He's Messed Up Lyrics

I, I can see, that you got your sights on him I'd like to say
Well I, well I've been there done that
You're a game he'll play, yeah
Well I know what he has you don't want none of that, nooo

Put your dreams away, he's never gonna change
Go on and walk away, 'cause He's Messed Up.
You're gonna figure out he'll only bring you down
Go on and walk away, 'cause he's messed up.
I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole (no!)
Now that I know all the things I know
He's never gonna change. Go on and walk away.
(Yeah, yeah) Yeah, 'cause he's messed up

Look in his eyes
You get caught in all the bullshit and the lies
Can be cruel, 'cause he doesn't play by anybody's rules.
Yeah, well he'll take, never give, 'cause it's all about him

Ooh!

Put your dreams away, he's never gonna change
Go on and walk away, 'cause he's messed up.
You're gonna figure out he'll only bring you down
Go on and walk away, 'cause he's messed up.
I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole (no!)
Now that I know all the things I know
He's never gonna change. Go on and walk away.
(Yeah, yeah) Yeah, 'cause he's messed up

He won't care 'bout anybody else
No he only sees himself

So put your dreams away, he's never gonna change
Go on and walk away, 'cause he's messed up.
You're gonna figure out he'll only bring you down
Yeah, 'cause he's messed up.
I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole (no!)
Now that I know all the things I know
He's never gonna change. Go on and walk away.
(Yeah, yeah) Yeah, 'cause he's messed up

He's Messed Up Song Chart

Jo Dee Messina originally penned this tune with Pink in mind. "I wanted to co-write it with her while she was in town, but it ended up that she had a crazy schedule," she said … so I was like, 'I'm going to finish this song anyway.'"

The song was inspired by a real person. "Maybe this is too much behind the song, but it's about a guy in the industry who's, like, Joe Cool," she divulged. "He just thinks he's, like, the Cat's Meow, and I had seen him backstage, and all these little girls are hanging on him."

"He's not an artist. He's not a singer. But he's just some guy that thinks he's, like, the coolest thing, and he plays that off, and girls buy into it," Messina added. "I remember seeing him backstage, with girls all around him, and I'm like, 'Dude.'"

"I was like, 'Oh, young girl. Walk away,'" she continued. "He is messed up, you know? This guy is never going to change. He's a dog. He always will be a dog. And so, that's where literally the idea came up."
