Kimberly Cole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sh-sh-sh-shut up
Nobody cares what you have to say
Eh, eh
Shut up, (shut up)
Nobody's listening to you anyway eh

You got your eye liner done wrong
Fake nails to long
Fingers all up in my face
Tryna put me in my place but
You think you
Can just say what you wanna
But tonight I'm gonna gonna
Smack you
Right across your lips
Gonna lose your lip stick
'Cause you keep on talking shit
I'm gonna kick you
Right between your hips
'Cause your such a catty bitch
And for me it's such a switch
'Cause I'm usually such a lady

Woah

But tonight I'm gonna smack a bitch
Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch
Tonight I'm gonna smack a bitch
Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch

Speak up, (shut up)
I know it's hard to talk with swollen lips
Eh, eh
Now get up,
Oh wait
Let me take my heels up between your hips
Hey ey ey

You got your eye liner done wrong
Fake nails to long
Fingers all up in my face
Tryna put me in my place but
You think you
Can just say what you wanna
But tonight I'm gonna gonna
Smack you
Right across your lips
Gonna lose your lip stick
'Cause you keep on talking shit
I'm gonna kick you
Right between your hips
'Cause your such a catty bitch
And for me it's such a switch
'Cause I'm usually such a lady

Woah

But tonight I'm gonna smack a bitch
Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch
Tonight I'm gonna smack a bitch
Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch
Tonight I'm gonna smack a bitch

Sticks and stones
May have there plays
But words don't work
And you can't walk away
You brought out a side of me
That I don't like
And then next time
You better think twice, bitch

Woah woah woah

But tonight
I'm gonna smack a bitch

Woah woah waoh

Smack you
Right across your lips
Gonna lose your lip stick
'Cause you keep on talking shit
I'm gonna kick you
Right between your hips
'Cause your such a catty bitch
And for me it's such a switch

Im gonna Smack you
Right across your lips
Gonna lose your lip stick
'Cause you keep on talking shit
I'm gonna kick you (kick you)
Right between your hips
'Cause your such a catty bitch
And for me it's such a switch
'Cause I'm usually such a lady

Woah





But tonight I'm gonna smack a bitch

Just met Kimberly Cole last night at Cherry Pop in West Hollywood, and she was so genuine and so nice, and she KILLED it on stage!!!! I hope she goes really really far!!!!!

Tricia Miranda

I'M KIND OF SHOCKED THAT ANYBODY WOULD COMPARE THIS TO LADY GAGA. THERE ISN'T A THING SIMILAR. KIM'S CLOTHES ARE NORMAL BUT HOT! ALL OF GAGA'S CLOTHES ARE FUTURISTIC. KIM'S VIDEO TAKES PLACE IN THE 80'S SO HER CLOTHES VEER TOWARDS AN OLDER FASHION, JUST REVAMPED TO APPEAL TO TODAY'S FASHION TRENDS. THIS SONG ISN'T WEIRD BY ALL MEANS. BUT IT'S HOT AND FUN! HER CHOREOGRAPHY IS NORMAL. GAGA'S IS HELLA WEIRD. YALL EITHER HAVEN'T FOLLOWED THE INDUSTRY LONG ENOUGH OR YALL JUST HAVE NO VISION.
