In Your Face
Britt Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're turning up the heat boy

But you won't even burn me

Cause I can take care of myself

So you can save your breath now
And your testosterone

And try it out on someone else



Don't try and push me

Or invade my space

If you push me too far

I'll get in your face



You can't take no for an answer

A boy like you doesn't understand

What part of no has you confused

Do yourself a favor

Keep your hands to yourself

Or more than your ego will get bruised



I'm turning up the heat boy

I won't put up with it again

You took the low road





This is the end
