Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss, no way it's all good, it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look, I'm still around
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, Fuckin' perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing you're fuckin' perfect to me
You're so mean when you talk
About yourself, you are wrong
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead
So complicated, look how big you'll make it
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, see you do the same
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, fuckin' perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fuckin' perfect to me
The whole world is scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in lying and we try, try, try
But we try too hard, it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics 'cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Change ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that? Why do I do that?
Yaa, pretty, pretty
please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me
You are perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect to me
Pretty, pretty please if you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are fucking perfect to me
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss, no way it's all good, it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look, I'm still around
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, Fuckin' perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing you're fuckin' perfect to me
You're so mean when you talk
About yourself, you are wrong
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead
So complicated, look how big you'll make it
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, see you do the same
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, fuckin' perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fuckin' perfect to me
The whole world is scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in lying and we try, try, try

Yaa, pretty, pretty
please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me
You are perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect to me
Pretty, pretty please if you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are fucking perfect to me

I have one friend, especially. I think she's the most beautiful girl in the world. She's sweet, beautiful, and even though she fucks up sometimes just like all of us do, I think she's perfect... Yet, she puts herself down so much that I just want to shake her and switch views with her even for just a day so that she can see her how I see her and see how 'fucking perfect' she is..
Pink is a brilliant and perfect woman herself. Everyone is perfect, in their own way...
Everyone needs to see their own beauty
(Yet, as I preach this, I still see myself way less them perfect. I'm not beautiful enough, I'm not nice enough, I'm not popular enough, I'm not skinny enough... I guess it's easier said than done..)
But its not everywhere u go u get role models like Pink writing this song sayin ur perfect n special in your way. We totally rock lol
I see the meaning like that!
I have always liked Pink, but didn't consider myself a fan until I heard this song. By the end of my first listen, I became one. It's a great emotional pick-me-up. This song did for my self-esteem what spinach did for Popeye. It's a song that anyone with a soul can relate to. She's talking about me, you, friends, family, lost loved ones...
I was having a conversation with a friend recently about artists who use the music video to enhance a song's meaning. This one came up. There are videos that feature artists in random locations, loaded with special fx, choreography etc, (a good way to promote the track, don't get me wrong) then you have videos that actually tell a story and bring the song's meaning to a new level. I think this one is a great example. When I saw the video it gave me goosebumps. I have genuine gratitude for it.
The chorus is pretty self-explanitory, that he ( Carey ) is too critical of himself or puts the blame on himself for a lot of things. She's reassuring him that he really is, fuckin perfect for her.
In the verse that starts with:
"You're fuckin' perfect to me
The world stares while I swallow the fear"
I THINK ( not sure ) she is referring to herself trying to hide negative emotions.
The song as a whole reminds me of something she said during an interview; " you took my heart and made it bigger. " [ about Carey ]
One of my favorites of her's, but that doesn't say too much because I'm absolutely in love with everything she creates ;P
I thinbk that when people put themselves down and make bad decissions that they are still perfect and nothing can bring them down and they should bring themselves down
