Petty Beauty: Unveiling the Power of Self-Validation in Aleandro Valente's Anthem
Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
If you don't tell me I'm pretty
If you don't affirm my beauty
I can become so ugly
My self-esteem may suffer, and I might appear unattractive
Tell me what you think I should see
Share your perspective on what's worth noticing
From your point of (View)
From your viewpoint
And if you don't tell me you love me
If you don't declare love
You will not get to touch me
I won't be receptive to physical affection
Tell me what you think I should feel
Guide me on what emotions to experience
From your point of (View)
From your viewpoint
So tell me what you wan't
Express your desires
What it is that you need from me boy (Oh oh)
Specify your needs from me
So if you don't tell me I'm pretty (Pretty)
If you omit affirming my beauty
I will become so Petty
I'll become resentful and small-minded
You don't wanna see me
Warning that this attitude is undesirable
Petty (Petty)
Small-minded, trivial
Petty (Petty)
Repetition for emphasis
And if you don't tell me you love me (Love me)
If you don't express love
You will not get to touch me
No intimacy without verbal affirmation
I'm so Petty Petty
Reiterating a tendency towards pettiness
So Petty yeah
Confirming a small-minded attitude
I just don't wan't it
Rejecting something undesirable
If you don't flaunt me
If you don't showcase me
If you don't act like
Behave as if I'm the most valuable
I am the main price
Affirming self-worth
Tell me my shits's tight
Validate my appearance
If you wan't no fights
Avoid conflicts if you want access
'N maybe you'll get to this (Yeah yeah yeah)
Possibly implying a reward for compliance
So tell me what you wan't
Repeat of expressing desires
What it is that you need from me boy
Specify your needs from me
Boy
Reiteration
No no no no (Yeah yeah yeah)
Strong rejection
If you don't tell me I'm pretty (Pretty)
If you neglect affirming my beauty
