PERFECT by Pink
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.
Chorus:
_PRETTY_, _PRETTY_ please, don't you ever,
ever feel
Like you are 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 were wrong
Change the _VOICES_ in your head,
make them _LIKE_ you instead
So complicated, look happy, 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,
I've seen you do the same
Chorus: (…)

The whole world's scared so I swallow the
_FEAR_
The only thing I should be _DRINKING_ is an ice
cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try
But we try too hard and 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_
_EXCHANGE_ ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that
_WHY_ do I do that?
Yeah, oh, oh baby, _PRETTY, PRETTY_ baby
Chorus: (…)
yeah
You're perfect, you're perfect
Oh pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothin' you're fuckin' perfect to me
Analysis and vocabulary
1. What teachings can you take from this
song?
Since we sometimes have problems and a lot of
people think it's not a big deal, I feel like the
teachings are:
1. It is to value the gray days of others, that
a problem or a word cannot be minimized, we
do not know if we can hurt or not
2. Know that we are capable of moving forward
with your own support. If you want to move
forward, make sure you do so
3. know yourself, you know what you are
capable of and what you can face
