P!nk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't looking for a steady thing
I ain't looking for what love brings
Cause I'm still young and I ain't ready babe
I'm still looking for some better days
I don't want to give you everything
I just want to make you feel things
You ain't gotta give me everything
Just throw it away hey

Don't expect I'm young and need to be took cared of
Don't want to hear you got what I need
Cause how would you know before we speak?

You've gotta understand my side

Learned a lesson and it was that love is not your friend
The day I put my trust in you

Don't expect me just to open up
Maybe I'm just a little scared
Please don't tell me what you think
