3OH!3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got the breath of the last cigarette on my teeth
And she's an actress (actress)
But she ain't got no need
She's got money from her parents in a trust fund back east
T-t-t-tongues always pressed to your cheeks
While my tongue is on the inside of some other girls teeth
That I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him
She wants to touch me (whoa)
She wants to love me (whoa)
She'll never leave me (whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
'Cause a hoe won't trust me
She wants to touch me (whoa)
She wants to love me (whoa)
She'll never leave me (whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
'Cause a hoe won't trust me
X's on the back of your hands
Wash them in the bathroom to drink like the bands
And your set list (set list)
You stole off the stage
Had red and purple lipstick all over the page
Be-be-be-bruises cover your arms
Shaking in the fingers with the bottle in your palm
And the best is (best is)
No one knows who you are
Just another girl alone at the bar
She wants to touch me (whoa)
She wants to love me (whoa)
She'll never leave me (whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
Cause a hoe won't trust me
She wants to touch me (whoa)
She wants to love me (whoa)
She'll never leave me (whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
'Cause a hoe won't trust me
Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips
I said, Shush girl shut your lips
Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips
I said, Shush girl shut your lips
Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips
Whoa, whoa, whoa
She wants to touch me (whoa)
She wants to love me (whoa)
She'll never leave me (whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
'Cause a hoe won't trust me
She wants to touch me (whoa)
She wants to love me (whoa)
She'll never leave me (whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
'Cause a hoe won't trust me
The song "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3 featuring Kid Cudi is a satirical commentary on the shallow and superficial aspects of pop culture. The opening verse describes a wealthy and privileged girl who is an actress by profession but lacks any real talent or ambition. She is depicted as being self-absorbed and insincere, with her "tongue always pressed to her cheeks."
The song's chorus warns against trusting promiscuous or unfaithful women, referring to them as "hos." The lyrics suggest that such women only care about themselves and cannot be trusted in relationships. The line "Don't trust a ho, cause a hoe won't trust me" emphasizes the idea that these women are not capable of being honest or committed.
The third verse of the song focuses on the concept of image and identity in the music industry. The lyrics describe a girl with "x's on the back of her hands," a common method of marking underage concert attendees. She is portrayed as being a fan of the music and the lifestyle associated with it, but not truly a part of the scene. The girl is described as having bruises on her arms and being shaky with a bottle in her hand, highlighting the destructive and dangerous nature of the rock-star lifestyle.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the superficiality and transitory nature of pop culture, particularly in regards to relationships and identity.
