Moment of Weakness
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stand here in the pouring rain
You couldn't even be there to pick me up.
Yer taking me for granted, again
Yer running outta time, and yer out of luck!

Just a moment of weakness.
I should examine my head!
Just a moment of weakness.
I never meant a word I said!

I'm sick with the Bejing Flu
And you choose not to come home
A week later I caught you
Kissing a girl who was my clone!

Just a moment of weakness.
I should examine my head!
Just a moment of weakness.
I never meant a word I said!

(oh, why should I stay and pretend?
You make me laugh again
My darling, truth-is we are not even friends!
Oh, love comes and it goes.
Where you heart stops no one knows
How did I wind up in this mess, here with you!)

Just a moment of weakness.
I should examine my head!




Just a moment of weakness.
I never meant a word I said!

Overall Meaning

In "Moment Of Weakness," Bif Naked expresses her frustration with a partner who consistently takes her for granted. She stands in the pouring rain, waiting for him to pick her up, but he doesn't show. She feels unappreciated and like he's running out of time, and she's had enough. The chorus, "Just a moment of weakness. I should examine my head! Just a moment of weakness. I never meant a word I said!", suggests that she knows that her anger and resentment may be clouding her judgment, but deep down she knows that her words are true.


The second verse describes a specific incident where Bif was sick with the Bejing flu and her partner chose not to come home to take care of her. A week later, she catches him kissing someone who looks like her. This betrayal adds to her frustration and anger towards him. The bridge laments the fact that they're not even friends, and love can come and go at any moment. Overall, "Moment Of Weakness" is a song about standing up for oneself and recognizing when a relationship is unhealthy and unfulfilling.

Not a lot? I love Bif and this video, but there’s almost no choreography and Bif isn’t an actor. They’re basically just following her as she walks around. That’s not what makes “long take” shots impressive. What makes them impressive is everyone remembering their lines without messing up or complicated staging where everyone has to be at the right points at the right time in order to make it work. This is fun, but not that hard.
