I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf
While jacking off listening to mozart
You bitch and moan about LA
Wishing you were in the rain reading Hemingway
You dont eat meat
And drive electrical cars
Youre so indie rock its almost an art
You need SPF 45 just to stay alive
(CHORUS)
Youre so gay and you dont even like boys
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
No you dont even like boys
Youre so gay and you dont even like boys
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
Youre so sad maybe you should buy a happy meal
Youre so skinny you should really Super Size the deal
Secretly youre so amused
That nobody understands you
Im so mean cause I cannot get you outta your head
Im so angry cause youd rather MySpace instead
I cant believe I fell in love with someone that wears more make up than...
(CHORUS)
Youre so gay and you dont even like boys
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
No you dont even like boys
Youre so gay and you dont even like boys
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
(BRIDGE)
You walk around like youre oh so debonair
You pull em' down and theres really nothing there
I wish you would just be real with me
(CHORUS)
Youre so gay and you dont even like boys
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
No you dont even like boys
Youre so gay and you dont even like boys
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
Oh no no no no no no-------
Youre so gay and you dont even like boys
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
No you dont even like boys
Youre so gay and you dont even like boys
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
No you dont even like
PENIS!

About Ur So Gay
When asked about her debut single, Perry said the song was a "soft hello". The song "wasn't meant to be a big single or show what the album is going to be all about. That was for my Internet bloggers, so I'm not coming out of nowhere." Perry's A&R Chris Anokute confirmed this by saying that they had no plans for radio coverage but just wanted to put this "novelty" song out online as an introduction to see "what the attraction was". As expected sales were low, but Anokute said the EP did well in terms of building a press story.
For the release of the single, Perry's label told her to include a cover. She originally wanted to cover a Queen song, but couldn't think of a particularly club-worthy song. While at a club with her friends, The Outfield's "Your Love" was played. Perry said that when the song came on, every girl in the place went onto the dance floor, and she wanted to have that same effect.
Promotion and reception

The song's lyrics have been described in a positive review as "eighteen different kinds of wrong". The song itself has been described as an "emo-bashing anthem that's either horribly homophobic, a sly piece of social commentary or, possibly, both". The St. Petersburg Times writes that the "boyfriend-skewering...isn't homophobic, but it does pummel straight guys who can't handle her edge".
Some critics, however, conclude the song is homophobic. Ugo.com says the song settles for "catchphrase-homophobia" while Allmusic describes the lyrics as "gay-baiting"
