Bif Naked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's running down yer shirt
You took my little heart
And then ya threw it in the dirt
I won't go near yer locker
And I cannot wash my hair
I can't believe you betrayed me
And filled me with despair
I can't believe
Horrible truth about you
Because you lied to me
I am only the girl
Who was in love with you
But, now you lied
I have developed frog-eyes
From crying all the time
I won't go out
And skate with my friends
I'll only stay inside
You ran around, behind my back
With a pretty, blue-eyed girl
I am so sick of missing you
I think I'm gonna hurl
I can't believe
Horrible truth about you
Because you lied to me
I am only the girl
Who was in love with you
But, now you lied
I can't believe you lied to me
I can't believe you
(I am only the girl who was in love with you)
I can't believe
Horrible truth about you
Because you lied to me
I am only the girl
Who was in love with you
But, now you lied to me
{Bif:} {sportin' the "x"s on her hands} Self-discipline requires doing
What is necessary, when it should be done,
Whether it is a pleasant task or not
A straight-edge lifestyle is personal choice
If my coffee consumption
Ain't straight-edge enough for you
Then **** me with a double, skim cappuccino
{Bif:} Um: hellooooo!!
Get a ******* hold of yourself!!
No complaining!!
Are you starving?
No?
Then let's have a little perspective,
Shall we see a therapist
Switch to decaf, lay off the pills
Try some stretching
Take five
Have a time out
Write it down
Make a painting
Have a hot bath
Quit hanging onto past hurts
Forgive all to get over all
And get on with it!
Puh-leeeze!
Develop some humor
Laugh it off
Yuk it up
Don't be mean
Karma is instant
There is no coincidence
Live today
Try - ok?
{Bif:} {crying} Ring upa ambulance.
The song "Only the Girl" by Bif Naked is about a heartbroken girl who has been lied to by someone she was in love with. The girl reveals that her love for this person was like an "ice-cold latte" and now it's running down his shirt. The boy took her heart and threw it into the dirt, leaving her devastated. The girl cannot wash her hair, and she won't go near his locker. She's filled with despair and feels sick of missing him.
The girl has developed "frog-eyes" from crying all the time, and she won't go out and skate with her friends. She's found out that he's been running around behind her back with another girl. The girl is angry and hurt by his betrayal and can't believe that he lied to her. She's only "the girl" who was in love with him, but now the truth has been revealed, and she's left with heartache.
In the final part of the song, Bif Naked speaks out about self-discipline and how it requires doing things that are necessary, even if they're not pleasant. She talks about her coffee consumption and how it's her personal choice, but if it's not enough for you, then "**** me with a double, skim cappuccino." She urges her listeners not to complain and to express their emotions in different ways, like seeing a therapist or making a painting. She encourages people to get over the past hurt and move on to live their lives with humor and not to be mean.

My love's an ice-cold latte
My love is cold and distant
And it's running down yer shirt
You don't care about my love and it's hurting me
You took my little heart
You took advantage of my feelings
And then ya threw it in the dirt
You hurt me and left me feeling worthless
I won't go near yer locker
I can't bear to be near you
And I cannot wash my hair
I am so heartbroken that I can't even take care of myself
I can't believe you betrayed me
I trusted you and you broke my heart
And filled me with despair
You left me feeling hopeless and helpless
I have developed frog-eyes
I've been crying so much that my eyes are swollen
From crying all the time
I've been crying non-stop
I won't go out
I don't want to face the world
And skate with my friends
I don't want to do the things I used to enjoy
You ran around, behind my back
You cheated on me
With a pretty, blue-eyed girl
With someone else who caught your eye
I am so sick of missing you
I'm tired of feeling sad and lonely without you
I think I'm gonna hurl
I feel sick to my stomach because of what you did
Self-discipline requires doing
Being disciplined means doing what needs to be done
What is necessary, when it should be done,
Doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done
Whether it is a pleasant task or not
Regardless of whether it's something enjoyable or not
A straight-edge lifestyle is personal choice
Choosing a lifestyle of abstinence is a personal choice
If my coffee consumption
If the amount of coffee I drink
Ain't straight-edge enough for you
Isn't abstinent enough for you
Then **** me with a double, skim cappuccino
Then you can criticize me to your heart's content
Um: hellooooo!!
Wake up and snap out of it!
Get a ******* hold of yourself!!
Take control of your emotions!
No complaining!!
Stop complaining and start taking action
Are you starving?
Do you have anything to be truly upset about?
No?
Then stop feeling sorry for yourself
Then let's have a little perspective,
Let's put things in perspective
Shall we see a therapist
Maybe we should seek professional help
Switch to decaf, lay off the pills
Cut back on stimulants and find healthier ways to cope
Try some stretching
Take care of your body and try to relieve stress
Take five
Take a break
Have a time out
Take some time off to relax and recharge
Write it down
Express your feelings through writing
Make a painting
Express yourself creatively
Have a hot bath
Take care of yourself and treat yourself to something relaxing
Quit hanging onto past hurts
Let go of past hurts and move on
Forgive all to get over all
Forgive those who have wronged you in order to find peace
And get on with it!
And move forward
Puh-leeeze!
Seriously, stop feeling sorry for yourself
Develop some humor
Find the humor in your situation
Laugh it off
Laugh at yourself and your situation
Yuk it up
Laugh and have fun
Don't be mean
Don't take your anger out on others
Karma is instant
What goes around comes around
There is no coincidence
Things happen for a reason
Live today
Live in the present moment
Try - ok?
Give it a try
Ring upa ambulance.
I am so overwhelmed and emotional that it feels like an emergency

amazing song

She always rocks..'tougher than your mama's meatballs' as her slogan is. I would recommend Holly McNarland and Tracy Bonham if you don't know them already. Veruca Salt, L7 and Lunachicks are more mainstream but similarly amazeballs as well :) Thanks for the love and glad you enjoyed!

Actually, thank you! I haven't heard of some of Tracy Bonham, L7 of the Lunachicks. Well, there goes my day, going to be busy getting into some new albums for me. :) I remember hanging to this album while I was getting heavily bullied and using it to get through those times. Her music helped me so much. Then I got to meet her later in her career when she appeared on Elvira Kurt's old show and she was so sweet and understanding when I sputtered like a nervous wreck about her music, lol.
