ジュディ・オング Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all
But you never give
Should've known you was trouble
From the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?

Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is...

I'd catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same

No, no, no, no

Black, black, black and blue
Beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said "Hey" when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman
That's just what you are
Yeah, you smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car

Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is...

I'd catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on the blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same

If my body was on fire
Oh, you would watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
'Cause you never ever ever did, baby

But, darling, I'd still catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on the blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same

No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same




Oh, you'd never do the same
Oh, no no no

Overall Meaning

The song "Grenade" by Bruno Mars is a tragic depiction of a one-sided love story. The song starts by describing the unfair dynamics of the relationship, where the person receiving all the love and affection doesn't reciprocate any of it. The singer of the story knew from the beginning that their love interest was trouble, but they still gave their all to this person. The chorus is a declaration of the true extent of their devotion. They would catch a grenade, throw their hand on a blade, or even take a bullet for their love interest, but they know that the same wouldn't be done for them. Furthermore, they describe how they have been treated terribly, beaten down, and lied to. Despite this, they continue to pledge their devotion to the person.


The song is not just a love ballad. It is a universal story of unrequited love that one can relate to in various authenticities. The lyrics are straightforward and simplistic, making it easier for people who have experienced a one-sided relationship to connect with the song.

この唄を聴くと当時付き合ってた伸子を思い出す。あれから40年過ぎ、伸子は幸せな家庭を築いてるだろうな。それに比べワシは貧困孤独な底辺生活。あの時伸子と一緒になってれば…

@user-ix8nl4wp2r

名曲。

@sanae418

I was 12 years old back in 1976. I remember that I listened this song through radio and I pictureized that a lady got feeling of end of the relationship.... It is sad, but beautiful song.

@user-tu4wl6bm6r
