F**kin' Perfect
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down.
Underestimated, look I'm still around
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than f***ing perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're f***ing perfect to me
You're so mean (so mean) when you talk (when you talk)
About yourself. You were wrong.
Change the voices (change the voices) in your head (in your head)
Make them like you instead.
So complicated,
Look how we all make it.
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
(Oh oh)
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than f***ing perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're f***ing 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 lying 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, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than f***ing perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're f***ing perfect to me
(You're perfect, you're perfect)
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're f***ing perfect to me.
The song "F**kin' Perfect" by P!nk is an empowering anthem that encourages listeners to accept and love themselves for who they are, flaws and all. The lyrics speak to the struggles and hardships we face in life, including making mistakes, feeling misunderstood, and dealing with self-doubt. However, the song ultimately promotes self-love and acceptance, reminding listeners that they are "perfect" just the way they are.
The opening lines of the song convey a sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. While the singer may have made mistakes and taken wrong turns, they have managed to "dig [their] way out" through perseverance and resilience. The lines "Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood / Miss 'No way, it's all good'" speak to the frustration of feeling like you don't fit in or that no one understands you. Despite this, the singer refuses to let these experiences define them, declaring, "It didn't slow me down."
The chorus is the most memorable part of the song, with P!nk repeating the phrase "You're f***ing perfect to me." The lyrics encourage listeners to reject society's standards of beauty and perfection, reminding them that they are valuable and worthy just as they are. The lines "Change the voices in your head / Make them like you instead" are particularly powerful, urging listeners to reject negative self-talk and to start being kinder to themselves.
Line by Line Meaning
Made a wrong turn once or twice
I've made mistakes and gone down the wrong path a few times
Dug my way out, blood and fire
But I've always been able to find a way out, even if I had to fight for it
Bad decisions, that's alright
It's okay to make mistakes, that's how we learn and grow
Welcome to my silly life
This is just a part of my life story, and I can't take it too seriously
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
I've been through tough times and felt like no one understood me
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
But I always put on a brave face and pretended everything was fine
It didn't slow me down.
But even when things got tough, I kept going
Mistaken, always second guessing
I've doubted myself and my abilities
Underestimated, look I'm still around
But I've proved my doubters wrong and I'm still here, standing strong
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
I want to remind you that you're amazing, and you should never doubt yourself
Like you're less than f***ing perfect
No matter what anyone says, you're never less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
If you ever feel down, please remember that you're still amazing
Like you're nothing, you're f***ing perfect to me
You may feel like you're nothing, but to me, you're still perfect
You're so mean (so mean) when you talk (when you talk)
You're too hard on yourself and you say negative things about yourself
About yourself. You were wrong.
But those negative thoughts are wrong, and you need to change them
Change the voices (change the voices) in your head (in your head)
You need to change the way you talk to yourself
Make them like you instead.
Start thinking positively and liking yourself for who you are
So complicated,
Life can be very difficult
Look how we all make it.
But we all find a way to make it through our struggles
Filled with so much hatred.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of hate in the world
Such a tired game
But we're all tired of playing that game of hating ourselves and others
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
I've tried everything I can think of to improve and be happy
Chased down all my demons
I've confronted and overcome my inner demons
I've seen you do the same
And I believe you can do it too
Oh, pretty, pretty, pretty
You're beautiful just the way you are
You're perfect, you're perfect
And no one can convince me otherwise
