P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lookin' tight, feeling nice; it's a cock fight
I can tell I just know that it's going down, tonight
At the door, we don't wait 'cause we know them
At the bar, six shots just beginnin'
That's when dick head put his hands on me
But ya see
You don't really wanna mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over, before it began
Keep your drink, just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
Midnight, I'm drunk; I don't give a fuck
Wanna dance by myself; guess you're out of luck
Don't touch, back up, I'm not the one
Buh-bye
Listen up, it's just not happenin'
You can say what you want to your boyfriends
Just let me have my fun tonight, a'ight
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really wanna mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over, before it began
Keep your drink, just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
You're in the corner with your boys; you bet them five bucks
You'd get the girl that just walked in, but she thinks you suck
We didn't get all dressed up just for you to see
So quit spilling your drinks on me
You know you are
High five and talking shit
But you are going home alone
Aren't ya?
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really wanna mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over, before it began
Keep your drink, just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really wanna mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over, before it began
Keep your drink, just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
In "U & Ur Hand", P!nk portrays a strong and unapologetic attitude towards unwanted attention from men in a club. The song begins with her setting the scene for the night, knowing that there will be men fighting for her attention. However, when one of them crosses the line and puts his hands on her, she stands her ground and makes it clear that she's not interested in his advances. Throughout the song, P!nk asserts her autonomy, declaring that she is not there for anyone else's entertainment and that she will have a good time on her own terms.
The chorus is particularly powerful, as P!nk sings "Just stop and take a second / I was fine before you walked into my life / 'Cause you know it's over, before it began". This can be interpreted as her rejecting the idea that men hold the power in these situations, and that she is strong enough to walk away if she feels uncomfortable or disrespected. The song ends with P!nk calling out the men who think they can win her over with their words and bets, reminding them that she is the one in control.
