Jessica Jacobs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sorry my sewing isn't like your mothers.
I'll call her up.
I'm sorry I dress kinda boyish.
I'm sorry my hair isn't long like
the girls in your magazines.
I'll grow it out.
I know I can't run the world
'cause I can't even decide what
to make for dinner.
I know that you are stronger than me
because you are man.
Thank god you are a man.
(I'm sorry)
I'm sorry your world is a mess.
Don't worry, I'll pour you a beer
so that it doesn't fizz up.
You'll be so proud.
I'm sorry you dropped the glass on the floor.
I'll sweep it up before you can say 'clean it up
you stupid bitch.'
You taught me well.
I know I can't run the world
'cause I can't even decide what
to make for dinner.
I know that you are stronger than me
because you are man.
I know I can't run the world
'cause you tell me I suck and
you're such a winner.
I know that you are stronger than me
because you are a man.
(I'm sorry, I'm sorry)
I'm sorry I'm not good with makeup.
I'm sorry I don't wear any sexy lingerie.
I'll lose some weight.
I know I can't run the world
'cause I can't even decide what
to make for dinner.
I know that you are stronger than me
because you are a man.
I know I can't run the world
'cause you tell me I suck and
you're such a winner.
I know that you are stronger than me
because you are a man.
Thank god you are a man.
I'm sorry.
What would i do without a man?
The lyrics of Jessica Jacobs's song "I'm sorry" depict a woman who is apologizing for not living up to society's gender norms and for not being the stereotypical perfect wife. The singer expresses sorrow over not being a great cook, not being skilled at sewing like her partner's mother, not dressing in a typically feminine manner or having long hair, and not being good at makeup or wearing sexy lingerie. She also apologizes for her weight and for her inability to run the world since she is a woman.
The song is a commentary on gender roles and expectations that are placed on women in a patriarchal society. The woman in the song is made to feel inferior and inadequate for not fulfilling those expectations. It also depicts the way society teaches women to apologize for things that are outside of their control, and how they should put their partners' needs before their own, no matter how it affects them.
In the end, the song's speaker thanks her partner for being stronger than her because he is a man, and she cannot run the world or be as good as he is. It shows how women are conditioned to believe that men are superior, and they should be grateful for having them in their lives.
