PINK: IS IT LOVE [11]



Alecia Beth Moore (born September 8, 1979), better known by her stage name Pink (stylized as P!nk), is an American contralto singer-songwriter, musician, acrobat, dancer and actress, who rose to fame in early 2000. She released her first single "There You Go", on her first album, the R&B-oriented Can't Take Me Home, in 2000 via LaFace Records, which garnered commercial success. Her more pop rock-oriented second studio album, Missundaztood, which began a marked shift in the sound of her music, was released in 2001 and was a huge success worldwide. Pink released her third album, Try This, in November 2003, which although less successful commercially than her previous release, still managed to sell around 3 million copies and earned her a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the single Trouble. Her fourth album, called I'm Not Dead, was released in April 2006. The album generated several hit singles, including "Stupid Girls", "U + Ur Hand" and "Who Knew". Both "U + Ur Hand" and "Who Knew" went to #1 on the pop chart. Her fifth album, Funhouse, was released in late October 2008 and was preceded by her first solo number one on the Hot 100, "So What". The album notched three other Top 20 hits; "Sober", "Please Don't Leave Me" and "Glitter in the Air"

According to Billboard Pink is the #13 Artists Of The Decade and #1 Pop Song Artist of the Decade (2000–2010) [2]. She has also scored ten Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 US hits, including eight as a solo artist, and won two Grammy Awards, 5 MTV Music Awards and 2 Brit Awards. The People's Chart, announced through BBC Radio 1, declared Pink as the 11th Most Played Artist on UK Radio of the past decade (2000 to 2009).[3] To date, Pink has sold over 34 million albums worldwide.[4] Forbes Magazine named Pink the 27th most powerful celebrity in the world with $44 million earned between June 2009 and June 2010.

1. LOVE IS SUCH A CRAZY THING

I never thought I'd find someone
But you came along and made me see
That you were the only one for me
Boy, I love you constantly
[Bridge:]
You are my love, my only love
Baby my heart belongs to you
Be with me, don't play with me
If you want love just let me know

[Chorus:]
Love...love is such a crazy thing
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real
Oh love, love is such a crazy thing
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real (love for real)

I dreamed of someone like you before
But I never thought I'd get the chance
To romance someone as sweet as you
I hope you feel the same as I do

[Repeat Bridge]

Love, love is such a crazy thing (crazy feeling)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real (boy you are my love)
Love, love is such a crazy thing (love is such a crazy thing)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real (oh my love)

[Repeat Bridge]

Love, love is such a crazy thing (it's too crazy for me)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is the love, is it real, is it real
Love, love is such a crazy thing (love is such a crazy thing)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real, love for real
(baby I think of you, I wanna be with you, I don't understand, is this love for real?
You see I dream of you...every night and day.
I don't understand, is this love for real?
Love's such a crazy thing...)

2. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME



Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da-da da

I don't know if I can yell any louder
How many time I've kicked you outta here?
Or said something insulting?
Da da da da-da
I can be so mean when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut you into pieces
But my heart is... broken

Da da da-da da
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty
Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
But baby I don't mean it
I mean it, I promise

Da da da-da da
Please don't leave me
Da da da-da da
Please don't leave me
Da da da-da da
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I can't be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry.

Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da-da da
Please, please don't leave me

Baby please don't leave me
No, don't leave me
Please don't leave me no no no
You say I don't need you but it's always gonna come right back,
It's gonna come right back to this.
Please, don't leave me.
No.
No, don't leave me
Please don't leave me, oh no no no.
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this

Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me

3. IS IT LOVE

Why every time I try to tell you how I feel

Like a cough on a rainy day
You know the kind that gives you chest pains yeah

then he comes and brings away
Hold me hard then you squeeze me tight
You let me go then you pick a fight
You make me wanna scream, cry and shout out loud
Boy you got me spinnin' round and round

Why every time I try to tell you how I feel
It's like a hiccup comes up

And I don't know what to do
(Don't know what to do)
Sometimes I just wanna run and hide
But you just stand in my way

And it won't come, come
As soon as I think I'm about to share my lovin'
That's when the hiccups come in

4. GLITTER IN THE AIR



Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?

Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it

Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?

Have you ever looked fear in the face

And said I just don't care

It's only half past the point of no return

The tip of the ice burg

The sun before the burn

The thunder before lightning

The breathe before the phrase

Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?

You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone

Have you ever been touch so gently you had to cry?

Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion

The hourglass on the table

The walk before the run

The breathe before the kiss

And the fear before the flames

Have you ever felt this way?

La La La La La La La La

There you are, sitting in the garden

Clutching my coffee,

Calling me sugar

You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?

