Love Me Already
Black Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spending her time with Theodore
Now Teddy he's my best friend but
With friends like these
Who needs enemies?
My mother she told me
You're being silly
Don't tell me what my problem is
Just tell me what
She's doing at his
Apartment at midnight
I didn't get an invite
Tonight on my birthday
That ain't half right
My best boy Teddy
Goddammit girl, just love me already
Can't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Won't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
My father he told me
Biting and begging
That hurts your knees
You can't treat women like hotels
Why should she love you?
She knows you so well
Now I'm at a payphone
Humming so slow
To a busy tone
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heart beat
(He knocks on Ted's door
Keeping time with his heart beat)
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heart beat
The whore lets me in
And it looks (looks) like (like) a (a) party
Surprise, surprise it's your party, baby
I know you hate secrets but try not to hate me
Teddy and I, we kept it all on the slide
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So love me already
Love me already
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Won't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Can't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Ready baby, ready baby, ready baby
The lyrics to Black Kids' song "Love Me Already" describe a situation in which the singer's girlfriend has been spending time with his best friend, Theodore, who he refers to as a "real whore." The singer's mother tells him "you're being silly" and that he's "talking crazy" for suspecting anything, but the singer is convinced that something is going on. He decides to confront Theodore, and when he knocks on his door, his girlfriend -- the "whore" -- answers the door and reveals that they've been planning a surprise party for his birthday. The song ends with the singer pleading with his girlfriend to love him already.
The lyrics are full of emotion and frustration, as the singer struggles with his suspicions and the fear of losing his girlfriend. The use of the word "whore" to describe his girlfriend and the repeated refrain of "love me already" emphasize the intensity of his feelings, while the surprise party twist at the end adds a touch of humor to the song.
Overall, "Love Me Already" is a catchy and emotionally charged song that touches on themes of jealousy, trust, and love.
