Here is the Full Meaning of Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter
“I know I have good judgment, I know I have good taste
It’s funny and it’s ironic that only I feel that way
I promise ’em that you’re different and everyone makes mistakes
But just don’t”
Meaning:
The singer expresses confidence in their own judgment and taste, though it’s ironic that they seem to be the only one who thinks so. They’ve been defending someone (likely a partner) to others, insisting this person is different despite their mistakes. The plea “But just don’t” suggests a request for the partner not to prove others right by making another mistake.
“I heard that you’re an actor, so act like a stand-up guy
Whatever devil’s inside you, don’t let him out tonight
I tell them it’s just your culture and everyone rolls their eyes
Yeah, I know
All I’m asking, baby”
Meaning:
The artist mentions that the partner is an actor, metaphorically asking them to behave well (“act like a stand-up guy”). They acknowledge the partner’s inner struggles (“devil’s inside you”) and request them to keep it in check. The speaker has been making excuses for the partner’s behavior (blaming it on their culture), but others are skeptical (“everyone rolls their eyes”). The speaker is pleading for better behavior.
“Please, please, please
Don’t prove I’m right
And please, please, please
Don’t bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice
Heartbreak is one thing, my ego’s another
I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf*cker
Ah, oh
Please, please, please (Ah, ah, ah)”
Meaning:
The singer is pleading for the partner not to confirm their worst fears. They don’t want to be made to cry, especially after getting ready (doing makeup). While they acknowledge heartbreak as painful, they emphasize that their ego is also at stake, indicating a desire to avoid public embarrassment.
“Well, I have a fun idea, babe (Uh-huh), maybe just stay inside
I know you’re craving some fresh air, but the ceiling fan is so nice (It’s so nice, right?)
And we could live so happily if no one knows that you’re with me
I’m just kidding, but really (Kinda), really, really”
Meaning:
The artist suggests humorously that the partner should stay indoors to avoid trouble. They acknowledge the partner’s desire to go out but downplay it by suggesting the ceiling fan as a substitute. The line about living happily if no one knows they’re together is half-joking but hints at the speaker’s fear of public exposure and the partner’s potential for embarrassing behavior.
“Please, please, please (Please don’t prove I’m right)
Don’t prove I’m right
And please, please, please
Don’t bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice
Heartbreak is one thing (Heartbreak is one thing), my ego’s another (Ego’s another)
I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf*cker
Ah, oh
Please, please, please (Ah, ah, ah)”
Meaning:
This repetition reinforces the plea for the partner not to confirm the speaker’s fears or cause emotional pain and public embarrassment.
“If you wanna go and be stupid
Don’t do it in front of me
If you don’t wanna cry to my music
Don’t make me hate you prolifically
Please, please, please (Please)
Please, please, please (Please)
Please (Please), please (Please), please
(Ah)”
Meaning:
The singer warns the partner that if they must act foolishly, they should do it away from them. There’s a plea for the partner to avoid actions that would cause the speaker to feel intense dislike or hatred. The repeated “please” underscores the desperation in the artist’s requests.
