Bif Naked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With his groping, watching eyeballs
Gross! We women, we are supposed to
Just drop our eyes and be quiet
Just don't look at the gross, gross man
And hope he quits ogling
Believe it or not,
But I don't, 'cause we women don't
Once I gave the finger to a bunch
Of construction dudes,
But they were yelling really bad stuff
About my "cookie"
It just got 'em all riled up,
And then they yelled, "dyke!"
And I had PMS so I cried all the way home
Gross, gross man still gawking
As I sit here writing... what's he thinking?
Gee, maybe I'll invite him up
To my sex den and he can fondle my boobies
Yeah, right!
Stupid gross man, quit staring!
Gosh, he just won't let up
It makes me feel really uncomfortable
I wish I could just crawl under a rock!
'Cause we women are supposed to
Just feel bad about ourselves
Like we're doing something wrong
I'm not!
I swear!
Being "we women" sucks!
Fuck you!

Line by Line Meaning
He keeps looking at me
The gross man is staring at me continuously
With his groping, watching eyeballs
The man's intent in staring is questionable
Gross! We women, we are supposed to
Women are expected to ignore such a stare and be submissive
Just drop our eyes and be quiet
To avoid attention, women are meant to avert their gaze
Just don't look at the gross, gross man
The only way to avoid harassment is to cut off eye contact
And hope he quits ogling
The situation will better only when the man stops looking
Believe it or not,
The situation is difficult
I want to flip him the bird, ya know?
She wants to show him a middle finger, but it's not that simple
But I don't, 'cause we women don't
Women are not expected to retaliate as it may lead to further trouble
Once I gave the finger to a bunch
She tried doing that once before
Of construction dudes,
But the group harassing her ended up doing worse
But they were yelling really bad stuff
Their comments were disgusting
About my "cookie"
They were vulgar about her body
It just got 'em all riled up,
Her response made things worse
And then they yelled, "dyke!"
The abusers stooped to homophobic slurs
And I had PMS so I cried all the way home
The abuse took a toll on her while she was already emotionally distraught
Gross, gross man still gawking
The man is still staring even now
As I sit here writing... what's he thinking?
She's wondering what is going on in his mind
Gee, maybe I'll invite him up
The man's stare is suggestive of his intentions
To my sex den and he can fondle my boobies
He might rape her even in her hypothetical joke
Yeah, right!
The thought itself is ridiculous
Stupid gross man, quit staring!
She's requesting him to stop with expletives now
Gosh, he just won't let up
The man is not stopping his stare despite her distress
It makes me feel really uncomfortable
The stare is making her distressed
I wish I could just crawl under a rock!
She wants to escape this harassment
'Cause we women are supposed to
The societal norms place women at a disadvantage
just feel bad about ourselves
Such harassment makes women feel downtrodden
Like we're doing something wrong
Women are often blamed for the abuse they face
I'm not!
She did nothing to deserve such harassment
I swear!
She asserts her innocence
Being "we women" sucks!
Society mistreats women as a collective whole
Fuck you!
The singer lampoons the societal biases
