Don't Trust Me
3OH!3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got the breath of the last cigarette on my teeth.
And she's an actress, but she ain't got no need.
She's got money from parents in a trust fund back east.
Tongues, always pressed to your cheeks.
While my tongue is on the inside of some other girl's teeth.
Tell your boyfriend, if he says he's got beef,
She wants to touch me
She wants to love me
She'll never leave me
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust a ho
(Cause the ho) won't trust me.
She wants to touch me
She wants to love me
She'll never leave me
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust a ho
(Cause the ho) won't trust me.
X's on the back of your hands,
Wash them in the bathroom to drink like the bands,
And the set list, you stole off the stage
Has red and purple lipstick all over the page.
Bruises cover your arms
Shaking in the fingers with the bottle in your palm,
And the best is, no one knows who you are.
Just another girl alone at the bar.
She wants to touch me
She wants to love me
She'll never leave me
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust a ho
(Cause the ho) won't trust me.
She wants to touch me
She wants to love me
She'll never leave me
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust a ho
(Cause the ho) 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.
She wants to touch me
She wants to love me
She'll never leave me
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust a ho
(Cause the ho) won't trust me.
She wants to touch me
She wants to love me
She'll never leave me
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust a ho
(Cause the ho) won't trust me.
The lyrics of 3OH!3's song "DONTTRUSTME" describe the shallow and promiscuous lifestyle of a girl who is wearing a black dress with tights underneath. She's an actress who doesn't need to work hard because she receives money from her parents back east in a trust fund. The singer describes how he has been with other girls, and that she should tell her boyfriend that he's not afraid of him. The girl wants to touch and love the singer, but he warns not to trust her because he knows she won't trust him.
The second verse of the song continues to describe the girl's lifestyle. She has x's on the back of her hands, which are remnants of a club event, and she washes them in the bathroom to drink like the bands. She has stolen the set list with lipstick all over it, and her arms are covered in bruises from partying too hard. The girl is alone at the bar, and no one really knows who she is.
In the chorus, the singer repeats the warning of not trusting this promiscuous girl, and she continues to want to touch and love him. The bridge tells the girl to be quiet, and to "do the Helen Keller" and talk with her hips, revealing the shallow nature of their conversation.
Overall, "DONTTRUSTME" is a song that highlights the shallow and promiscuous lifestyle of some individuals, but also points towards the way society treats those with a privileged background. The song warns against trusting individuals who live this lifestyle and encourages individuals to be aware of the harm caused by them.

@Cult Mechanicus I listen to a lot of music and I think out of all the lines in music, that one is my favorite. He has his own opinion just like you. It has absolutely no relation to whether or not he listens to a lot of music.
