P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's what's up
Some people like the summer when it's hot
Some people like the winter cold
Some people speak their minds when they want to
And some other people ain't so bold
You should do you should do with your head held high
So when you're doing you're thing it's cause you want to
And they never can ask you why
[Chorus: x2]
I say
Do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
Cause it's your life
Gotta make your own rules
And you gotta do it, do it your own way
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Some like it easy when others they like it rough
But ain't nobody gotta like it but you
Girl, boy, boy, girl, girl, girl, boy, boy
Whatever, you should do what you do
How can they tell you that you could or should?
Would or wouldn't
Well ask 'em can they walk in your shoes
Cause it's your life and you do what you want to
And remember baby it's all about you
[Chorus: x2]
[Bridge]
[Repeat: x2]
So if it's on your mind
Then you should speak your piece
And say what ya say
And if you want it done
Then you should get it done
And do it your way
[Chorus: x2]
[Bridge: x2]
[Chorus: x2]

She goes on to compare how people have different preferences about seasons or expressing their thoughts and feelings, and highlights the fact that there is not just one right way of doing things. The crux of the message lies in the chorus, where she urges the listener to take charge and make their own rules, live their own life, and carve their own path.
To further drive the point home, she adds that people can prefer different things, such as easy or rough, boys or girls, but ultimately it is their decision and nobody else's. She then warns against people who might try to dictate or interfere, saying that nobody can tell you what to do or how to lead your life. Whatever you want to do or be, do it proudly and confidently. The song ends with a final burst of affirmation, urging the listener to speak their mind and get things done in their own way.
