THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE
By
Pink
***************
The truth about love comes at 3am
You wake up fucked up and you grab a pen
And you say to yourself
I’m gonna figure it out, I’m gonna crack that code
Gonna break it break it down
I’m tired of all these questions
And, now it’s just annoying
Cause, no one has the answer
So I guess it’s up to be
To find the truth about love
As it comes, and it goes
A strange fascination with his lips and toes
Morning breath, bedroom eyes on a smiling face
Sheet marks red burn, and a sugar glaze
Shocking me all, they can eat your eyes
If the truth about love
I think it just may be perfect
The only person of my dreams
I never ever ever ever been this happy
But now something has changed
And The Truth About Love is it’s all a lie
I thought you were the one, and I hate goodbyes
Oh, you want the truth?
The truth about love is it’s nasty and salty
It’s the regret in the morning, it’s the smelling of armpits
It’s wings, and songs
And trees, and birds
It’s all the poetry that you ever heard
Tear it put it down, life lime for get me now
It’s the hunt and the kill
The schemes and the plots
The truth about love is it’s blood, and it’s guts
Pure bread, and mud
So much is without the crust
It takes your breathe, cause it leaves a scar
But those untouched never got never got very far
It’s raging it’s hate
And I sit through it fade
And that’s the truth about love
The truth about love
I think it just may be perfect
The only person of my dreams
I never ever ever ever been this happy
But now something has changed
And The Truth About Love is it’s all a lie
I thought you were the one, and I hate goodbyes
Oh you can lose your breath
Oh, you can shoot a gun and
Convince you’re the only one that’s ever found his way before
It hurts inside the hell we’ve been in
It falls to get a pack and thinner
It’s raised before the angels’ lips and
They can turn you into a son of a bitch man
The truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth about love
THERE YOU GO
***************
Please don’t come around talkin bout that you love me
Cuz that love shit just ain’t for me
And I dont wanna hear that you adore me
And I know that all you’re doin is runnin your mind games
Don’t you know my game beats these games
So your best bet is to be straight with me
So you say you wanna talk, let’s talk
If you won’t talk, I’ll walk, yeah it’s like that
Got a new man, he’s waiting out back
Now what, what you think about that
Now when I say I’m through, I’m through
Basically, I’m through with you
Whatcha wanna say, had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you’re beggin me to stay
There you go, lookin pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talkin bout you want me back
But sometimes it be’s like that, so
There you go, talkin bout you miss me so, that you love me so, why I let ya go
There you go cause your lies got old, look at you
There you go
Please don’t come around talkin bout how you changed
How you said good-bye to what’s-her-name
All it sounds like to me is new game
And I was right when I thought I’d be much better off without you
Had to get myself from round you, cuz my life was all about you
So you say you wanna talk, I don’t
Say you wanna change, I won’t
Yeah, it’s like that
Had your chance, won’t take ya back
Now what, whatcha think about that
And when I say I’m through, I’m through
Basically I’m through wit you
Whatcha wanna say
Had to have it your way, had to play games, now you’re beggin me to stay
Oooh, don’t you wish you could turn the hands of time
Don’t you wish you still were mine
Don’t you wish I’d take you back
Don’t you wish that things were simple like that, oh
Didn’t miss a good thing till it was gone
But I knew it wouldn’t be long, till you came runnin back
Missin my love, there you go
So there you go, there you go
PRIVATE SHOW
***************
Silly you, silly me
To letcha in and put a move on me
Yeah yeah yeah
Never once asked for love
Always took it for what it’s worth, memories
See I dont wanna meet on a lonely street
Where the talk is cheap and the price is sweet
I’m not that girl, Im not that girl
And you dont wanna see the other side of me
So I’m gonna hit ya off and I’m gonna set ya free
Before you fall too deep, don’t fall too deep
He don’t know
I’m gonna be the one who’s gonna let him go
Even if he wants to stay, I’ll let him go
Cuz all he wants from me is a private show
Ohhh…
He’s all talk, think’s he knows, how this game’s supposed to go
For everyone
Still it seems, he can’t see
Thinks he’s just usin’ me, usin’ me
He don’t know
Maybe if he wasn’t such a gigalo, (a nasty hoe)
I would let him stay, instead I let him go
Cuz all he wants from me is a private show
Ohhh…
He dont know
I’m gonna be the one who’s gonna let him go, I let him go
Private show, oh no no no no
