My Signature Move
P!nk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a way
Of making everything a confrontation
And you've got a way
Of bringing out the worst in me

You see it's just if I'm bored
I'll find a way to make an accusation
I've got a problem with more

So gimme, gimme everything

Stop! Not my fault, not at all!
I can't help you! What you want?
Get in line! Take a number!
Get you when the song is over
If you leave it up to me
I'll make a lie out of truth
It's true!
And then I'll break it up
Make it bleed, tell you that it's you not me
Make a scene
At a show, just because the wind blows
Shoot myself in the foot
To make a point I can't prove
To get back to you
That's just my signature move

You call me crazy
And I think it's mean I just don't like it
I'm just a sensitive baby
And you need to please me right

You know I said I would change
I did, I went and tried a different outfit
And if that's not enough
You won't be riding dirty tonight

Stop! Not my fault, not at all!
I can't help you! What you want?
Get in line! Take a number!
Get you when my song is over
If you leave it up to me
I'll make a lie out of truth
It's true!
And then I'll break it up
Make it bleed, tell you that it's you not me,
Make a scene at a show
Just because the wind blows
Shoot myself in the foot
To make a point I can't prove
To get back to you, (yeah)
That's just my signature move

That's just my signature move
You're just my signature move
That's just my signature move

I start fights in my dreams
I ki-ki-kick off the sheets
I don't apologize
Or you wouldn't see it in my eyes

I'm not a good best friend
If there's a rule, I will bend
Now makes it trouble for you
It's all I know how to do
I'm not responsib' stop!

Not my fault, not at all!
I can't help you! What you want?
Get in line! Take a number!
Get you when my song is over
If you leave it up to me
I'll make a lie out of truth
It's true!
And then I'll break it up
Make it bleed, tell you that it's you not me
Make a scene at a show, just because the wind blows
Shoot myself in the foot
To make a point I can't prove

To get it back to you
That's just my signature move
