Bobby Nunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
& She sits behind her desk
From 9 to 5
Uhuh
But when the night comes
She lets her hair down
And she really comes alive
Oh yea
And she screams and shouts
And jumps right out her seat
She says that michael
Is the only one who makes her body weak
(All my friends keep saying)
She is just a groupie
(Dont you get i love her soul)
She is just a groupie
(And i just cant let her go)
She is just a groupie
(She is such a lovely soul)
She is just a groupie
The lyrics of Bobby Nunn's song She's Just a Groupie depict a woman who leads a double life. During the day, she works at her desk, but at night, she is a passionate fan of music. She lets her hair down and comes alive when the night comes. She attends concerts, screams, and jumps out of her seat when she hears her favorite artist, Michael. Despite her love for music, she is judged by others and labeled as a groupie. Even though Bobby Nunn's friends keep telling him that she is just a groupie, he cannot let her go as he loves her soul.
The lyrics of the song highlight the negative connotations associated with the term 'groupie.' Historically, the term 'groupie' was used to describe women who followed bands and musicians for the sake of sexual encounters. Over time, the term has evolved, and women who are passionate about music can still be labeled as groupies. The lyrics show that the woman in the song is not pursuing anything sexual, but she is simply a fan of the music. Despite this, she is still labeled using the derogatory term 'groupie.'
Overall, the song's lyrics highlight that a person's love and devotion towards music should not be judged negatively. The song encourages appreciating music without attaching negative labels to those who love it.

Bobby Nunn came from out of nowhere. This song was a Monstrous hit. Still can't believe it is not revered. He should b in the funk Hall of Fame for forever for this one cut.
@Zan_zelee
Yeah but Carl Carlton She’s A Bad Mama Jama has more views. Same year same time.
@bobdavis4848
Having been Rick James' keyboardist and one of his background singers isn't exactly nowhere. Anyway yeah this is great.
@bourgeoisbrats
Right. This is a very under-rated song, to me. The horn arrangement is killer. Kind of reminds me of Michael Henderson's "Wide Receiver"...which has equally funny lyrics :-)
@iannavarrete9101
Damn, funk at its best!! Can’t get music like this anymore.
@joejokool
I'm 23, born in '87, and even though this was before my time, i am SO GLAD my parents were brought up with stuff like this, because they schooled me to old school, and i refuse to listen to what's new on the radio because THEY DON'T DO IT LIKE THIS ANYMORE. THIS IS THE MUSIC I LOVE. Thanks mom. thanks dad. I LOVE YOU :)
