American Idol tired to get punk rocker Pink to change her lyrics for her performance tonight on American Idol. Pink was set to sing 'U + UR Hand' tonight, but the song has now been changed to 'Who Knew', thanks to the "family-friendly" producers. Our friends at TMZ learned exclusively: 'Pink's pre-taped performance of her song "Who Knew" is scheduled to air tonight on "Idol" (after being bumped from the "Idol Gives Back" charity episode), but TMZ has learned that the pop star was originally set to sing her current racy hit, "U + Ur Hand." We're told when the "Idol" powers-that-be realized the song made references to self-love, they asked Pink to alter the lyrics to make them more appropriate for the "family-friendly" show. You know, like an exhumed Elvis! Well-placed sources tell TMZ that Pink wasn't willing to compromise her artistic integrity (you go girl!) and agreed to sing her last single, "Who Knew," instead.' Pink rocks, but the song is a bit racy for young audiences... Here are the lyrics, compliments of AZLyrics.com! U + UR Hand Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh Check it out Going out On the late night Looking tight Feeling nice It's a **** fight I can tell I just know That it's going down Tonight At the door we don't wait cause we know them At the bar six shots just beginning That's when d**k head put his hands on me, But you see CHORUS *I'm not here for your entertainment You don't really want to mess with me tonight Just stop and take a second I was fine before you walked into my life Cause you know it's over Before it began Keep your drink just give me the money It's just you and your hand tonight* Midnight I'm drunk I don't give a ***k Wanna dance By myself Guess you're outta luck Don't touch Back up I'm not the one Buh bye Listen up it's just not happening You can say what you want to your boyfriends Just let me have my fun tonight Aiight CHORUS Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh Break break Break it down In the corner with your boys you bet 'em five bucks You'd get the girl that just walked in but she thinks you suck We didn't get all dressed up just for you to see So quit spilling your drinks on me yeah You know who you are High fivin, talking ****, but you're going home alone arentcha? CHORUS
