Still Dirrty
Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, oh, oh
If you see me walking down the street
Or in the pages of your magazine
Looking just a little differently
Showing off a softer side of me
They say that love has gone and changed me
But don't be fooled by everything you see
Gotta let the naughty in me free
There's a woman inside of all of us
Who never quite seems to get enough
Trying to play by the rules is rough
'Cause sooner or later something's gonna erupt us
'Cause I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree (still got it)
And if you want some more sexy
Still got that freak in me
I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree (oh yeah)
And if you want some more sexy
Still got that freak in me
No matter what you thinking of me, still dirty
And if you're still rolling with me, still got it
No matter what you thinking of me, still dirty
Still got that freak in me
Why is a woman's sexuality
Always under so much scrutiny?
Why can't she do exactly as she please
Without being called a million things?
They say I'm not the girl they used to know (used to know)
'Cause I don't always wear revealing clothes (oh)
But don't be fooled: the moment I get home (I get home)
I'm letting loose, giving a private show (Don't you know?)
There's some women out there who talk and stare
Who never seem to let down their hair
Like to past judgment, but they're just scared
And don't know what they're missing; so they better beware
'Cause I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree (oh)
And if you want some more sexy
Still got that freak in me
I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree (oh yeah)
And if you want some more sexy
Still got that freak in me (oh yeah)
No matter what you thinking of me, still dirty
And if you're still rolling with me, still got it
No matter what you thinking of me, still dirty
Still got that freak in me
Don't tell me to behave
'Cause I'll never play that game (no)
Don't tell me what to do
'Cause I'll never be uptight like you
Don't look at me that way
'Cause I ain't never gonna change
And if you're talking about my life
You're only wasting your own time
If I want to wear lingerie outside of my clothes
If I want to be erotic in my own videos
If I want to be provocative, well, that ain't a sin
Maybe you're not comfortable in your own skin
I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree (in me)
And if you still want some more sexy
Still got that freak in me
I still got that nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree (in me)
And if you still want some more sexy
Still got freak in me
Oh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh, oh
"Still Dirrty" is a song by Christina Aguilera, and the lyrics talk about the artist's experience of being judged for her evolving image and sexual energy. At the beginning of the song, Christina addresses the public, acknowledging that people may have seen a different version of her in the past, but she is now embracing her sexuality and "showing off a softer side." However, she is still the same person and wants to break free from society's expectations of how a woman should behave.
Line by Line Meaning
If you see me walking down the street
If you happen to see me casually walking down the street
Or in the pages of your magazine
Or if you come across me in the pages of a magazine
Looking just a little differently
And it seems like I am looking slightly different
Showing off a softer side of me
Exhibiting a more subdued and gentle side of myself
They saying I'm looking like a lady
People are commenting that I am looking more ladylike
They say that love has gone and changed me
It's being said that love has altered my personality
But don't be fooled by everything you see
However, appearances can be deceiving
Gotta let the naughty in me free
I need to unleash my mischievous side
There's a woman inside of all of us
Every woman has that inner personality
Who never quite seems to get enough
The one that never seems to be satisfied
Trying to play by the rules is rough
It's difficult to follow all the societal norms
'Cause sooner or later something's gonna erupt us
Eventually, something is going to cause our true nature to emerge
'Cause I still got that nasty in me
I still haven't lost my impish nature
Still got that dirty degree (still got it)
Still possess that rebellious attitude
And if you want some more sexy
And you desire more of my seductive side
Still got that freak in me
I still haven't lost my kinky nature
No matter what you thinking of me, still dirty
No matter what your opinion of me is, I still have that mischievous nature
And if you're still rolling with me, still got it
If you're still supporting me, I still possess that rebellious side
Why is a woman's sexuality
Why are women's sexual preferences scrutinized
Always under so much scrutiny?
Subjected to so much judgment
Why can't she do exactly as she please
Why can't she have the freedom to do what she wants
Without being called a million things?
Without being subjected to a million names
They say I'm not the girl they used to know (used to know)
It is alleged that I have changed as a person from what people knew me to be in the past
'Cause I don't always wear revealing clothes (oh)
As I'm not always dressed in revealing outfits
But don't be fooled: the moment I get home (I get home)
However, don't be deceived, once I'm alone at home
I'm letting loose, giving a private show (Don't you know?)
I'm being my true self and acting mischievously (Don't you know?)
There's some women out there who talk and stare
There are women who speak behind your back and gaze at you
Who never seem to let down their hair
Those women never show their true emotions
Like to past judgment, but they're just scared
They tend to be judgmental, but they are just fearful
And don't know what they're missing; so they better beware
They aren't aware of what they're missing out on; therefore, they should be cautious
Don't tell me to behave
Don't instruct me to act appropriately
'Cause I'll never play that game (no)
Since I am never going to follow your rules (no)
Don't tell me what to do
Don't instruct me on how to act
'Cause I'll never be uptight like you
Since I will never be as strict as you
Don't look at me that way
Don't view me in that manner
'Cause I ain't never gonna change
Because I will never change as a person
And if you're talking about my life
And if you are discussing my life
You're only wasting your own time
You are just wasting your time
If I want to wear lingerie outside of my clothes
If I wish to wear lingerie on top of my clothes
If I want to be erotic in my own videos
If I feel like being titillating in my personal videos
If I want to be provocative, well, that ain't a sin
If I want to be rousing, that is not a crime
Maybe you're not comfortable in your own skin
Maybe you are not confident in your own self
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Still got that nasty in me
I still possess that smart-alecky and devious personality
Still got that dirty degree (in me)
I still haven't lost that naughty and rebellious nature
And if you still want some more sexy
And if you desire more seductiveness
Still got that freak in me
I still haven't lost my kinky and racy side
