Dare
Ford Willa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do they see
Looking at you
Could they see a dare
Could they see a dare
Show them that you care
Gazing eyes and wondering minds
Are coming after you
As your standing there
As he steps your way
Steps across the floor
Coming onto you
Here is what you do
Do exactly what I say
Nasty lady Show them what they really want
Follow me
Say what they really want
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
And what they really need
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
Now listen to me sing
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
Now say it back to me
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
Listen up boys
You should know I don't believe you
(Something could be wrong,
show them you can front (?) )
I'll (?) do own you
They'll control your thoughts
And haunt your dreams
As your standing there
As he steps your way
Across the floor (Ooh)
Coming onto you
Here is what you do
Do exactly what I say...
Nasty lady
Show them what they really want
Follow me
Say what they really want
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
And what they really need
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
Now listen to me sing
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
Now say it back to me
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
When it feels so good you can't let go
Your body goes in overload
You cannot hide the way you feel
It make you feel, it feels so real, Ooh
Say what they really want
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
And what they really need
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
Now listen to me sing
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
Now say it back to me
(Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty)
Nasty lady
Show them what they really want
And follow me my baby
Nasty lady
Show them what they really want
Follow me
Bring it all come to me
If you're really (nasty)
Let me know, we can go, if you want (nasty)
Nasty, come on say "nasty"
Ooh
Nasty, come on say "nasty"
Ooh
The song "Dare" by Ford Willa is about a woman embracing her sexuality and being confident in herself. The lyrics encourage the woman to show the world what she's made of and to not be afraid to be a little "nasty." The song acknowledges the way society views women who are comfortable with their sexuality, as well as the pressures women face to conform to societal norms. The lyrics also suggest that by being confident and embracing her sexuality, a woman can take control of her own life and desires.
The first verse sets the scene for the rest of the song by asking questions about what others might see when they look at the woman. The lyrics "?Could they see a dare, could they see a dare? Show them that you care," suggest that the woman should be confident in herself and show the world what she's capable of. The chorus then encourages the woman to be "nasty" and to show everyone what they really want and need. It's about breaking free from societal norms and being true to oneself.
Overall, the song "Dare" promotes the idea of self-love and confidence, and encourages women to embrace their sexuality and not be ashamed of it.
