You Got the Job
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If smiling raver, chubby,
Girls with fragrant
Barretted blond curls
Won't lead you to stray
You got the job!

If you don't mind
Cigarette smoke
Or my addiction to diet coke
And sex night and day
You got the job!

If you promise not to
Make me cry
And never ever tell a lie
When I'm on the road
You got the job!

If you love me
Just for who I am
I'll love you back forever




And baby I'm sold
You got the job!

Overall Meaning

The song "You Got the Job" by Bif Naked talks about the expectations and standards of a relationship as viewed by the singer. The lyrics use humor and irony to describe the ideal partner for the singer. She seems to be looking for someone who will not judge or try to change her, someone who accepts her as she is. The first verse mentions chubby smiling ravers and girls with fragrant barretted blond curls. This could be interpreted as a playful way of saying that the singer is not interested in superficial things or social status, but rather someone who is genuine and accepting of others.


The second verse mentions cigarette smoke and addiction to diet coke, which could be considered flaws or strange habits. However, the singer seems to be saying that if you can accept these qualities about her, then you are qualified for the position of her partner. The last two lines of each verse introduce the title of the song, "You got the job!", implying that by meeting these expectations, the person is "hired" to be the singer's partner.


The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the ideal partner should accept the singer for who she is, promising not to make her cry or tell a lie when she's on the road. The last line of the chorus is the most important, "If you love me just for who I am, I'll love you back forever and baby I'm sold", conveying the message that unconditional love and acceptance is key in a successful relationship.