Lasso the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight

Have you ever held your breathe and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?

Tonight

5. WHY DID I EVER LIKE YOU



Barabarabaraadada
There was a 5.8 earthquake today
and it kinda got me thinking
I'd still have all my hate for you in tact
even if I lost everything

What did I say
Why are you shaking your head
You know you done me wrong
I may be crazy it's all in my head
But I want you darling gone

Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me

eh eh eh eh (repeats for a bit)

It's hard to believe I ever laughed at anything you said
Cos you're just not funny
Who would believe I'd let you do all those things
Oh I guess the joke was on me

I've tried to be zen
I've even asked all my friends
To help my let it slide
But all I see is your face
In my favourite place
And I can't help but wonder why

Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me

eh eh eh eh (repeats for a bit)

Yeaaahhheee

I've tried to be zen
I've even asked all my friends
To help my let it slide
All I see is your face
In my favourite place
And I can't help but wonder why

Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me

eh eh eh eh (repeats for a bit)

Tell me why did I
Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me

6. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU



I don't mind it
I don't mind at all
It's like you're the swing set
And I'm the kid that falls
It's like the way we fight
The times I've cried
We come to blows
And every night
The passion's there
So it's got to be right
Right?

No I don't believe you
When you say don't come around here no more
I won't remind you
You said we wouldn't be apart
No I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me anymore
So don't pretend to
Not love me at all

I don't mind it
I still don't mind at all
It's like one of those bad dreams
When you can't wake up
It looks like you've given up
You've had enough
But I want more
No I won't stop
Because I just know
You'll come around
Right?

No I don't believe you
When you say don't come around here no more
I won't remind you
You said we wouldn't be apart
No I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me anymore
So don't pretend to
Not love me at all

Just don't stand there and watch me fall
Because I, because I still don't mind at all

It's like the way we fight
The times I've cried
We come to blows
And every night
The passion's there
So it's got to be right,
Right?

No I don't believe you
When you say don't come around here no more
I won't remind you
You said we wouldn't be apart
No I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me anymore
So don't pretend to
Not love me at all

I don't believe you

7. 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

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

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

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

8. DON'T LET ME GET ME


Never win first place, I don't support the team
I can't take direction, and my socks are never
clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cuz I can't do nothin'
right

Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person starin' back at me
I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

I wanna be somebody else, yeah

LA told me, "You'll be a pop star,
All you have to change is everything you are."
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty, that just ain't me

Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe
somethin
A day in the life of someone else
Cuz I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe
somethin
A day in the life of someone else
Don't let me get me

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

[Repeat Chorus to fade]

10. HEART BREAKER




I keep thinking 'bout that little sparkle in your eye
Is it a light from the angels or your devil deep inside

What about the way you say you love me all the time
Are you lifting me up to heaven just to drop me down a line

There's a ring around my finger but will you change your mind
And you tell me that I'm beautiful but that could be a lie

Are you a heartbreaker
Maybe you want me for the ride
What if I'm falling for a heartbreaker and everything is just a lie
I won't be leaving here alive
I won't be leaving here alive
No

Temporary happiness is like waiting for the knife
I'm always watching for someone to show their darker side

So maybe I'll sit back and just enjoy all this for now
Watch it all play out
See if you'll really stick around

There's always this one question that keeps me up at night
Are you my greatest love or dissapointment in my life

Are you a heartbreaker
Maybe you want me for the ride
What if I'm falling for a heartbreaker and everything is just a lie
I won't be leaving here alive
I might as well lay down and die

I'm holding on with both hands and both feet
Oh
Promise that you won't pull the rug out from under me

Are you a heartbreaker
Maybe you want me for the ride
I pray to God you're not a heartbreaker
This time around I won't survive

'Cause if I'm falling for a heartbreaker and everything is just a lie
I won't be leaving here alive
I might as well lay down and die
Oh
I won't be leaving here alive

11. WORDS

Take Y
Take the letter
Take it out on the alphabet
Dont ask me why
No more questions
Just accept it for the way it is

Words are just words
They get in my way
I can never say what I wanna say
Who will understand it anyway?
It's just a waste

Take M
Mmm mmm
It's so lovely, so delicious, it says it all

I don't like X
Ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends
Exactly what I don't need
Twisting my words so easily

Words are just words
They get in my way
See like right now, I wanna tell you that I love you
but I don't know how..

Put the H with the A with the TE,
give it power, you could destroy me
Put the L, with the O with the VE,
Give that power and you don't have to say anything

Words are just words
They get in my way
Bla bla bla bla
Blaaaa

Words are just words
They get in my way
Words are just words
They get in my way

Take B,
and just let it be, B...
