Tina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm talking to the priest
The high priest
And everybody out there in the universe
If what I'm saying is wrong
Then tell me the right way to say it
'Cause I wanna be made over

Paint me red, paint me green
Give me liberty, wash me clean
Make me over, make me nice
'Cause when I'm done, Lord, I wanna be right

Hey, Lord
Make me over, I wanna be made over
Hey, Lord
Make me over, I wanna be made over
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)

Make me smart, make me king
Give a lot, give me steam
I want eternal beauty, spiritual things
'Cause when I'm done, yes, I wanna be a good thing

Hey, Lord
Make me over, I wanna be made over
Hey, Lord
Make me over, I wanna be made over
Make me over, I wanna be made over (I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
Make me over

I wanna go places, I wanna do some things
I wanna be a star, I wanna have a big name
But in my heart, let beauty reign
And when I'm done, I wanna have fame
Lord, make me nice, Lord, make me good
Give me power, give me love
I wanna be desirable, voluptuous, tantalizing

(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)




(Make me over, I wanna be made over)
(Make me over, I wanna be made over)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tina's song "TINA" convey a strong message of self-acceptance and the rejection of societal standards of beauty. The opening lines, "Anak anak bukan sulap bukan sihir / Ini lah si gendut lincah tina toon walah walah walah walah," translate to "We are not magic or sorcery / This is the chubby yet agile Tina Toon." This suggests that despite not fitting into conventional beauty standards, Tina Toon is still confident in herself and her abilities.


The verses that follow detail various activities that Tina Toon participates in, such as weaving rattan and selling rice cakes, as well as her travels to Pakistan. These lyrics depict Tina Toon as a hardworking and adventurous individual who defies the lazy and unmotivated stereotype that is often attributed to overweight individuals.


The chorus then challenges the negative stereotypes and assumptions made about overweight people. Tina Toon proudly asserts that she is not a lazy glutton, and that she can dance just as well as anyone else. The repetition of the phrase "Siapa yang bilang" (Who says that) highlights the absurdity of these prejudices and reinforces the message of self-love and confidence.


Overall, "TINA" is an empowering anthem that encourages listeners to reject societal beauty norms and celebrate their unique qualities.
