Perfect by Pink

PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO!





When Pink first hit the scene she was a breath of fresh hair for girls like me. She didn't care what people said she did what she wanted. She ALWAYS had pink hair (not anymore!). Getting to the song. I'm so glad she made a clean version! It has been playing on my computer all day. This is probably one of the best music videos I've seen in a long time. I wish I could show it in Youth Group. I really do, but that's not gonna happen.... It deals with everything from not being popular to cutting. These are real issues in most teenage girls lives. Why are more people not talking about these things?

Now I know this song wasn't meant to be scriptural, but come on, it SOOOOoo could be! God sees us as perfect. No matter what, He sees us as PERFECT! Our society has made us look at ourselves and not like what we see in the mirror. Even the pretty girl wants to change things about herself. The skinny girl thinks she isn't skinny enough. The smart girl tries to be dumb so people won't make fun of her. We are who God made us! We may not think we are Perfect but He does! Our home lives might be crappy, but God is always there no matter what! He loves us just the way we are... If our hair isn't straight or our clothes don't fit just right.... He loves us and thinks we are Perfect!

Here are the Lyrics!


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 

Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel 
Like you're less than less than perfect 
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing 
You are 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 how 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 

Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel 
Like you're less than less than perfect 
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing 
You are perfect to me 

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 dont 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 baby..! 
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel 
Like you're less than less than perfect 
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel 
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me 
You're perfect, you're perfect! 
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing 
You are perfect to me...
