Pink Lyrics :: Can't Take Me Home (2000)   

Can't Take
 Me Home
2000

Split Personality

I, I, do not trust, 
so I cannot love
(can't no man be trusted)
Oh no no no
And I, do not dare to open up
(this life of yours is dusted Pink)
Well my rent's past due and now my car won't start, 
I hate the bus
(well aren't you glad you have somebody to talk to)
Tell me what do they see when they look at me
Do they see my many personalities


Chorus:
Can you help me?
Does anybody hear me?
Can they even see me
This is my reality, oh oh?


(can it be my turn now, is it my turn Pink)
Said I'll say it again, you're my only friend
(I protect you from the world, I basically protect you from yourself)
Though I can't go on, I'm not satisfied with this being the end
(this is just the beginning)
Tell me why can't I just reach up and simply touch the sky
Tell me why can't I spread my arms and fly and fly and fly
Tell me why can't I say this, why can't I do that
Tell me what do they want from me, tell me how to act


Repeat Chorus 2x


So I'm putting it all on the table
(tell em' Pink)
You don't know me well enough to label me, sick, or even disturbed
When you break it down I'm just two girls
Trying to blend, trying to vibe
(trying)
Trying to live just one life
(so hard)
Everybody's got insanities...I got a split personality
Tell me why can't I just reach up and simply touch the sky
Tell me why can't I spread my arms and fly and fly and fly
Tell me why can't I say this, why can't I do that
Tell me what do they want from me, tell me how to act


Repeat Chorus 3x


Can you help me?
(talk to me, talk to me, don't ignore me, I can't take it)
Do you hear me?
Do you see me every time?
(oh calm down, it's not that serious, we'll be just fine without them)
It's all mine...it's my reality...it's just too much for me
(you're my friend, you're my friend...Pink!...Pink!)

Hell Wit Ya

What is this, I heard, you got a new miss
We just broke up so you know that I'm pissed
They say you're faithful I don't believe that shhhh...
Oh no, oh no


Bridge: Oh I tried to act like I didn't care
But it doesn't seem fair you're so good to her
And I tried to pretend I didn't see all those things that you do, you couldn't do for me


Chorus:
I was in love wit ya
But the hell wit ya cuz you didn't wanna treat me right
I was in love wit ya
But the hell wit ya cuz you didn't wanna treat me right
Now ya got another girl in your life, givin her love all day and night
I was in love wit ya
But the hell wit ya cuz you didn't wanna treat me right


So I hear, I've met the wench before
(yeah I remember that time we went to Pizza Hut and you told me she was your cousin)
I hear you learned to open doors
(so when did you become such a damn gentleman)


Repeat Bridge


Repeat Chorus


What does she do to you
To make you give her everything like you never did for me
Call it jealousy, but it's killin me
Cuz all the time that you were mine, you didn't treat me right
No no, no you didn't treat me right, no no no


Repeat Chorus

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
A man that under stands real 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 don't wanna hear that you adore me
And, I, know that all you're doing is givin me mind games
Don't you know that game peeps game
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
And 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


Chorus:
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
Yeah you know 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 it back
Now what, whatcha think about that and wanna say 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


Repeat Chorus


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's gone
But I knew it wouldn't be long, till you came runnin back
Missin my love and there you go


Repeat Chorus 3x


So there you go, there you go, there you go.

You Make Me Sick

They make me sick
I know I feel you, that's why we gotta stick together
Yep Yep Yep I know it...


Chorus:
You make me sick
I want you and I'm hatin it
Got me lit like a candlestick
Get too hot when you touch the tip, I'm feelin it, I gotta getta grip
And it's drivin me crazy baby don't you quit
Can't get enough of it
You got me goin again
Baby, you got me goin again
You make me sick

Let Me Let You Know

Dear baby, I'm not sorry for leavin you this way
But I know that I should have told you face-to-face
We've always been straight up so I, I won't waste your time
I'm leavin, say good-bye, because I know what you did last night


Chorus:
Let me let you know, yeah
That I'm leavin baby
Let me let you know, yeah

One more thing before I go, I hope you feel alone
Cuz I'm definitely tired of waiting for you to come home
(been waitin for you at home)
We've always been straight up, so I, I'll just take what's mine
I'm leavin, say good-bye, because you hurt me for the last time
Let me, let you know


Repeat Chorus


Whatever your excuse is, I'm sure, I've heard them all before
Time and time again I told ya, that I need you more
Now I'm walkin out the door


Repeat Chorus


Ooh baby, I'm just here to let you know honey
Ooh, yeah
Here to let you know
Let me let you know yeah
I'm leavin


Repeat Chorus

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...)

