Ugly
Jordan Sass Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some dogs got big eyes
And some got dirty hair
And some dogs are the type
Your Mama said, "Don't care"

Dirty is my style
And I like my oil crude
You are the ugliest thing I've ever seen

And I think I love you

Far be it from you
To tell me what to do
Who I choose to rock my world?
Ain't up for view

Nothin' left is sacred
So I've changed my point of view
You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen
And I think I love you

Monkey see and monkey say
Who tell monkey the way?
Monkey will if monkey may

Come on

Monkey see and monkey say
Who tell monkey the way?
Monkey will if monkey may

Well I don't mind if you don't keep
You're nose too clean
I just want to know
If you're hidin' somethin' I ain't never seen

'Cause nothin' left is sacred
And I've seen my point of view
You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen
And I think I love you

Oh, ugly

Ugly, oh baby
She is ugly sucker

Overall Meaning

The song “Ugly” by Jordan Sass is a rebellious anthem that celebrates individuality and defies conventional societal norms. The first verse introduces the theme of the song, highlighting that different dogs have different traits but that doesn't make them any less loveable. Jordan Sass shows that it's not about looks or appearances, instead, it's about finding beauty in the unconventional, dirty, and raw aspects of life. Sass then boasts about her own unconventional style which is not restricted by societal pressures or standards of beauty. In the chorus, she sings that the person she loves is the ugliest thing she has ever seen but she still loves them because she has changed her point of view that nothing left is sacred.

Sass then reinforces the idea of individuality and personal choice in the second verse. She criticizes the expectation of others to comply with mainstream thinking and to follow established rules, stating that who she chooses to rock her world is not up for view. She goes on to say that she has changed her mindset and now finds value in the ugly and unconventional, highlighting that the person she loves doesn’t adhere to traditional standards of beauty. The bridge of the song refers to the concept of the “monkey see, monkey do” behaviour and highlights that one can choose to break free from the norm and think for themselves.
