Ever wonder 'bout what he's doin'?
How it all turned to lies?
Sometimes I think that it's better
To never ask why

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try

Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right?

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try

Ever worry that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by?

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try

Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try

You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try

P!nk’s pop return has been met with an excitement that few artists see because of her boldness and unafraid approach to speaking her mind.

The stadium-ready ‘What About Us’ is a soaring protest for love that many read as a more focused protest to American politics, and she makes its double meaning very clear in the brand new video.

Quoting “God bless you and God bless America”, the political visual is a direct protest, mainly emoted through powerful choreography performed by P!nk and a troupe of dancers.

The opening stunningly captures the current discontent as it shows many people visibly upset, with two men embraced and a group consoling one another, while P!nk’s head is shaved under amber lights.

There’s a lot of provocative imagery in the emotional clip, however the two male dancers’ beautiful performances is a clear highlight.

We’re sure P!nk will elaborate on the video’s message when she takes to the stage at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, where she will be honoured with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

View the lyrics
White knuckles
And sweaty palms from hangin' on too tight
Clenched shut jaw
I've got another headache again tonight

Eyes on fire, eyes on fire
And they burn from all the tears
I've been cryin', I've been cryin'
I've been dying over you

Tie a knot in the rope
Tryin' to hold, tryin' to hold
But there's nothing to grasp
So I let go

I think I finally had enough
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Blow me one last kiss

You think I'm just too serious
I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning, so
Blow me one last kiss

Just when it can't get worse
I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day

I think that life's too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss

I won't miss
All of the fighting
That we always did
Take it in
I mean what I say when I say "there is nothing left"

No more sick
Whiskey dick
No more battles from me
You'll be calling a trick
'Cause you no longer sleep

I'll dress nice, I'll look good
I'll go dancing alone
I will laugh, I'll get drunk
I'll take somebody home

I think I've finally had enough
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Blow me one last kiss

You think I'm just too serious
I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning, so
Blow me one last kiss

Just when it can't get worse
I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day

I think that life's too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss

La la la ra ra ra
Blow me one last kiss
La la la ra ra ra
Blow me one last kiss

I will do what I please
Anything that I want
I will breathe, I will breathe
I won't worry at all

You will pay for your sins
You'll be sorry, my dear
All the lies, all the why's
Will all be crystal clear

I think I've finally had enough
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Blow me one last kiss

You think I'm just too serious
I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning, so
Blow me one last kiss

Just when it can't get worse
I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day

I think that life's too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss

La la la ra ra ra ra
Blow me one last kiss
La la la ra ra ra ra

Blow me one last kiss

Just when it can't get worse
I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day

I think that life's too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss
