Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was all a bunch of mush that I just did not want
Paid was the issue of the day
If a girlfriend's got some game
Couldn't be more fly, gettin' paid was everything
But I'm not every girl and I don't need that world to validate me
Cuz shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
I was a girl about the floss
It was all about the cost, how much he spent on me
Seek, for a man who's got the means
To be givin' you diamond rings
It's what every fly girl could want or even dream
But I'm not every girl and I don't need no G to take care of me
Cuz shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart, no no
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
But I'm not every girl
And I don't need no G to take care of me, no
'Cause shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart, oh most girls
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
'Cause I'm not most girls, don't wanna dance if he can't be everything
I, I just want real love, said I gotta have real love
Everything that, can you be everything that I dream of
In “Most Girls,” P!nk speaks about how women do not need men to provide for them financially; they can provide for themselves. She rejects the idea of a man being the only solution to financial stability, stating that she has a job, car, and can pay her own rent. P!nk views real love as what is truly valuable in a relationship, not the amount of money a man has. She does not want a man who is only interested in buying her expensive gifts because she would rather have someone who understands her, her thoughts, and her dreams.
P!nk targets women who have low standards for themselves, as she sings about how “not every girl” wants to depend on a man’s wealth to feel successful or happy. She promotes independence and self-sufficiency, and how women should believe in their own abilities to provide for themselves. She encourages women to be independent and to not let anyone else validate their self-worth.
Line by Line Meaning
I never cared too much for love
Love was never a priority for me
It was all a bunch of mush that I just did not want
I found love to be overly emotional and unappealing
Paid was the issue of the day
Money was the main concern
If a girlfriend's got some game
If a woman has a certain level of skill or confidence
Couldn't be more fly, gettin' paid was everything
Being attractive and making money were the top priorities
But I'm not every girl and I don't need that world to validate me
I'm different and don't require societal standards to feel complete
Cuz shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
I'm independent and self-sufficient
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart
I don't want to do something that doesn't align with my true desires
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Many women desire a man with wealth and material possessions
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I have my own success and financial stability
I just want real love
I crave genuine affection and connection
Most girls want a man with the mean green
A lot of women seek a man with financial resources
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
I won't settle for someone who doesn't fulfill all of my desires
A man that understands real love
I want someone who comprehends what true love means
I was a girl about the floss
I used to be obsessed with flaunting wealth and extravagant spending
It was all about the cost, how much he spent on me
The value of a man was based on how much he could spend on me
Seek, for a man who's got the means
I searched for a man with wealth and resources
To be givin' you diamond rings
Someone who can give expensive gifts like diamond rings
But I'm not every girl and I don't need no G to take care of me
I don't need a wealthy man to provide for me
'Cause shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
I can support myself and don't rely on anyone else financially
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Many women desire a man with wealth and material possessions
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart, no no
I won't do something that doesn't feel right to me
'Cause I'm not most girls, don't wanna dance if he can't be everything
I'm unique and won't settle for a man who doesn't meet my standards
I, I just want real love, said I gotta have real love,
I strongly desire true, authentic love
Everything that, can you be everything that I dream of
I'm searching for someone who can fit all my desires and expectations
