Please Please Please
Sabrina Carpenter Lyrics

I know I have good judgment, I know I have good taste
I am confident in my ability to make sound decisions and appreciate quality.

It's funny and it's ironic that only I feel that way
It’s strikingly amusing that my positive perception is not shared by others.

I promise 'em that you're different and everyone makes mistakes
I've assured others of your uniqueness while acknowledging that everyone errs from time to time.

But just don't
I simply ask you to refrain from making those errors.

I heard that you're an actor, so act like a stand-up guy
Since you are a performer, behave honorably and responsibly.

Whatever devil's inside you, don't let him out tonight
Keep any negative or destructive impulses in check tonight.

I tell them it's just your culture and everyone rolls their eyes
I explain your behavior as cultural, but others remain skeptical or dismissive.

Yeah, I know
I acknowledge their doubts but still stand by my belief.

All I'm asking, baby
My only request from you is this.

Please, please, please
I sincerely urge you to consider this.

Don't prove I'm right
Avoid confirming the negative opinions others hold about you or our situation.

And please, please, please
I emphasize my plea again.

Don't bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice
Please don’t make me cry, especially after I put in effort to look good.

Heartbreak is one thing, my ego's another
The pain of heartbreak is one issue, but my self-esteem is at stake as well.

I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherfucker
I earnestly request that you avoid actions that would cause me shame.

Ah, oh
A moment of exasperation or reflection.

Please, please, please (ah, ah, ah)
Once more, I desperately ask for your understanding and adherence to my request.

Well, I have a fun idea, babe (uh-huh), maybe just stay inside
I've got a playful suggestion: let’s keep things low-key and stay indoors.

I know you're craving some fresh air, but the ceiling fan is so nice (it's so nice, right?)
I understand you want to go out, but enjoying the comfort of home is also appealing.

And we could live so happily if no one knows that you're with me
We can maintain a happy relationship if we keep it private from external judgment.

I'm just kidding, but really (kinda), really, really
I’m joking, but there’s a serious thread behind my words.

Please, please, please (please don't prove I'm right)
I repeat my plea for you to avoid validating the concerns I have for us.

Don't prove I'm right
Steer clear of actions that confirm the worries I've expressed.

And please, please, please
I continue my heartfelt request.

Don't bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice
Avoid causing me emotional pain when I’ve put effort into my appearance.

Heartbreak is one thing (heartbreak is one thing), my ego's another (ego's another)
Emotional pain is one challenge, but protecting my self-esteem is another concern.

I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherfucker
I earnestly implore you to refrain from actions that would lead to my humiliation.

Ah, oh
An expression of frustration or resignation.

Please, please, please (ah, ah, ah)
I reiterate my urgent request for your cooperation.

If you wanna go and be stupid
If you feel inclined to act foolishly or irresponsibly,

Don't do it in front of me
Please don’t display that behavior around me.

If you don't wanna cry to my music
If you’d prefer not to feel emotional while listening to my art,

Don't make me hate you prolifically
Please don’t provoke feelings of resentment in me.

Please, please, please (please)
I earnestly beg for your understanding and compliance.

Please, please, please (please)
I say it again, hoping you will truly hear my feelings.

Please (please), please (please), please
I repeat my plea, emphasizing how much this matters to me.

(Ah)
A final expression of yearning or frustration.
