Enforce
Some people call me the space cowboy yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause' I speak of the pompetous of love
People talk about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
But don't you worry baby don't worry
Cause' I'm right here at home
Cause' I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
playin' my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a mid-night toker
I get my lovin' on the run
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Ooh wee baby, I sure show you a good time
Cause' I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
playin'my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a mid-night toker
I sure don’t want to hurt no one
(solo)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
People keep talkin' about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong
Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry mama
Cause' I'm right here at home
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
Really love your peaches want to shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Come on baby now, I'll show you a good time
"The Joker" by Enforce is a song with humorous and light-hearted lyrics about a man who is a lover and a sinner but wants his lover to trust him. The song begins with the man being referred to by different names - the space cowboy, the gangster of love, and Maurice. However, he speaks of love, which is the pompetous of love, hence creating a contrast between his persona and his talk about love. People are talking about him, saying he is doing something wrong to his lover, but he asks her not to worry since he is still at home. He emphasizes his love, and he is also a joker, smoker, and a midnight toker - someone who smokes marijuana, as the lyrics suggest, but he doesn't want to hurt anyone.
In the chorus of the song, the man describes himself as a picker, grinner, lover, and sinner, playing his music in the sun. He continues to describe himself as a joker, smoker, and midnight toker, adding that he does not want to hurt anyone. He further compliments his lover and shows his intentions of taking care of her in the lines, "You're the cutest thing I ever did see, really love your peaches, want to shake your tree, lovey-dovey all the time, come on baby now, I'll show you a good time." These lyrics show that the man loves his partner and wants to keep things fun, light, and enjoyable in their relationship.
