Is it love
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you feel good when I hurt
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
Mommy help me, I need your help
This little boy, he took my love
And he says these things that make my body pump up
And I don't understand
For sex he said he'd be my man
Is it love, or just a curse
Do you feel good when I hurt
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
Daddy listen, I gave it up
I'm not your little girl
My cherry, and all the trust is missing
But please listen, what do I do
I know you wanna hurt him
But I like what he do, he's only doin' what you used to
Is it love, or just a curse
Do you feel good when I hurt
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
You never told me bout the birds and the bees
Or bout hide n' go seek or what he gets when he finds me
The biggest mistakes in the choices I make
Won't you help me decide, what's goin' down in my mind
Is it love, or just a curse
Do you feel good when I hurt
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
Is it love, or just a curse
Do you feel good when I hurt
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
That thing you're puttin' on me
Has got me so confused
Won't somebody help me, tell me what should I do
In my heart it feels so good, is it just a curse
Will it get better, or will it get worse
Is it love, or just a curse
Do you feel good when I hurt
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
Is it love, or just a curse
Do you feel good when I hurt
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
In "Is It Love," P!nk sings about the confusion and vulnerability that can come with being in a relationship. The opening lines ask a painful question - is the love real, or is it just a curse? The singer is unsure whether her partner truly loves her, or whether he just enjoys seeing her suffer. The chorus makes it clear that she wants the love to be real, and she needs her partner to open up and show that he truly cares for her.
The song also touches on issues of trust and parental guidance. The singer admits to her mother that she's been hurt by her partner, and to her father that she's given up her innocence for him. Both parents are unsure how to help her, as they may have experienced similar pain themselves. The lack of guidance the singer has received is symbolized by the line "you never told me bout the birds and the bees." She's making important but confusing choices on her own, and she's not sure if the love she's feeling is healthy or destructive.
Overall, "Is It Love" is a poignant and relatable exploration of the ups and downs of relationships. The singer is struggling to navigate her feelings and desires while also recognizing the signs of a potentially damaging relationship. These lyrics may resonate with anyone who has questions about the authenticity of their own love, or who is working to build a stronger and healthier connection with their partner.
Line by Line Meaning
Is it love, or just a curse
I'm not sure if this feeling I have is real love or just a bad spell
Do you feel good when I hurt
I'm concerned that you may like causing me pain
I need your heart to open up
I want you to be honest with me and reveal your true feelings
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
If this relationship isn't genuine, I am out of luck
Mommy help me, I need your help
I am seeking guidance and support from a maternal figure
This little boy, he took my love
I have given my love and trust to a guy who may be untrustworthy
And he says these things that make my body pump up
He uses language to get me excited, but I'm not sure if he's sincere
But then he runs leavin' me undone
After he gets what he wants, he quickly leaves me feeling used and incomplete
And I don't understand
I am confused and unsure of what to do
For sex he said he'd be my man
He made empty promises of commitment to get me to have sex with him
Daddy listen, I gave it up
I have lost my innocence and need the support of a paternal figure
I'm not your little girl
I am no longer a child and need a different type of guidance
My cherry, and all the trust is missing
I have lost my virginity and my confidence in my own judgment
But please listen, what do I do
I need advice and don't know how to proceed
I know you wanna hurt him
I am aware of my dad's protective instincts but want to make my own choices
But I like what he do, he's only doin' what you used to
I enjoy my boyfriend's behavior even though it's similar to what my dad did in the past
You never told me bout the birds and the bees
I never received any comprehensive information about sex and relationships
Or bout hide n' go seek or what he gets when he finds me
I am lacking guidance on how to navigate romantic situations and their consequences
The biggest mistakes in the choices I make
I am aware that my decisions have a significant impact on my life
Won't you help me decide, what's goin' down in my mind
I need someone to help me sort through my thoughts and emotions
That thing you're puttin' on me
I am feeling pressured and uncomfortable by something my boyfriend is doing
Has got me so confused
I am at a loss for what to do or how to feel
Won't somebody help me, tell me what should I do
I am reaching out for support and advice
In my heart it feels so good, is it just a curse
I am conflicted because I have intense feelings, but I don't know if they are positive or negative
Will it get better, or will it get worse
I am unsure about the future of this relationship and how I will feel in the long run
