Take A Hint
Elizabeth Gillies & Victoria Justice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can always see 'em coming, from the left or from the right
I don't want to be a priss, I'm just try'na be polite
But it always seems to bite me in the
Ask me for my number, yeah, you put me on the spot
You had me at "hello", then you opened up your mouth
And that is when it started going south
Oh!
Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop your staring at my hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
No you can't buy me a drink, let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
T-take a hint, take a hint
I guess you still don't get it, so let's take it from the top
You asked me what my sign is, and I told you it was "stop"
And if I had a dime for every name that you just dropped
You'd be here and I'd be on a yacht
Oh!
Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop your staring at my hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
No you can't buy me a drink, let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
T-take a hint, take a hint
What about "no" don't you get?
So go and tell your friends
I'm not really interested
It's about time that you're leavin'
I'm gonna count to three and
Open my eyes and
You'll be gone
One
Get your hands off my
Two
Or I'll punch you in the
Three
Stop your staring at my hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
I am not your missing link
Let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
Take a hint, take a hint
Woah!
Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop your staring at my hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
T-take a hint, take a hint

The opening lines of the song convey the frustration of the singer being hit on by the boys she has no interest in. She can see them coming from a distance and tries to avoid them, but they always put her in an uncomfortable situation. She doesn't want to lash out or be rude, but her politeness always seems to backfire.
The singer goes on to explain how the boy keeps asking for her number and tries to hook up with her, but she's not interested. She tells him to take a hint and leave her alone.
