PINK - 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, 'Cause I Can't Do Nothing Right
Everyday I Fight A War Against The Mirror
I Can't Take The Person Staring Back At Me
I'm A Hazard To Myself
Don't Let Me Get Me
I'm My Own Worst Enemy
It's 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
So Doctor, Doctor, Won't You Please Prescribe Me Something?
A Day In The Life Of Someone Else 'Cause I'm A Hazard To Myself
Don't Let Me Get Me (No)
I'm My Own Worst Enemy
It's Bad When You Annoy Yourself
So Irritating (No)
Don't Wanna Be My Friend No More
I Wanna Be Somebody Else
Yeah
Don't Let Me Get Me (Don't Let Me)
I'm My Own Worst Enemy (Oooh)
Its Bad When You Annoy Yourself
So Irritating
Don't Wanna Be My Friend No More
I Wanna Be Somebody Else
So Doctor, Doctor, Won't You Please Prescribe Me Something?
A Day In The Life Of Someone Else
Don't Let Me Get Me
(Oooh)
I'm A Hazard To Myself (Yeah)
Don't Let Me Get Me
I'm My Own Worst Enemy
It's Bad When You Annoy Yourself (Yourself)
So Irritating (So Irritating)
Don't Wanna Be My Friend No More (Don't, Don't)
I Wanna Be Somebody Else
Don't Let Me Get Me (Don't Let, Don't Let, Don't Let Me Get Me)
I'm My Own Worst Enemy
It's Bad When You Annoy Yourself (Yourself, It's So Bad)
So Irritating (Oooh)
Don't Wanna Be My Friend No More (Aah)
I Wanna Be Somebody Else
Don't Let Me Get Me (Don't Let Me Get Me)
I'm My Own Worst Enemy
It's Bad When You Annoy Yourself...
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Pink, Dallas Austin
Producer(s): Dallas Austin
Pink is her own worst enemy in this anthem of self-loathing that has her wishing she could be someone else. She told MTV's Making The Video that she wrote the song "about feeling inadequate and wanting to get away from yourself."
This was co-written and produced by Dallas Austin, who also worked with TLC, Madonna, and Boyz II Men.
Pink sang this on the January 12, 2002 episode of Saturday Night Live.
This was used on Ally McBeal in the 2002 episode "Homecoming."
In the Dave Meyers-directed music video, Pink is a defiant high school student failing to fit in with her popular classmates. She ends up getting in a fight with her own reflection in a locker-room mirror, which attracts the scorn of her peers and lands her in hot water with her gym teacher. Next, we're shown how the self-conscious singer navigates the pressures of the music industry - including a frustrating meeting in L.A. Reid's (Ted Lyde) office - before she triumphantly returns to her alma mater to perform.
The video was shot at Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, but is called Moore High School in the clip. The fictional locale is named after the singer, whose real name is Alecia Moore.
Pink confirmed that she was a troublemaker in high school and had 63 hours of overdue detentions when she dropped out.
The knife that Pink plays with in the video was a gift from Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, who provided guest vocals on the album track "Misery."
With 5 million copies sold in the US, "Missundaztood" was one of the best-selling albums of 2002.
