Perfect
P!NK (PINK) Lyrics

You're so mean when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you are less than, less than fuckin' perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me

The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try
But we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don{t like my jeans; they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that

Why do I do that?
Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty baby
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fuckin' perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fuckin' perfect to me, yeah
You're perfect, you're perfect

Oh pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothin' you're fuckin' perfect to me

In "Perfect," P!NK touches on themes of self-acceptance and self-confidence. The lyrics speak to the experiences of feeling like an outsider and making mistakes, but ultimately realizing that those things contribute to who you are and that you are "fucking perfect" just as you are. P!NK acknowledges the struggles and hardships she's faced, including making bad decisions, being misunderstood, and feeling mistreated. Despite these experiences, she urges listeners not to feel like they are less than perfect and to change the voices in their head that tell them otherwise.

The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, repeating the phrase "pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel like you're less than fucking perfect" twice. The repetition of these words emphasizes P!NK's message of self-love and acceptance and serves as a reminder to listeners that they are worthy just as they are.

Made a wrong turn, once or twice
I've made some mistakes in my life.

Dug my way out, blood and fire
I had to fight hard to overcome those mistakes.

Bad decisions, that's alright
It's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them.

Welcome to my silly life
This is just who I am and I'm okay with that.

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Sometimes people don't understand me or treat me well.

Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down
I keep on going even when people don't believe in me.

Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
I doubt myself but I know that I'm capable of more than people think.

Look, I'm still around
Despite everything, I'm still here and successful.

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel Like you are less than, less than fuckin' perfect
You are perfect just the way you are and don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.

Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing You're fuckin' perfect to me
Even if you don't feel like you're worth much, you are perfect in my eyes.

You're so mean when you talk about yourself, you were wrong Change the voices in your head make them like you instead
Stop criticizing yourself and replace those negative thoughts with positive ones.

So complicated, look happy, you'll make it Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
Life is complicated but if you focus on the positive, you'll get through it. Hatred only brings you down.

It's enough, I've done all I can think of Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same
I've done everything I can to improve myself and I know you have too.

The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
We're all afraid sometimes but it's important to not let that control us.

So cool in line, and we try try try But we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
We often try to fit in and please others but sometimes it's not worth it and we should just be ourselves.

Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere They don{t like my jeans; they don't get my hair
I'm not going to listen to people who criticize me for things that don't matter.

Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time Why do we do that? Why do I do that
We often try to be someone different in order to fit in but we should embrace who we are instead.

Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty baby
This line is simply a term of endearment.

You're perfect, you're perfect
Reiterating that you are perfect just the way you are.

Oh pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel Like you're nothin' you're fuckin' perfect to me
Again, emphasizing that even if you feel like you're worth nothing, you are still perfect in someone's eyes.
