryn Hudson-I choose you for you, youre the love that I choose & I love you for you" you4you & NOT KATY PERRY but this was after we broke up..so she gave it too Kelly In the HOPES THAT I WOULD HEAR IT...but 2008 I never saw this song until Aug 8-9th 2017
"Caution TOO THE WIND" is popping smoke in the United States Marine Corps..when we were getting married I WAS SCARED SHITLESS & that was the phrase she used to calm me down
"Someone Said GOOD MORNING" That the actual true event where Katy CHASED ME OUT OF A CHURCHS PARKING LOT..I left & went 1k yards up the road & came back.. I parked 50 yards away in the next parking lot over & I watched her flip out for 5-10 minutes & then I said fk it, lets do this....SO I EXIT my explore (not a mustang-1whogot AWAY) snuck up on her & said GOOD MORNING
Kelly Clarkson's entire ALBUM #AlliEVERwanted is about me & the horrible time I had returning from war...also that entire album in pretty much all written by Katy Perry, kelly was my friend-drinking buddy & katys ROOmmate.....Listen to her song kelly #IfnoOneWillListen.....also "the day we fell apart" is the prelude too #OneWhoGotAway which is about me
SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love old song,your family Angela Hudson,David Hudson,Mary Hudson katy perry and Katherin Elizaveth Hudson very very very very very veryyy loveeee ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ she is beautifull
Those vocals are fucking horrible. Thank GOD for autotune.
Relient K for life!
This was originally Katy's song (because she wrote it), but then she gave it to Kelly Clarkson.
I'm confident that Matt Theisen wrote it.
She wrote it with two others, don't remember their names
247Deluxe247 katy wrote it then the other two finished it off.
Mais "rock" que Avril
I'm sorry but she stinks in this. BTW that IS Matthew Thiessan from Relient K playing guitar back there. little known fact, MAtt and she dated for a while, but they ended up breaking up, for reasons that can be found in Relient K's song "The One I'm Waiting For"
You know a lot of gossip, unfortunately not more. Katy totally rocks with this, it shows how unique she is.
but in a live show matt said "this song is for katy perry"
Little known fact? No: They've known each other for a long time from the Christian music scene.
Katy's was better. She puts all of herself into it, and really feels the words, and brings the attitude, so it's really real, that she is taking a long shot on success.
this is just the demo version, Kelly's sounds way better because of all the post production, nevertheless, the lyrics are insane.
@Javier Segura nono way katy's version is a hundred times better though you call it a "DEMO" it isn't! why a demo should have a videoclip?
Kelly's version was changed for obvious reasons.
+Gabriella Sarandon lol if she sang this, in this exact way for The Voice or X Factor, dyu think she'd be selected? xD
Lmao Kelly is nowhere near this pitchy live...post-production ain't got a damn thing to do with it.
Reliant K is AWESOME!
as a KatyCat (I love Kelly Clarkson too) I have to say Kelly Clarkson's version light years better than Katy's
Katy doesn't have a finished version of this. The way she sings it is powerful and so unique you wouldn't say this if there was a proper edition of it.
I love her old songs
You shoulda saw mine & katy's love shack that night
