Dirt Cheap
Lime Cordiale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drive down the wrong street on the right day
I don't have cold feet but it's hard to read you, babe
Are we turning left and are we feeling right?
Can we take the next step too many red lights?

Was it too rude to just allude?
Picture us nude on Sunday afternoons
Was it too rude to just allude?
Scrabble in my room

Oh, I love you whole
You're like gold to me
My love is dirt cheap
And you have me sold
I love you whole
You're like gold to me
My love is dirt cheap
And you have me sold
I love you whole
You're like gold to me
My love is dirt cheap
And you have me sold
I love you whole
You're like gold to me
My love is dirt cheap
And you have me sold

With you I feel the difference when you are away
You wanna roll a spliff but it's the middle of the day
And is there a time limit on how long I get to keep ya?
Oh I know I'm a beast but you're the perfect creature

Was it too rude to just allude?
Picture us nude on Sunday afternoons
Is it too rude? Just picture us nude
Happy with a view, ha ha ow!

Oh, I love you whole
You're like gold to me
My love is dirt cheap
And you have me sold
I love you whole
You're like gold to me
My love is dirt cheap
And you have me sold
I love you whole
You're like gold to me
My love is dirt cheap
And you have me sold
I love you whole
You're like gold to me
My love is dirt cheap
And you have me sold

My love's dirt cheap
My love's dirt cheap
My love, my love
My love's dirt cheap
My love's dirt cheap
My love's dirt cheap
My love, my love
My love's dirt cheap

My love's dirt cheap (the cheaper the love)
My love's dirt cheap
My love, my love (the sweeter the love)
My love's dirt cheap
My love's dirt cheap (the cheaper the love)
My love's dirt cheap
My love, my love (the sweeter the love)
My love's dirt cheap

My love's dirt cheap (oh, I love you whole) (the cheaper the love)
My love's dirt cheap (you're like gold to me)
My love, my love (the sweeter the love)
My love's dirt cheap
My love's dirt cheap (oh, I love you whole) (the cheaper the love)
My love's dirt cheap (you're like gold to me)




My love, my love (the sweeter the love)
My love's dirt

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lime Cordiale's "Dirt Cheap" explore the complexity of a romantic relationship. The first verse speaks to the confusion and uncertainty that can come with a new relationship - "Drive down the wrong street on the right day, I don't have cold feet but it's hard to read you, babe." The uncertainty continues in the following line as the singer questions whether they are turning left or feeling right. These lines suggest that the singer is unsure about the direction of the relationship and whether they should take the next step despite the obstacles in their way.


The second verse delves into the feeling of missing someone and wanting to be with them regardless of the time of day or societal norms - "You wanna roll a spliff but it's the middle of the day, And is there a time limit on how long I get to keep ya?" The singer admits that they can be difficult but sees their partner as the "perfect creature."


The chorus repeatedly declares the singer's love for their partner and compares it to something inexpensive - "My love is dirt cheap, And you have me sold." This line suggests that the love is easy to come by and perhaps undervalued, but the singer is still deeply committed to their partner.


Overall, "Dirt Cheap" is a song that explores the complex and often confusing nature of love and relationships, while also celebrating the enduring commitment that can come with them.

At first I didn't feel it. But this song eventually grew on me, and now it's a warm, cozy tune I like to go back to remember the good times I had back when this song was released.
