Bitch
Clawfinger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What the hell is wrong with you have you lost your mind
You know we never go out this late
You're making me look stupid and now I'm feeling mad
It must have been something you ate

I used to love you but now I'm not so sure
There's something about your whole attitude
I've got this feeling eatin' straight through my brain
All you ever think about is food

But you're still my bitch

Everytime we go out for a walk in the park
You're always barking up the wrong tree
Now you just want attention from the opposite sex
I know that you're just using me

Sometimes when you get angry you show me your teeth
But I know your bark is worse than your bite
And then when you get hungry it's a whole different deal
You act like everything is alright

But you're still my bitch

You always try to play those tricks with my mind
But bitch I know a trick or two
For everytime you try to make me loosen your leash
You know I'll have to punish you

You look at me and throw yourself at me feet
Hoping I might pat you on the back
But I'm not gonna go there, I won't fall for that
Not until you cut me some slack





But you're still my bitch

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Bitch" by Clawfinger are an interesting take on a tumultuous relationship, though the relationship in question is between a human and a dog. The song features various instances throughout a day where the singer is fed up with their dog's behavior. From going out too late to barking up the wrong tree, the dog's "whole attitude" is causing frustration. The singer's feelings about their dog are complicated as they express love for it but also feel incredibly irritated by its singular focus on food.


The lyrics of the song suggest that the singer longs for a more meaningful relationship with their dog, one that involves some emotional or intellectual connection. They lament the fact that their dog is only interested in food and doesn't seem to appreciate or notice anything else. The use of the word "bitch" throughout the song is an interesting choice, as it means both a female dog and a derogatory term for a woman. This could be interpreted as a commentary on how people change in relationships, whether it's a human or a dog.


Overall, "Bitch" is a humorous but thought-provoking song about love, loyalty, and frustration. It asks us to consider our own relationships and the ways in which our behavior can affect those we love, even if those we love are furry, four-legged creatures.
