Too Experienced
Eddie Lovette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She hates the site of me,
Because I turned her offer down.
I think she wanted a clown,
Someone she could take for a ride.
Telling her that I'm:

Too experienced to be taken for a stroll.
Too experienced to let someone take my soul.
Too experienced to be taken for a ride;
I know it's not my foolish pride.

She doesn't want me around,
'Cause I turned her offer down.
She's always saying we were meant to be,
Somehow she thought I'd be her clown.
Telling her that I'm:

Too experienced to be taken for a stroll.
Too experienced to let someone take my soul.
Too experienced to be taken for a ride;
I know it's not my foolish pride.

I'm just too experienced to be taken for a stroll.
Too experienced to let someone take my soul.
Too experienced to be taken for a ride;
I know it's not my foolish pride.

(.)

A girl needs sugar in her heart,
I know where I'm gonna start, yea.
Feeding the candy roll in every day,
I think I can save a little way.

I'm just too experienced to be taken for a stroll.
Too experienced to let someone take my soul.




Too experienced to be taken for a ride;
I know it's not my foolish pride.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eddie Lovette's song "Too Experienced" tell the story of a man who has been pursued by a woman who is looking for someone to take advantage of. The woman in question is not interested in a real relationship, but rather in finding someone who she can manipulate for her own purposes. However, the man knows better than to fall for her tricks. He is too experienced in the ways of love to be taken for a ride.


The chorus of the song repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the fact that the man is not willing to let someone take advantage of him. He knows his value and refuses to compromise it for anyone. The bridge of the song suggests that the woman in question may be looking for an easy way out of her own problems, but the man is not willing to be that solution.


Overall, the song is a message about always knowing your worth and not allowing anyone to take advantage of you. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of getting involved with someone who is not looking for a genuine connection.
