Revenge
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Abel in that Bible bit
Revenge is sweet isn't it?
I really, really hope for it
I know that it won't fix a thing
A song like this that I could sing for you
All the feels you make me do
A nightmare fucking coming true
Sue you, take your dog, take your house, take your shoes, take your heart
Now here comes that singing part
I'm daydreaming
Let me count the ways (let me count the ways)
How I'll get you (get you) or how I'll make you pay
Babe, I'm hurtin' (hurtin')
And now you'll feel the same
That's my plan (that's my plan)
That's my plan
That's my plan
We could do revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet
We could do revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet
Now here's where girlfriends come in hand
Especially those that understand
Crime's a crime but listen man
Really cannot give a damn
We've all been through this kind of thing
Say the word we make it sting for him
He can't just get away with it
Eye for eye you piece of shit
You treat us like a garbage pit
Let me at him, wait for it, wait for it
Here comes that singing part
I'm daydreaming (I'm daydreaming)
Let me count the ways (let me count the ways)
How I'll get you (I'll get you)
Or how I'll make you pay (you pay)
Babe, I'm hurtin' (I'm hurtin')
And now you'll feel the same (feel the same)
That's my plan
That's my plan
That's my plan
We could do revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet
We could do revenge revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet (revenge is sweet)
Well, in the beginning we felt like we was meant to be
I fell for you and skinned my knee, but hell with any injury
Eventually you'll get up gingerly
It feels like it'll take a century to heal, but just know that I will
But fuck trying to make amends, I'd rather take revenge
You're stickin' safety pins inside my atrium, your day begins at 8 p.m.
You hit the ATM in my Mercedes Benz with all your lady friends, whores
Hit the club and you go out don't know a sum
'Cause when I calculate the times you cheated and total up all the amounts
It doesn't add up 'cause you say that just giving out your number doesn't count (I hate you)
Then see me with someone new get mad and flip it look how bad you spin it
First you turn your back on me then tell me that I stabbed you in it
Stabbed you in it (stabbed you in it, stabbed you in it, stabbed you in it, stabbed you in it)
Slut!
So when you're driving, driving to his house
And you pass me while I'm driving to hers
Just remember
You cheated on me first
You're a whore, you're a whore
This is war
Fellas, ladies
We could do revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet (so sweet, oh)
We could do revenge revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet (fuck, yeah!) (Fuck, no!)
The song "Revenge" by P!nk features revenge as its central theme. The lyrics are about seeking vengeance on someone who has wronged the singer - possibly an ex-lover or friend - and the feelings that come with it. The opening lines refer to well-known characters who have taken revenge in literature and film, Leo in "The Revenant" and Abel in the Bible. The singer hopes for revenge, acknowledging that it won't solve anything but will feel good in the moment. She daydreams about how she'll get her revenge and make the person pay for what they've done to her. She talks about feeling hurt and wanting the other person to feel the same pain, making revenge her plan. With her girlfriends by her side, she is ready to take revenge and make the other person pay.
The chorus repeats the phrase "We could do revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge" several times, emphasizing that the singer is not alone in wanting revenge. She wants to take revenge together with her friends, making it sweeter. In the bridge, which features a male voice, the singer reflects on the relationship with the person she wants to take revenge on. She fell for them, but they hurt her, and she doesn't want to make amends, only take revenge. She lists the ways in which they hurt her, including cheating on her, and calls them a whore. The song ends with a call for both women and men to take revenge together, underlining the importance of solidarity in the face of wrongdoing.

And you pass me while I'm driving to hers

Just remember
Even if you move on, I will never forget or be okay with what you've done.

You're a whore, you're a whore
