P!nk – So What lyrics
I guess I just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent (nope)
I've got a brand new attitude,
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I'm gonna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight

Na na na na na
I wanna start a fight
Na na na na na
I wanna start a fight!

[Chorus:]
So,
So what I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm havin more fun
And now that were done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool so
So what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

Unh Check my flow Uohhh

The waiter just took my table
And gave it to Jessica Simps
(shit!)
I guess I'll go sit with drum boy
At least he'll know how to hit
(Oops)
What if this song's on the radio,
Then somebody's gonna die! Haha
I'm going to get in trouble,
My ex will start a fight

Na na na na
He's gonna to start a fight
Na na na na
We're all gonna get in a fight!

[Chorus:]
So,
So what I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm havin more fun
And now that were done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool so
So what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

You weren't there
You never were
You want it all but that's not fair
I gave you life
I gave my all
You weren't there, you let me fall

[Chorus:]
So, so what I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm havin more fun
And now that were done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool so
So what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

No no
No no, I don't want you tonight
You weren't there
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool so
So what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

(Wooohooooooo!)

    Fans, I love P! Nk as well, but this text box is for Song Meanings, not comments. Please pay a little more attention. Thank you.
    While I'm here, I may as well post my interpretation. (It's kind if obvious and not much different from the very few other Meanings posted here. You. You; ;)
    The singer is mourning the divorce with her husband, and trying to comfort herself by getting in fights and telling herself that he was just a tool, and listing all his mediocre traits, and finally how he treated her badly. She's showing that she's looking to the future instead of pining after his mistakes.
    I think everybody with enough life experience can appreciate this song, since we all have fights with people (not just our romantic partners.) And we try to get over it and look to the future, like P! Nk has described.

    This song rox!
    It means that pink has lost her husband and she is trying to convince herself that she can live without him so she is saying in this song to her husband: "If you dumped me then OK thats your choice, but you are losing out on so much . . . i don't need you to ruin my life, so stay out. i can live without you. you think you are all that but you are NOTHING actually!"
    Omg. Rock on pink. I wish I had the courage to say that to Trevor when he double-crossed me. . No. All I did was cry myself to sleep for months. . I'm such a wimp!

    This song is a direct parody on all the silly gibberish celebrities go on these days. Notice how some have that stupid song about lost boyfriends or girlfriends?
    This song is lyrically brilliant, made better by the music.
    Pink mentions controversy in the song such as her husband starting a fight and her as well, making more fun of the 'marriage break-up write a song about it'.
    It is essentially and at heart a parody song on break-ups and their repercussions.

    Nerdy, I really don't think she's trying to cover the pain. Pink is a very headstrong person and doesn't let much get to her. Her and her ex are still good friends- I even think I remember reading somewhere that they live together, but I might be wrong. I think she's doing fine and I don't see any pain behind this song. Life goes on, she knows not to take anything for granted and is learning from her mistakes.

    All of P! Nk's songs are amazing.
    The first sentence of the song immediately tells us what the song is about - her ex husband.
    The song is a big "F**k you" to her husband but "with love"; she said this on The Music Jungle (Australian music show).
    She's saying now she doesn't have him, it's alright, she's obviously moved on and having fun.
    It's great that she can somehow make a joke out of something like this and let it not be serious, yet she conveys her emotions to the audience so well.
    Rock on, P! Nk!

    I agree with Dragonmage400. It's not so bad to see someone say "I like this song" or "I don't like this song". But when the entire thread is either conversation or kudos, it does get a little old.
    It's partly the artist's fault, though. Very few recent radio songs have a deep meaning. Most songs are just shallow and catchy. That's what the public likes. No one wants to think anymore.
    So to please (or displease) both crowds.
    I don't like this song.
    This song is about P! Nk going out and enjoying herself after her ex leaves her. She' not going to let him leaving get her down. In the second verse, she is saying she doesn't care about popularity and doesn't care if the song is radio worthy.

    Obviously she has the real life experience to gather from. (welcome to the club). I'm not sure she will divorce him -just yet. She is little insecure, hence show of muscle. But rock moves are hardly something to brag about in life, (as if it will solve their frustration). Perhaps that's why meaning is exactly the opposite of what this "brand new attitude" (fights are not new) she laments about -is
    who doesn't like pink's talent of singing and performing?

    It's about her getting thru the stuff her husband put her through with her held high. She's indifferent anyway because he was never there in the first place and she couldn't depend on him, she's gonna change her attitude about things and have a good time, wants to throw it in his face too, she is hurt, but it's probably better to be rid of him in the end; she wants to fight because she 's feeling strong. And she wants to get him lol.

    Um. Sdsneonpinkluv or whatever. How about its not very nice for her husband to f*@ken cheat on her. She can say what ever she wants that's the beauty of art. And No I don't think your the only one who figured out what the song is about Carey Hart seeing as she says the word "husband" in the first verse of the song. But clap anyhow. Go Pink!
