Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you better hurry, for you and I to make it
It'd be a good story
If you came back as the underdog (rah)
If you came back as the underdog
I'll call it
Your drunken words were honest
And baby, you worry
And drippin' with words, just prayin'
That you came back as the underdog (rah)
That you came back as the underdog (rah)
Come in my bed, come back to heaven
Back in my bed, come back to heaven
Back in my bed, come back to heaven
Back in my bed
Why don't you step to me?
You know I like it in the bath when it's bubbly
And-a-when-a-come-a-to-ya-kisses I like gluttony
Even though I got a reputation unaccompanied
Baby you could make this
Baby you could make it as the underdog
Baby you could make this
Baby you could make it as the underdog
I'm pleading
I want you when you mean it
But you better back it up
My breath is getting heated
Baby, just hurry
'Cause you come back as the underdog (rah)
'Cause you come back as the underdog (rah)
Come in my bed, come back to heaven
Back in my bed, come back to heaven
Back in my bed, come back to heaven
Back in my bed
Why don't you step to me?
You know I like it in the bath when it's bubbly
And-a-when-a-come-a-to-ya-kisses I like gluttony
Even though I got a reputation unaccompanied
Baby you could make this
Baby you could make it as the underdog
Baby you could make this
Baby you could make it as the underdog
You got what you wanted
I'll do what you say
We've already started
Don't throw it away
You know that you got me
Let's do this today
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Why don't you step to me?
You know I like it in the bath when it's bubbly
And-a-when-a-come-a-to-ya-kisses I like gluttony
Even though I got a reputation unaccompanied
Baby you could make this
Baby you could make it as the underdog
Why don't you step to me?
You know I like it in the bath when it's bubbly
And-a-when-a-come-a-to-ya-kisses I like gluttony
Even though I got a reputation unaccompanied
Baby you could make this
Baby you could make it as the underdog
Baby you could make this
Baby you could make it as the underdog
Baby you could make this
Baby you could make it as the underdog
The song "Underdog" by Banks is a story about a relationship that's on the rocks. The singer expresses her doubts and skepticism about the relationship, saying that she doesn't want to fake it. However, she sees potential in the relationship, hoping that the person she's with would come back as the "underdog." The term "underdog" seems to refer to the idea of someone making a comeback or proving themselves in a difficult situation. According to the singer, if this were to happen, it would make for a good story. She believes that the other person's "drunken words" were honest and wishes they would back them up.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "baby you could make it as the underdog" several times, as if encouraging the other person to fight for the relationship. The singer then calls on the other person to come back to her bed, saying that she likes it "bubbly" and that she likes their kisses. The song ends with the singer repeating the idea that the other person could make a comeback and prove themselves.
One possible interpretation of the song is that the singer is testing the other person's commitment to the relationship. She wants to know if they are willing to fight for it and make a comeback. Alternatively, the song could be about a relationship that has already ended and the singer is hoping for a reconciliation. Overall, Banks' poignant and emotional lyrics capture the ups and downs of a troubled relationship.
