Bow Wow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Finding a way, a way to make whoopee, finding a way, a way to make love
Finding a way, a way to make whoopee, finding a way, a way to make love
Sitting alone in my teepee, finding a way to make him happy
Sitting alone in my teepee, finding a way to make some whoopee
Ooh, I got arrows in my quiver, ooh, I got you here by my side
Oh, and there's much to make me shiver, oh, come with me and spend the night

[chorus]

Smoking my peace-pipe and thinking, why is my bare skin freezing
Smoking my peace-pipe and thinking, why is my bare skin so freezing
Ooh, he's got arrows in his quiver, ooh, I can be and stay his bride
Oh, and there's much that makes him shiver

Oh, when we're staying up all night
Finding a way, finding a way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bow Wow Wow's song Quiver describe the desire to find a way to satisfy sexual desires and make love, while also embracing the Native American teepee setting and using it as a metaphor for intimacy. The singer is sitting alone in her teepee, contemplating how to make her partner happy and find a way to make some “whoopee,” which is a euphemism for sexual activity. The chorus is a repetition of this theme, with the addition of the imagery of smoking a peace-pipe and feeling the freezing cold of the bare skin, perhaps reflecting the vulnerability and intimacy of the moment. The use of arrows in the quiver is another metaphor for sexual potency and desire.
