Put Me In The Trash
Jagger Mick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah you gave me up for lost
Now I see that you're doing alright
Take a look at me and count the cost
Baby can't you see I'm short on greens
I am your long lost man, you don't recognize me
I used to load you up with cash
All the fancy food, you always wolfed it down
Yeah but you never made a scene
Baby can't you see, I'm no fantasy
I am your long lost man, you don't recognize me
Standing around in the rain, with my hands froze
Looking around for small change in your window
Out in the cold once again, write out a cheque for old flames
Pity for old time sake, I'll make your heart glow
Yeah, I'm your long lost man, don't you recognize me
Gimme some money baby, I'm broke
Why don't you, why don't you dig right down in your purse
And gimme some dough
Yeah don't you remember me baby
Don't you remember all those Jean Paul Gaultier dresses
I bought you and all those tickets to the opera
What about that bright red ferrari I bought you now
And all those, and all those shoes
Yeah I know it's the recession baby, but give me some money
Yeah come on now be generous
Oh yeah alright
In the song "Put Me In The Trash," Mick Jagger sings about a man who has fallen on hard times and is asking an ex-lover for some financial help. The man has clearly seen better days and is no longer the handsome and well-dressed partner that he once was. He talks about how he used to shower her with expensive gifts, including cash, clothes, and fancy food, but now he is left with nothing, as she has thrown him away like trash. He pleads with her to recognize him and give him some money, offering to reignite their old flame as an incentive.

Yeah you put me in the trash
You discarded me and treated me like garbage
Yeah you gave me up for lost
You abandoned me and assumed I was beyond help
Now I see that you're doing alright
I acknowledge that you are doing well now
Take a look at me and count the cost
Look at the state I am in now and consider what you lost
Baby can't you see I'm short on greens
I am in need of money, can't you see?
I am your long lost man, you don't recognize me
I used to be the man you relied on, but now you don't even know me
I used to load you up with cash
I used to give you a lot of money
I used to dress you like a dream
I used to buy you expensive and fashionable clothing
All the fancy food, you always wolfed it down
You used to enjoy and eat all the luxurious food I provided
Yeah but you never made a scene
You never complained or caused a scene
Baby can't you see, I'm no fantasy
I am real, not just a figment of your imagination
Standing around in the rain, with my hands froze
I am standing in the rain, cold and uncomfortable
Looking around for small change in your window
I am searching for spare change outside your window
Out in the cold once again, write out a cheque for old flames
I am alone and destitute again, but willing to rekindle old relationships if you pay me
Pity for old time sake, I'll make your heart glow
I will try to evoke sympathy from you for old times' sake, in hopes of rekindling our connection
Gimme some money baby, I'm broke
Give me some money, as I am financially bankrupt
Why don't you, why don't you dig right down in your purse

Don't you recall what I used to do for you?
Don't you remember all those Jean Paul Gaultier dresses
Do you recall the expensive dresses I bought for you from the designer Jean Paul Gaultier?

I also bought you tickets to the opera
What about that bright red ferrari I bought you now
Do you remember the flashy red Ferrari car that I gifted you?
And all those, and all those shoes
Also, do you remember the numerous shoes I bought you?
Yeah I know it's the recession baby, but give me some money
I understand that the economy is facing a downturn, but I still need money from you
Yeah come on now be generous
Please be kind and give me some money
Oh yeah alright
