Spit
Love Hate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Til we pass out on the floor
Met a little girl with no bloomers on
When she showed me her fake I.D. I knew something was wrong
She said let's dance
Said I got a wooden leg
She's cuddly wuddly wuddly too
She's cuddly wuddly wuddly got a hold on you
Yeah you got a reputation for coming on strong
Now you're leanin' up against my dang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang
Here we go to your bungalow
Boyfriend's on the road
Put the spit on
Put the spit on
Get a little nervous
What can a poor boy say
'Bout a girl that fucks a different guy each and every day
But she's cuddly wuddly wuddly
Too bad
You don't dig dudes that play guitar
You got a thing for drummers
You got a thing for men with scars
Put the spit on
Put the spit on
Put the spit on
Throbbing pulsating gyrating hyperventilating 'til we pass out
On the floor
Put the spit on
Put the spit on
Put the spit on
Put the spit on
Put the spit on
Put the spit on
The Love Hate song "Spit" is a provocative and sexually charged rock song that delves into the lustful and hedonistic experiences of the singer. The opening lines of "throbbing pulsating gyrating hyperventilating 'til we pass out on the floor" alludes to the intense and passionate physical interactions the singer has with their partner. The second verse details a sexual encounter with a girl who has no inhibitions, who seduces the singer with her body and fake ID. The lyrics reference her as "cuddly wuddly wuddly too" and having a "hold on you", depicting the intensity of the attraction between the two.
Further in the song, the singer becomes nervous and insecure about his own abilities and reputation when confronted with the girl's experience, yet remains drawn to her. This is reflected in the lines, "Get a little nervous, what can a poor boy say 'bout a girl that fucks a different guy each and every day... Too bad you don't dig dudes that play guitar, you got a thing for drummers, you got a thing for men with scars". The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, "Put the spit on", which can be interpreted as a reference to the friction between two bodies during sex.
