Take It and Run
Joe Jonas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who wears her clothes to tight
Goes to all the parties
She's the queen of the night
She wears way too much eyeliner
And red heels, sky high
She's the kind of girl
Crush all your dreams, yeah
[Chorus]
Take take take it and run
You'll be crying when she's done
Take take take it and run
Then she's on her way
Another guy, another day
She's the kind of girl
Who's got a bad reputation
Half of it's true,
Half of it's misinformation
Something 'bout her is so damn attractive
I know she's poison
But I can't stop the reaction
[Chorus]
They warn me she's out of control
She'll grab your heart
And she'll never take it slow
She'll kiss your lips in the parking lot
You'll want to stop, but you can't stop
And it's getting hot, getting way too hot
And before you know it,
You've done something stupid
That you'll regret later on
And then she'll leave
With that red lipstick
and her cigarettes
And she thinks she's so cool
[Chorus: x2]
Take take it and run
[Repeat: x4]
Yeah
In Joe Jonas's song Take It & Run, he sings about a girl who is notorious for her wild and reckless behavior. She wears tight clothes, too much makeup, and high heels. She goes to all the parties and is known as the queen of the night. She's also the type of girl who will tear your heart into pieces and crush your dreams. Despite all this, Joe can't help but be attracted to her, even though he knows she's poison.
In the chorus, Joe encourages others to take what they can get from her and then run away because they will end up crying when she's done. He knows that she's not someone you should get involved with for too long because she's always looking for the next guy or the next party.
Throughout the song, Joe warns others about her, but he also acknowledges that something about her is so attractive that he can't resist her. He sings about the danger of getting too close to her and the regret that comes afterward. At the end of the song, she leaves with her red lipstick and cigarettes, thinking she's so cool.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about getting involved with someone who is known to be trouble. Despite the warning signs, sometimes we can't help but be attracted to danger.
