I Am Not a Whore
LMFAO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
But I like to do it
Most girls I meet are quite savage
Always tryin' to grab up on my package
They say I look yummy and they want a taste
But I'm a human not a sandwich
Sometimes I feel like L-L Cool J
I make love not wear them booty
But every girl I try to get to know
Ends up tryin' to do me
I said
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
But I like to do it
Sometimes, I just wanna dance
Girl I know you like my style
But get your hand outta my pants
I am not a whore
(No no no)
I am not a whore
(I'm not your hoe)
I am not a whore
(I just love the music)
I am not a whore
(But I like to do it)
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
I am not a whore
LMFAO's song "I Am Not a Whore" is a tongue-in-cheek response to the constant objectification of men in the music industry. The repeated refrain of "I am not a whore" is a defiant declaration of one's worth as a person beyond their physicality. However, the following line "But I like to do it" suggests that while the individual may not be a whore, they do enjoy sexual experiences.
The verses of the song describe the experiences of being constantly pursued by women for their looks and sexuality. The line "Most girls I meet are quite savage" suggests that women are often portrayed as aggressive in their pursuit of men. The reference to L-L Cool J is an homage to the rapper's smooth and romantic style compared to the heavily sexualized music in the industry. The repetition of "I am not a whore" in the chorus serves to reassert the individual's self-worth.
Overall, the song appears to be a commentary on the double standards faced by men in the music industry, where they are expected to be sexual objects, but also criticized for playing into that role.
