"Pretty In Pink" lyrics

Thought I was strange
Wore converse to prom
Didn't match my date
Now 25 and I still haven't changed, mhm
I'm here then I'm there
I change my mind like I change my hair
And I don't get why everyone cares

My difference is more than a trend
I've been to hell and back again
Tried labels on but in the end I'm
Better off as myself

I got all these sides of me
None of them bother me
Why the hell I gotta be
Which one you wanna see
Showing every part of me's
Hard for society
I could tone it down
But that just don't work for me

Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm right
Don't need a reason why
Better in black
But it's not black and white
Cause I still feel pretty in pink

Thought I was odd
Put my hair in a bow
Just to write a song
And I don't really see why that's wrong, mhm
I come and I go
I fall in love with everyone I know
But I can't help that I get too close

My difference is more than a trend
I've been to hell and back again
Tried labels on but in the end I'm
Better off as myself

I got all these sides of me
None of them bother me
Why the hell I gotta be
Which one you wanna see
Showing every part of me's
Hard for society
I could tone it down
But that just don't work for me

Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm right
Don't need a reason why
Better in black
But it's not black and white
Cause I still feel pretty in pink

I'm doin' everything my own way
Now 25 and I still haven't changed