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


Bridge:
See I dont wanna meet on a lonely street
Where the talk is cheap and the price is sweet
I'm not that girl,
I'm 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


Chorus:
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


Repeat Bridge


Repeat Chorus


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, private 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

Can't Take Me Home

Chorus:
Can't take me home to momma cuz she wouldn't think I'm proper
Shoulda thought about that before you f!@# with me
Don't say you're fallin for me, don't tell me you adore me
Cuz all you're thinkin bout is fucking me
Can't take me home to momma cuz she wouldn't think I'm proper
Shoulda thought about that before you f!@# with me
Don't say you're fallin for me, don't tell me you adore me
Cuz all you're thinkin bout is fucking me


Wouldn't even talk to me, baby were you curious
You knew you never had a love like this
My love was serious, had you delirious
Don't front, I found it in every kiss
You try and play me, but I ain't your lady
When you just told me that you love me and you want me as your baby
Understand me, cuz I know we can be
Just as happy as anybody, let your heart feel me baby


Repeat Chorus


What the hell was on your mind
You thought I had the time, to be a little undercover thing
But see I can't deal with that, so you better just split with that
Come at me real
Quit playin these silly games
How can you love me, and then just leave me
Because you see somebody looking
And you think they disagree
Well they don't feed you, so why you care boo
Cuz the best love you ever had is right here with you


Repeat Chorus


I don't want nobody else but you
If you keep playing, then I'll make you the fool
Cuz it's a Pink thang
It's the way you would wanna get with me
Oh, it's a Pink thang
Tell you, your mama you're just gonna hafta see


Repeat Chorus

Stop Falling

Chorus:
I ain't lookin for a steady thing
I ain't lookin for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready babe
I'm still lookin for some better days
I don't wanna give you everything
I just wanna make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away


Don't assume cuz I'm a woman
That I'll fall in love
Don't expect I'm young and need to be took care of
Don't wanna hear you got what I need
Cuz how would you know before we speak
You've gotta understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
You've gotta take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
Cuz I get a feeling I won't let it start


Repeat Chorus


Please believe me
I've been down this road and back again
Learned my lesson and it was that love is not my friend
For the day I put my trust in you
Would be the day I say "I do"
Don't expect me just to open up
Maybe I'm just a little scared
Please don't tell me what you think I wanna hear
Oh baby save it, I've heard it all before
There ain't nothin you could say, whoa, to make me change my ways


Repeat Chorus


So stop falling
Stop falling
You know you're falling.........for me
Stop falling
Stop falling
Stop falling...for me
You've gotta understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
Oh baby, take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
I get a feeling I won't let it start


Repeat Chorus

Do What You Do

Some people like the summer when it's hot
Some people like the winter cold
Some people speak they minds when they wanna
And some other people ain't so bold
Whatever it is that you do you should do
You should do it wit ya head held high
So when you're doin your thing it's cuz you wanna
And they never can ask you why


Chorus:
I say do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
Cuz it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you gotta do it your way
I say do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
Cuz it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you gotta do it your way


Some, they like it easy
When others, they like it rough
But ain't nobody gotta like it but you
Girl, boy, boy, girl, girl, girl, boy, boy
Whatever, you should do what you do
How could they tell you that you coulda-shoulda-woulda
When ask them can they walk in your shoes
Cuz it's your life and you do what you wanna
And remember baby, it's all about you


Repeat Chorus


So if it's on your mind, then you should speak your piece
And say what you say
And if you want it done, then you should get it done
And do it your way
So if it's on your mind, then you should speak your piece
And say what you say
And if you want it done, then you should get it done
And do it your way


Repeat Chorus 2x

Hiccup

Chorus:
Why everytime I try to tell you how it feels
like a hiccup-cup come and it won't come-come
Soon as I think I'm bout to share my lovin
That's when the hiccup's comin
Why everytime I try to tell you how it feel
It's like a hiccup-cup come and it won't come-come
Soon as I think I'm bout to share my lovin
That's when the hiccup's comin


You're like a cough on a rainy day
You know the kind that gives you chest pains, yeah
And just as things start to feel OK
Then here you come to break away
You love me hard and 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


Repeat Chorus


My thoughts, they kinda shake-y
Everytime I get around you sweet baby
Sometimes, I don't know what I'm tryin to say
Just tell me baby, tell me things are gonna be OK


Repeat Chorus


I get all choked up inside
And I don't know what to say
Sometimes I wanna just run and hide
But you just stand in my way


Repeat Chorus


Why everytime I tell you how I feel
It's like a hiccup-cup come and you know the deal
Pink don't think before she speak
But you got me feelin, feelin, feelin kinda weak
Why everytime I tell you how I feel
It's like a hiccup-cup come and you know the deal
Pink don't think before she speak
But you got me feelin, feelin, feelin kinda weak


Repeat Chorus

Is It Love

Chorus:
Is it love, or just a curse
Do you feel good when I hurt
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck


Mommy help me, I need your help
This little boy, he took my love
And he says these things that make my body pump up
But then he runs leavin me un-done
And I don't understand
For sex he said he'd be my man


Repeat Chorus


Daddy listen, I gave it up
I'm not your little girl
My cherry, and all the trust is missing
But please listen, what do I do
I know you wanna hurt him
But I like what he do, he's only doin what you used to


Repeat Chorus


You never told me bout the birds and the bees
Or bout hide n' go seek or what he gets when he finds me
The biggest mistakes in the choices I make
Won't you help me decide, what's goin down in my mind


Repeat Chorus 2x


That thing you're puttin on me
Has got me so confused
Won't somebody help me, tell me what should I do
In my heart it feels so good, is it just a curse
Will it get better, or will it get worse


Repeat Chorus
