[Verse 1]
According to you
I'm stupid, I'm useless
I can't do anything right
According to you
I'm difficult, hard to please
Forever changing my mind
I'm a mess in a dress
Can't show up on time
Even if it would save my life
According to you
According to you
[Chorus]
But according to him
I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him
I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite
I don't feel like stopping it
So baby, tell me what I've got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you
[Verse 2]
According to you
I'm boring, I'm moody
And you can't take me any place
According to you
I suck at telling jokes
'Cause I always give it away
I'm the girl with the worst attention span
You're the boy who puts up with that
According to you
According to you
[Chorus]
But according to him
I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him
I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite
I don't feel like stopping it
So baby, tell me what I've got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you
[Bridge]
I need to feel appreciated
Loved, not hated, oh, no
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad you're making me decide
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
But according to me
You're stupid, you're useless
You can't do anything right
[Chorus]
But according to him
I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him
I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite
I don't feel like stopping it
Baby, tell me what I've got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you (You, you)
According to you (You, you)
[Outro]
According to you
I'm stupid
I'm useless
I can't do anything right

The whole thing about the song is you want to be treated well. Everyone in a relationship wants to feel they are wanted and not taken for granted. You want it to be mutual — it’s a self-esteem thing. Getting in with a guy who doesn’t treat you well and keeps you down. The song is about stepping away...
