P!nk feat. Lily Rose Cooper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I wanna slap you in your whole face (whoa oh oh)
There's no one quite like you, you push all my buttons down
I know life would suck without you (whoa oh oh)
At the same time, I wanna hug you
I wanna wrap my hands around your neck
You're an asshole but I love you
And you make me so mad, I ask myself
You're the only love I've ever known
But I hate you, I really hate you
So much I think it must be
True love, true love
It must be true love
Nothin' else can break my heart like
True love, true love
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Just once try to wrap your little brain around my feelings
Just once please try no to be so mean (whoa oh oh)
Repeat after me now R-O-M-A-N-C-E-E-E
Come on I'll say it slowly (Romance!)
You can do it babe
At the same time, I wanna hug you
I wanna wrap my hands around your neck
You're an asshole but I love you
And you make me so mad, I ask myself
Why I'm still here, or where could I go
You're the only love I've ever known
But I hate you, I really hate you
So much I think it must be
True love, true love
It must be true love
Nothin' else can break my heart like
True love, true love
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Think it must be love (I love you)
I think it must be love (I love you)
Why do you rub me up the wrong way?
Why do you say the things that you say?
Sometimes I wonder how we ever came to be
But without you I'm incomplete
I think it must be
True love, it must be true love
It must be true love
Nothin' else can break my heart like
True love, true love
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
No one else can break my heart like you
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
No one else can break my heart like you
The lyrics in this song by P!nk feat. Lily Rose Cooper showcase the complicated nature of love and relationships. The singer expresses feelings of both love and hate towards their partner, acknowledging that they push all their buttons and sometimes make them want to slap them. However, despite their flaws, the singer cannot imagine life without this person and even says that they are the only love they've ever known. The repeated line "true love" is used ironically, as the singer seems to be struggling with the notion that their love is not perfect, yet it is still real and valid.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the conflicting emotions that come with loving someone who can hurt you deeply. The line "nothin' else can break my heart like true love" suggests that this type of love is both painful and powerful. The bridge of the song offers a moment of reflection, where the singer questions why they are so drawn to this person who rubs them the wrong way and says hurtful things. However, they ultimately conclude that without this person, they would be incomplete and that their love must be true despite its imperfections.
Overall, the lyrics in "True Love" paint a vivid picture of the complexity and messiness of relationships. It acknowledges that love is not always easy or straightforward, but that even when we hate the people we love, we cannot imagine life without them.