He don’t know, I let him go, nasty hoe
Ohhh, pri-vate show, he don’t know, he don’t know
Let him go…even if he wants to stay I’ll let him go
Cuz all he wants from me is a private show…oh oh oh
He don’t know…oh oh oh…he don’t know
NUMB
***************
No sleep, no sex for you from your ex-girlfriend
I was too deep, I can’t let you go and just jump
in
At times I would push my feelings aside to let
you feel
I’m novicane I’m numb and nothing’s real
Like the coldest winter, I am frozen from you
I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can’t feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I’m numb, numb, numb
But the tears were silent inside you see
But the tears were silent inside you see
I laid there quiet, watched you have your way
with me
I might have cried, the tears were silent inside
you see
You called me names, made me feel like I was dumb
I didn’t feel a thing and now I’m gone, gone,
gone
Like a battered child I got used to your pain
But you know its cuz
I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can’t feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I’m numb, numb, numb
I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can’t feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I’m numb, numb, numb
Don’t feel a thing, don’t feel the pain
Numb, numb, numb
Said
I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can’t feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I’m numb, numb, numb
I was weak for
Said now I’m numb, numb, numb
No, no, no, no
18 WHEELER
***************
Can’t keep me down
Can’t keep me down, down
Can’t keep me down
I said you can’t keep me down
You know you can’t keep me down
I said you can’t keep me down
Hey, hey, man! What’s your problem?
I see you tryin’ to hurt me bad
Don’t know what you’re up against
Maybe you should reconsider
Come up with another plan
Cuz you know I’m not that kinda girl
That’ll lay there and let you come first
You can push me out the window
I’ll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won’t give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I’ll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can’t keep me down, down, down, down
Can’t keep me down, down
Can’t keep me down, down, down
Can’t keep me down, down
Hey, hey, girl! Are you ready for today?
You got your shield and sword?
Cuz its time to play the games
You are beautiful
Even though your not for sure
Don’t let him pull you by the skirt
You’re gonna get your feelings hurt
You can push me out the window
I’ll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won’t give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I’ll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can’t keep me down, down, down, down
You can push me out the window
I’ll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won’t give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I’ll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can’t keep me down, down, down, down
Everywhere that I go
There’s someone waitin’ to chain me
Everything that I say
There’s someone tryin’ to short-change me
I am only this way
Because of what you have made me
And I’m not gonna break!
You can push me out the window
I’ll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won’t give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I’ll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can’t keep me down, down, down, down
MOST GIRLS
***************
I never cared too much for love
It was all a bunch of mush that I just did not want
Paid was the issue of the day
If a girlfriend’s got some game
Couldn’t be more fly, gettin paid was everything
But I’m not every girl and I don’t need that world to validate me
Cuz shorty’s got a job, shorty’s got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don’t wanna dance if it is not in my heart
MOST GIRLS want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
MOST GIRLS want a man with the mean green
Don’t wanna dance if he can’t be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
I was a girl about the floss
It was all about the cost, how much he spent on me
Seek, for a man who’s got the means
To be givin you diamond rings
It’s what every fly girl could want or even dream
But I’m not every girl and I don’t need no G to take care of me
Cuz shorty’s got a job, shorty’s got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don’t wanna dance if it is not in my heart, no no
But I’m not every girl
And I don’t need no G to take care of me, no
Cuz shorty’s got a job, shorty’s got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don’t wanna dance if it is not in my heart, oh most girls
Cuz I’m not most girls, don’t wanna dance if he can’t be everything
I, I just want real love, said I gotta have real love
Everything that, can you be everything that I dream of
