MoneyGrabber
Fitz and the Tantrums Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is your pay back, money grabber.
Don't come back anytime, you've already run me dry.
This is your pay back, money grabber.
Teardrops fade.
Then I saw, blue hands in the pocket.
'Cause you were always made to want it all.
But now you got to make it on your own.
This ain't your home.
So I'm showing you the door.
Wave goodbye now, it's time for you to go.
Don't comeback anytime, I've already had your kind.
This is you pay back, money grabber.
Don't come back anytime, you've already robbed me blind.
This is your pay back, money grabber.
Blue rhinestone glass.
All I see.
You talking double.
Like the time you set fire to me.
'Cause I'm in trouble.
Here's my advice.
I don't think twice for the price of a cheap time whore.
Don't comeback anytime, I've already had your kind.
This is you pay back, money grabber.
Don't come back anytime, you've already robbed me blind.
this is your pay back, money grabber.
One. Two. Leave.
One is for the money.
Two is for the greed.
And three times that I told you you're the one,
I just don't need.
Don't comeback anytime, I've already had your kind.
This is you pay back, money grabber.
Don't come back anytime, you've already robbed me blind.
This is your pay back, money grabber.
Money grabber.
Money grabber.
Don't come back anytime, I've already had your kind.
The lyrics of Fitz and the Tantrums's MoneyGrabber describe a situation where the singer is fed up with someone who only comes around when they want money. The singer has been used and manipulated by this person and is now taking revenge by telling them not to come back. The use of "money grabber" as an insult is a reflection of how the singer feels about the other person's actions - greedy and selfish.
The chorus repeats the message that the other person is no longer welcome, and they will not be taken advantage of again. The singer has had enough and is putting a stop to the manipulation. The second verse highlights the other person's deceitful behavior, describing how they talk in a way to get what they want without caring about the impact on the singer. The reference to a "cheap time whore" is a strong insult, implying that the other person is only interested in satisfying their own desires and not concerned with anyone else's well-being.
Overall, MoneyGrabber is a song about standing up for oneself and taking control of a situation where someone else has been using and manipulating for their own selfish gain.
