Glamorous )
Fergie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home
You say: If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

Wear them gold and diamonds rings
All them things don't mean a thing
Chaperons and limousines
Shopping for expensive things

I be on the movie screens
Magazines and boogie scenes
I'm not clean, I'm not pristine
I'm n queen, I'm no machine

I still go to Taco Bell
Drive through, raw as Hell
I don't care, I'm still real
No matter how many records I sell

After the show or after the Grammys
I like to go cool out with the family
Sippin', reminiscing on days when I had a Mustang
And now I'm in

We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

I'm talking Champagne wishes, caviar dreams
You deserve nothing but all the finer things
Now this whole world has no clue to do with us

I've got enough money in the bank for the two of us
Brother gotta keep enough lettuce
To support your shoe fetish
Lifestyles so rich and famous

Robin Leach will get jealous
Half a million for the stones
Takin' trips from here to Rome
So If you ain't got no money take yo' broke ass home

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

I got problems up to here
I've got people in my ear
Telling me these crazy things
That I don't want to know (fuck y'all)

I've got money in the bank
And I'd really like to thank
All the fans, I'd like to thank
Thank you really though

'Cause I remember yesterday
When I dreamt about the days
When I'd rock on MTV, that be really dope
Damn, It's been a long road

And the industry is cold

I'm glad my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know




my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know
my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know

Overall Meaning

The song "Glamorous" by Fergie talks about living a luxurious and glamorous life, filled with first-class flights, popping champagne, and expensive shopping sprees. The lyrics also mention that wearing gold and diamond rings and owning expensive things aren't everything in life. The song portrays that despite being a celebrity, Fergie remains down-to-earth and real, as she still goes to Taco Bell, reminisces with her family, and acknowledges that she worked hard to achieve her glamorous lifestyle.


The chorus, "G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S" is a catchy spelling of the word glamorous, which eventually became a popular wordplay among lyrics and choreography. The song stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 23 weeks and peaked at number one. The music video was shot in Tokyo, and Fergie got the inspiration for the song from her experience of performing there. The song stirred controversy in Australia as it was played in a liquor advertisement, and the country has laid down regulations, banning musicians from endorsing alcohol promotions. The song was also played in a Pepsi commercial in which Fergie was featured.

If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home
If you're not wealthy, stay away


G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
Glamorous lifestyle is what I want and have


We flying the first class Up in the sky Poppin' champagne Livin' my life In the fast lane And I won't change For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
Living life to the maximum and won't change for the world


Wear them gold and diamonds rings All them things don't mean a thing Chaperons and limousines Shopping for expensive things
Wearing expensive jewelry and clothes, going on fancy trips, it's all meaningless


I be on the movie screens Magazines and boogie scenes I'm not clean, I'm not pristine I'm n queen, I'm no machine
Being on the big screen and in magazines, not perfect or robotic, just a normal human being

Still prefer fast food even after becoming a successful artist, staying true to herself

Relaxing with family after events, remembering her humble beginnings


I'm talking Champagne wishes, caviar dreams You deserve nothing but all the finer things Now this whole world has no clue to do with us I've got enough money in the bank for the two of us
Describing extravagant desires that she can fulfill with her wealth, and doesn't care what the world thinks


Brother gotta keep enough lettuce To support your shoe fetish Lifestyles so rich and famous Robin Leach will get jealous
Keeping enough money to support her expensive habits, and living a life so luxurious it would make Robin Leach envious


Half a million for the stones Takin' trips from here to Rome So If you ain't got no money take yo' broke ass home
Buying expensive jewelry and going on lavish trips, once again reiterating that being broke is not welcome


I got problems up to here I've got people in my ear Telling me these crazy things That I don't want to know (fuck y'all)
Dealing with personal issues and people trying to control her, but doesn't want their opinions


I've got money in the bank And I'd really like to thank All the fans, I'd like to thank Thank you really though
Being grateful for her wealth and success, and thanking her fans


Cause I remember yesterday When I dreamt about the days When I'd rock on MTV, that be really dope Damn, It's been a long road And the industry is cold
Reflecting back to her dreams of being on MTV and acknowledging the harsh realities of the industry


I'm glad my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know
Grateful to her father for preparing her for the challenges of the industry and supporting her dreams
