Overrated
Giovannie and the Hired Guns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's over me, says I'm overrated
I'm such a freak, yeah, I love the way she hates it
She says I'm a waste of time and I think she might be right (yeah)
Even if I end up fucking famous, she'd say I'm overrated

What did I do this time, mamacita?
Did it cross your mind that I'm no good for you
I've realized you overanalyze everything I do
Thought I was your vato, guess I'm really not though (haha)
Looks like

She's over me, says I'm overrated
I'm such a freak, I love the way she hates it
She says I'm a waste of time and I think she might be right (yeah)
Even if I end up fucking famous, she'd say I'm overrated

Yeah, I've been thinking 'bout this all day lately
And I don't blame you if you really hate me
Been thinking 'bout all the dirty things
All the filthy things we do behind closed doors
I can see how it's getting to your head (to your head)
But I'm just out here tryna make some bread
I thought that we were fine and you were mine, but

She's over me, says I'm overrated
I'm such a freak, I love the way she hates it
She says I'm a waste of time and I think she might be right (yeah)
Even if I end up fucking famous, she'd say I'm overrated

She's over me, says I'm overrated
I'm such a freak, yeah, I love the way she hates it
She says I'm a waste of time and I think she might be right (yeah)




Even if I end up fucking famous, she'd say I'm overrated
She'd say I'm overrated, yeah

I'm glad I got to see you guys before you got too big. One of the best concerts I've been to. Now you have permission to get huge. Definitely deserve it. I hear Ramon Ayala on the radio ALL the time here in Boise.

Man growing up I was so pissed that I missed the glory days of bands I liked. I used to think it would be so cool to find a band before they got huge and go to all the local shows. This band is making that dream come true for me!
