Womanizer
Lilly Allen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you, gotta clue, what you're doing?
You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here
But I know what ya are, what ya are, baby
Look at you, gettin' more than just a re-up
Baby, you got all the puppets with their strings up
Fakin' like a good one, but I call 'em like I see 'em
Womanizer, woman-womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer, baby
You-you-you are, you-you-you are
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
You got me going, you're oh so charming
But I can't do it, you womanizer
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
You say I'm crazy, I got your crazy
You're nothing but a womanizer
Daddy-O, you got the swagger of a champion
Too bad for you, you just can't find the right companion
I guess when you have one too many, makes it hard
It could be easy, who ya are, that's just who ya are, baby
Lollipop, must mistake me as the sucker
To think that I would be a victim, not another
Say it, play it how you wanna
But no way I'm ever gonna fall for you, never you, baby
Womanizer, woman-womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer, baby
You-you-you are, you-you-you are
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
You got me going, you're oh so charming
But I can't do it, you womanizer
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
You say I'm crazy, I got your crazy
You're nothing but a womanizer
Maybe if we both lived in a different world
It would be all good and maybe I could be your girl
But I can't 'cause we don't, and you
Womanizer, woman-womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer, baby
You-you-you are, you-you-you are
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
You got me going, you're oh so charming
But I can't do it, you womanizer
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
Boy, don't try to front
I-I know just as what you are, a-are
You say I'm crazy, I got your crazy
You're nothing but a womanizer
The song "Womanizer" by Lily Allen is a commentary on the manipulative behavior of some men, particularly those who are players and seek to control women. The lyrics describe a woman who sees through the facade of a man who is trying to present himself as something he is not. She sees him for the womanizer he is and refuses to fall for his charm.
The song is musically upbeat and catchy, further emphasizing the irony of the situation. Despite the serious message in the lyrics, the listener is invited to dance along to the beat. This could be seen as a representation of how society often glamorizes the behavior of womanizers and overlooks the damage it can cause.
Overall, "Womanizer" is a powerful commentary on the manipulation tactics used by some men and the importance of not falling for these tactics. It encourages women to be confident in their own worth and see through the facade of those who seek to control them.

This sounds like it could have been originally written and preformed by lily. I like it a lot.

What I like the most about this version is that it is so unpretentious. Normally when people make accounts versions of pop songs (or synthpop atleast) they tend to go for that hipster bulshitery, singing with that specific indie singer voice and killing the energy of the song.
This one is still such a pop track, so energetic and does fair the original version (which, lets be hones, is also amazing).
