Lyrics of
Whataya Want From Me

Whataya Want from Me was written by Pink, Max Martin, and Shellback for Pinks album Funhouse, but it did not make the album. Later, it was given to Adam Lambert for his debut album, For Your Entertainment. The lyrics express the frustration of being under pressure and the desire to be accepted for who one is.

Hey, slow it down whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Yeah I’m afraid whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
There might have been a time And I would give myself away
Oooh once upon a time I didn’t give a damn
But now, here we are so whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
(Hold G into chorus)

Just don’t give up I’m workin it out
Please don’t give in, I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me

Yeah, it’s plain to see (plain to see) that baby you’re beautiful
And it’s nothing wrong with you
(nothing wrong with you
It’s me, I’m a freak (yeah) but thanks for lovin’ me
Cause you’re doing it perfectly
(it perfectly)
There might have been a time When I would let you step away
DDDD GG DDDD GG

Just don’t give up I’m workin it out
Please don’t give in, I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me

(So I) Just don’t give up I’m workin it out
Please don’t give in, I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Just don’t give up I’m workin it out
Please don’t give in, I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
