Got another appointment
Spent all my rent
Girl you know I enjoyed it
Ain't gonna hang around till there's nobody dancing
I don't want to hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright!
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
That's all that I need
Gonna check her out
She's my latest attraction
Gonna hang around
want to get a reaction
Gonna take her home 'cos she's over romancing
Don't want to hold hands and talk about our little plans alright!
Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
And I that was all that I need
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
And I was all that I need
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting give me
At first glance, the lyrics of Jet's song "Cold Hard Bitch" seem to tell a familiar tale of a man who is chasing after a woman who is not interested in anything more than a physical relationship. The lyrics repeatedly use the phrase "cold hard bitch" to describe the woman in question, indicating that she is more concerned with her own pleasure than with forming any kind of emotional connection. The song's protagonist describes how he spent all his rent money on this woman, and how her seductive moves were all he needed to fall for her.
However, there is also an underlying feeling of frustration and disillusionment in the song. The singer seems to be aware that his pursuit of this woman is ultimately unfulfilling and unsatisfying. He expresses a desire to move on, to not "hang around till there's nobody dancing." He resents having to "hold hands and talk about our little plans," suggesting that he sees the relationship as being shallow and lacking in substance.
Overall, "Cold Hard Bitch" can be seen as a commentary on the fleeting and ultimately empty nature of casual sexual encounters. While the song's protagonist initially finds himself drawn to the woman's sexual appeal, he ultimately realizes that there is something deeply unsatisfying about this kind of relationship.
