I've Underestimated My Charm Again
Black Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like many a male,
I get angst in my pants.
And goddamn it to hell,
It don't help if I dance.

And you, you're not doing too well.
All the blogs are about you, girl.
They caught you in the park after dark
Giving head to a statue, girl.
Oooh.

Didn't mean to do you no harm,
I just underestimated my charm.
And if I ever bother to tell you the truth,
Oh, baby, you're too much sugar
For my sweet tooth.

Didn't mean to do you no harm,
I just underestimated my charm.
And if I ever bother to tell you the truth,
Oh, baby, you're too much sugar
For my sweet tooth.

You're on your honeymoon
And you're sending me notes.
You hope to see me soon.
You've got "see" wrapped
In quotes.
I used to find it funny to say,
"What's your man got to do with me?"
Oh but then I saw him downtown
Placing bets on the hounds.
He was as big as a house!
We can't be messin' around!

Didn't mean to do you no harm,
I just underestimated my charm.
And if I ever bother to tell you the truth,
Oh, baby, you're too much sugar
For my sweet tooth.

Didn't mean to do you no harm,
I just underestimated my charm.
And if I ever bother to tell you the truth,
Oh, baby, you're too much sugar
For my sweet tooth.

Every time we kiss
It's like an inside joke
I always miss.
Our love is like a tug-of-war.
Don't touch me, girl,
I can't hug no more!

Every time we kiss
It's like an inside joke
I always miss.
Our love is like a tug-of-war.




Don't touch me, girl,
I can't hug no more!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Black Kids' "I've Underestimated My Charm Again" tell the story of a man who, despite feeling angsty and dance-motivated, ends up involved in a messy love triangle. The first verse describes his frustration with his own sexual energy and how dancing doesn't help. The second verse introduces a woman who is the subject of many blog posts and rumors, with one particularly salacious rumor involving her with a statue in a park. The chorus reveals that the man didn't mean to do her harm but instead underestimated his own charm.


In the third verse, the woman is now on her honeymoon and sending notes to the man, hoping to see him soon. He used to find it amusing to say, "What's your man got to do with me?" but then saw her husband placing bets on the hounds in a downtown area and realized that they couldn't mess around anymore. The song concludes with a description of their love as a tug-of-war, with the man unable to handle physical contact because it only reminds him of their messy situation.


Line by Line Meaning

Like many a male, I get angst in my pants.
As a man, I sometimes become anxious and unconfident about flirting.


And goddamn it to hell, It don't help if I dance.
Dancing doesn't make me any more confident around women.


And you, you're not doing too well. All the blogs are about you, girl. They caught you in the park after dark Giving head to a statue, girl. Oooh.
There are rumors about you that are not good, including that you were caught in a public place performing lewd acts.


Didn't mean to do you no harm, I just underestimated my charm. And if I ever bother to tell you the truth, Oh, baby, you're too much sugar For my sweet tooth.
I didn't intend to hurt you or lead you on, I just didn't realize how attractive I am to you. You are too good for me to handle.


You're on your honeymoon And you're sending me notes. You hope to see me soon. You've got "see" wrapped In quotes. I used to find it funny to say, "What's your man got to do with me?" Oh but then I saw him downtown Placing bets on the hounds. He was as big as a house! We can't be messin' around!
You are already married and on your honeymoon, yet you are sending me messages and suggesting that we see each other. I used to think that it was harmless to pursue a married woman and disregard her husband, but then I saw him and realized that it was a bad idea.


Every time we kiss It's like an inside joke I always miss. Our love is like a tug-of-war. Don't touch me, girl, I can't hug no more!
Our interactions feel like a joke, and I always misread the situation. Our relationship is like a battle where no one wins. I don't want to initiate any physical contact because it might make things more complicated.

And you, you're not doing too well
All the blogs are about you, girl
They caught you in the park after dark
Giving head to a statue, girl
Oh, cruel!

I just underestimated my charm
And if I ever bother to tell you the truth
Oh, baby, you're too much sugar
For my sweet tooth
