Late Night Bimbo
Ida Corr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems a long time you've been wanting
giving me loving I know you wanna be cool
but I'm freezing over here
Feels like you've been dizzing me for years
Why why why?
'Cause I'm a late night bimbo with no strings attached
A sexual lingo then men understand
Don't make me be a mamma be a wife an honourable lady
Bimbo is what bimbo does let's bimbo tonight
I just wanna be your man and hold your hand
Your lover on demand
Fell on my knees and asked you
hoping you'd say I do
but you wouldn't spend the night
if you couldn't leave without a fight
Why why why?
'Cause I'm a late night bimbo with no strings attached
A sexual lingo then men understand
Don't make me be a mamma be a wife an honourable lady
Bimbo is what bimbo does let's bimbo tonight
That's why, that's why, that's why
That's why, that's why, that's why
That's why, that's why, that's why
That's why, that's why, that's why
Oh my sweet honey don't be so up-tight
You're the only man for me at least for tonight
But how I want then quick relations
You tell me to have a patience
Why why why?
'Cause I'm a late night bimbo with no strings attached
A sexual lingo then men understand
Don't make me be a mamma be a wife an honourable lady
Bimbo is what bimbo does let's bimbo tonight
The song "Late Night Bimbo" by Ida Corr features an empowered female perspective on sexuality and relationships. The lyrics explore the tension between the singer's desire for physical intimacy without emotional attachment, and the societal expectations and pressures placed on women to conform to more traditional roles. The refrain, "I'm a late night bimbo with no strings attached / A sexual lingo that men understand / Don't make me be a mamma, be a wife, an honourable lady / Bimbo is what bimbo does, let's bimbo tonight," highlights this theme and asserts the singer's agency and independence.
The first verse sets up the dynamic between the singer and her potential partner, who seems hesitant or distant despite the singer's efforts to show affection. The line "giving me loving I know you wanna be cool / but I'm freezing over here" suggests that the singer feels neglected or rejected despite her attempts to connect. The second verse similarly depicts a scenario in which the singer wants to commit to a relationship, but is met with reluctance or resistance from her partner.
Overall, the song presents a refreshing and boundary-breaking perspective on women's experiences in relationships and sexuality. By embracing the label "bimbo" and rejecting the societal pressures to conform to more traditional roles, the singer asserts her own agency and autonomy.
