KESHA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was cold outside
The whiskey rocks
How you caught my eye
My red lips painted
Dressed up in black
I needed something
To bring me back
And we danced all night
But something wasn't right
So I'll see you next Tuesday
If I ever get desperate
Or I'm so beyond faded
Just, I'll see you next Tuesday
Kinda nice out this morning
I won't sit around waiting
And I'm not just being cold
I'm just watching you pretend
Like your heart is on your sleeve
When I know you have a girlfriend
Oh, I'll see you next Tuesday
Oh oh, oh oh, oh,
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
You don't call and you won't admit (won't admit)
The lies you spin for your power trip
And I just can't take you seriously
When all you send is a text to me
So I'll be gone when the morning comes
Let's not pretend it's love
So I'll see you next Tuesday
If I ever get desperate
Or I'm so beyond faded
Just, I'll see you next Tuesday
Kinda nice out this morning
I won't sit around waiting
And I'm not just being cold
I'm just watching you pretend
Like your heart is on your sleeve
When I know you have a girlfriend
I know you have a girlfriend
I'll see you next Tuesday
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I don't want anything from this
I got your number, don't call me
I'll call you if I need a hit
I don't need no drama from this
I know you got your girl
And I don't need to do it on my ship
So I'll see you next Tuesday (I'll see you next Tuesday)
I'll see you next Tuesday (I'll see you next Tuesday)
So I'll see you next Tuesday
If I ever get desperate
Or I'm so beyond faded
Just, I'll see you next Tuesday
Kinda nice out this morning
I won't sit around waiting
And I'm not just being cold
I'm just watching you pretend
Like your heart is on your sleeve
When I know you have a girlfriend (I know you have a girlfriend)
I'll see you next Tuesday
So I'll see you next Tuesday
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh (Tuesday)
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh (Tuesday)
So I'll see you next Tuesday (I'll see you next Tuesday)
So I'll see you next Tuesday (Tuesday)
See you next Tuesday (oh, oh, oh oh)
So I'll see you next Tuesday
The lyrics to Kesha's song "C" revolve around a classic tale of infidelity and the illusion of love. She begins by describing a scene where she is lost, and it is cold outside, indicating she is in a vulnerable state when she meets her lover. The whiskey rocks and her red lips painted suggest that she is using external stimuli to feel something amidst her confusion. However, there is already an indication that something is off, as something wasn't right even when they danced all night.
The chorus reveals the intended meaning behind the song's title as Kesha sings, "So I'll see you next Tuesday," which is a euphemism for "see you next time" but can also be an acronym for a derogatory phrase. She sings about not waiting around for someone who is pretending like their "heart is on their sleeve" when she knows they have a girlfriend. Essentially, she is saying that she knows their love is untruthful and that she doesn't want anything from it. She got their number, but she doesn't want them to call her, and she will only contact them when she needs a "hit" of something. The song's message is one of empowerment and letting go of toxic relationships that only bring drama.
Line by Line Meaning
I was looking lost
I was feeling directionless and uncertain
It was cold outside
The weather was chilly and unwelcoming
The whiskey rocks
Alcohol helped me relax and let go of my troubles
How you caught my eye
I noticed you and was intrigued by you
My red lips painted
I had put on makeup to look attractive
Dressed up in black
I wore dark clothing to make a statement or evoke a certain mood
I needed something to bring me back
I was searching for a way to feel better or more alive
You knew the play and we danced all night
You understood my desires and we had fun together
But something wasn't right
Despite the enjoyable night, there was an underlying feeling of dissatisfaction or unease
So I'll see you next Tuesday
I will only see you again if I have no other options
If I ever get desperate or I'm so beyond faded, just, I'll see you next Tuesday
If I am in a bad place or heavily influenced by drugs or alcohol, I may choose to see you again
Kinda nice out this morning, I won't sit around waiting
It's a pleasant morning but I won't waste my time waiting for you
And I'm not just being cold, I'm just watching you pretend
I am not being unfriendly, I am simply aware that you are not being genuine with me
Like your heart is on your sleeve, when I know you have a girlfriend
You act as though you want to be with me when I know you are already in a relationship
You don't call and you won't admit (won't admit), the lies you spin for your power trip
You do not keep in touch with me and you refuse to acknowledge the dishonesty you use to maintain control
And I just can't take you seriously, when all you send is a text to me
I don't view your behavior as genuine or sincere, especially when all you do is communicate through impersonal texts
So I'll be gone when the morning comes, let's not pretend it's love
I want to leave before things get too complicated and I know that our relationship is not based on genuine love
I don't want anything from this, I got your number, don't call me
I am not seeking anything from our relationship and I don't want you to try to reach me anymore
I'll call you if I need a hit, I don't need no drama from this
I will only contact you if I need something from you, otherwise I don't want any complications or conflicts
I know you got your girl, and I don't need to do it on my ship
I am aware that you are in a relationship and I don't want to cause any trouble for myself
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
