PINK - JUST LIKE A PILL
I'm Lying Here On The Floor Where You Left Me
I Think I Took Too Much
I'm Crying Here, What Have You Done?
I Thought It Would Be Fun
I Can't Stay On Your Life Support, There's A Shortage In The Switch
I Can't Stay On Your Morphine, Cause It's Making Me Itch
I Said I Tried To Call The Nurse Again, But She's Being A Little Bitch
I Think I'll Get Out Of Here
Where I Can Run, Just As Fast As I Can
To The Middle Of Nowhere
To The Middle Of My Frustrated Fears
And I Swear, You're Just Like A Pill
Instead Of Making Me Better
You Keep Making Me Ill
You Keep Making Me Ill
I Haven't Moved From The Stop Where You Left Me
This Must Be A Bad Trip
All Of The Other Pills They Were Different
Maybe I Should Get Some Help
I Can't Stay On Your Life Support, There's A Shortage In The Switch
I Can't Stay On Your Morphine, Cause It's Making Me Itch
I Said I Tried To Call The Nurse Again, But She's Being A Little Bitch
I Think I'll Get Out Of Here
Where I Can Run, Just As Fast As I Can
To The Middle Of Nowhere
To The Middle Of My Frustrated Fears
And I Swear, You're Just Like A Pill
Instead Of Making Me Better
You Keep Making Me Ill
You Keep Making Me Ill
Run Just As Fast As I Can
To The Middle Of Nowhere
To The Middle Of My Frustrated Fears
And I Swear, You're Just Like A Pill
Instead Of Making Me Better
You Keep Making Me Ill
You Keep Making Me Ill
I Can't Stay On Your Life Support, There's A Shortage In The Switch
(Just Like A Pill)

SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Pink, Dallas Austin
Producer(s): Dallas Austin
In This Angst-Fueled Pop-Rock Number, Pink Compares Her Toxic Romance To A Bad Drug Trip - Something She's Quite Familiar With From Her Wild Teen Years. "That's Part Of Who I Am But I'm Not As Self-Destructive As I Used To Be," She Explained In A 2004 Interview. "I've Done It So I'm Not Curious About It."
This Is The Third Single From Pink's Second Studio Album, Following "Get The Party Started" And "Don't Let Me Get Me." She Wrote It With Dallas Austin, A Hit Songwriter/Producer Who Worked With Madonna, Tlc, And Gwen Stefani. Austin Also Produced The Track.
With Her Newfound Power Over Her Music, Pink Took Control Of Her Lyrics And Her Sound, Which Adopted A Rock Edge. The Change Earned Her Lots Of New Fans, With The Album Selling 5 Million Copies In The Us.
The Music Video, Directed By Francis Lawrence, Opens With The Singer Sprawled On The Floor Of A Gloomy Facility. Pink Told Vh1 Of The Clip: "This One's Very Dark And Artsy, And I Have Black Hair, Which Is Very Fun. I Loved It. It's Another Part That I Haven't Concentrated On Before."
Pink Roams The Halls Of The Building And Discovers A Room Full Of White Rabbits And Another With A Group Of Amorous People. She Also Has A Run-In With An Elephant, An Encounter That Deeply Affected The Singer. "I Felt So Bad," She Recalled, "I Got Into A Fight With The Trainer. This Poor Elephant; It's In A Warehouse Where It Has To Keep Getting Down On Its Hands And Knees. This Is A Huge Elephant, It's So Cute, And I Could See How Painful It Was For It To Get Down On Its Hands And Knees, And I'm Like, 'Can We Not Do This Anymore? I Think We Got The Take, You Know, It's Enough.'"
After Witnessing Animal Cruelty Firsthand, Pink Refused To Use Animals In Her Future Music Videos.
Canadian Indie-Pop Duo Tegan And Sara Sang This In Honor Of Pink When The Singer Was Named Billboard's Woman Of The Year In 2013.
