Marina and the diamonds. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a figure like a pin-up, got a figure like a doll
Don't care if you think I'm dumb, I don't care at all
Candy bear, sweetie pie, wanna be adored
I'm the girl you'd die for

I'll chew you up and I'll spit you out
'Cause that's what young love is all about
So pull me closer and kiss me hard
I'm gonna pop your bubblegum heart

I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch

Queentex, latex, I'm your wonder maid
Life gave me some lemons so I made some lemonade
Soda pop, soda pop, baby, here I come
Straight to number one

Oh, dear diary, I met a boy
He made my doll heart light up with joy
Oh, dear diary, we fell apart
Welcome to the life of Electra Heart

I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch

I think I want your, your American tan
Oh, oh, oh
I think you're gonna be my biggest fan
Oh, oh, oh

I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips




I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marina and the Diamonds' Bubblegum Bitch are a bold assertion of the singer's power and control within a romantic relationship. After being introduced as a pin-up doll with no concern for others' opinions of her, the singer declares herself a "bubblegum bitch," a lighthearted but ultimately manipulative figure who will "chew you up and spit you out." She revels in her own sweet persona, comparing herself to candy and soda pop, but is always in control, demanding that her lover "pull me closer and kiss me hard."


The song is ultimately a commentary on femininity and power dynamics within relationships. While the singer presents herself as a sugary-sweet object of desire, she is also clear that she is not to be toyed with or underestimated. She turns the traditional gender roles of the pin-up and the lover on their heads, asserting her own dominance and control in the relationship.
