Laura Bell Bundy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're all I want today
I just wonder can you make me feel that way
Tell me boy
[Chorus]
If I get all over you, can I get over him?
I've been feelin' so blue, give me back my faith in men
You gettin' the picture baby? (Yeah, I get it girl)
I'm not asking you for love or to commit
So, if you like it, you don't have to put a ring on it (Beyonce, uh-oh)
I don't want to behave
I'm just looking for a man who wants to play
What do you say?
[Chorus]
I've always followed my heart
But now I think I need a fresh start
I've seen you mopin' around
It might do you some good if you had rebound
If I get all over you, can ya get over her?
You've been feelin' so blue, but I can make it better for sure
Make it better, make
If I get all over you, can we get over them?
We've got nothin' to prove, but if we like it, we can do it again
Pick me up and lay me down, won't you be my rebound
In Laura Bell Bundy's song "Rebound," the lyrics are about being heartbroken and seeking a rebound relationship. The singer is feeling sorry for herself since the love is gone and wonders if her potential lover can make her feel the same way her recent ex-lover did. The chorus is a plea to the potential lover to help her get over her ex and give her back faith in men. There is no commitment needed, and it is solely about having fun and playing around. The singer wants to be picked up and laid down and needs a fresh start after following her heart for so long. The lyrics are straightforward, and there is no denying that the singer's intention is solely to find someone to help her move on from her previous relationship.
One can interpret the lyrics as commitment-phobic or fear of being hurt again. The singer wants to feel the same exhilaration she felt with her previous lover and does not want to jump into a new relationship with commitment. She is seeking a pure physical relationship that brings her joy and happiness without the emotional baggage of commitment.
