Bitch
McQueen Lyrics

I'm up on the eleventh floor
The singer is high up and removed from the situation

And I'm watching the cruisers below
The singer is observing the scene and the people involved

He's down on the street
The male character involved in the situation is below and down on the street

And he's trying hard
He is making an effort to do something

To pull sister Flo
He is trying to woo someone named Sister Flo

My heart's in the basement
The singer is feeling down about the situation

My weekend's at an all time low
The singer's mood is really low; the worst it's ever been

Because she's hoping to score
Sister Flo is looking to get something out of the male character

So I can't see her
The artist can't see Sister Flo giving up on this male character

Letting him go
Sister Flo would be giving up on him if she stopped trying to get what she wanted

Walk out of her heart
The male character would then leave her heart or stop being a part of her life

Walk out of her mind
He would also leave her mind or thoughts

She's so swishy in her satin and tat
Sister Flo is fashionable and confident despite her situation

In her frock coat
She is wearing a stylish coat

And bipperty-bopperty hat
She has an upbeat, lively hat on

Oh God, I could do better than that
The artist does not think highly of Sister Flo's style

She's an old-time ambassador
Sister Flo is a skilled and experienced socialite

Of sweet talking, night walking games
Sister Flo is good at socializing, mingling, and flirting with others

And she's known in the darkest clubs
She is familiar with disreputable places and people

For pushing ahead of the dames
She is assertive and goes after what she wants, even if it means cutting in line

If she says she can do it
Sister Flo is confident and capable of accomplishing what she sets her mind to

Then she can do it
She follows through on her promises and claims

She don't make false claims
She doesn't lie or make promises she can't fulfill

But she's a Queen
Sister Flo is in control of the situation and powerful in her own way

And such are queens
Queens have a certain reputation and status in society in which they command respect and admiration

That your laughter
Even if the singer doesn't take Sister Flo seriously and finds her amusing or laughable

Is sucked in their brains
Her charisma and charm are infectious, and those around her ultimately fall under her spell

Now she's leading him on
Sister Flo is toying with the male character

And she'll lay him right down
She will ultimately get what she wants, which means the male character will be the one who loses out

But it could have been me
The singer realizes that he could have been in the male character's position if he didn't back away from Sister Flo

Yes, it could have been me
The singer could have been the one who got played by Sister Flo

Why didn't I say
The artist wishes he had said something or acted differently

Why didn't I say, no, no, no
He should have said no to Sister Flo or avoided her altogether

So I lay down a while
The artist is tired and needs to rest

And I gaze at my hotel wall
The singer is stuck in his hotel, possibly feeling trapped or isolated

Oh the cot is so cold
The bed is not comfortable or inviting

It don't feel like no bed at all
The bed is so uncomfortable that it feels like nothing at all

Yeah I lay down a while
The singer needs some downtime to reflect and assess his situation

And I look at my hotel wall
The singer has nothing else to do and is bored

But he's down on the street
The male character is still in the same situation that the artist left

So I throw both his bags down the hall
The artist is angry and takes that anger out on the male character's belongings

And I'm phoning a cab
The singer is leaving the hotel and the situation behind

Because my stomach feels small
The singer feels sick or anxious about what has transpired

There's a taste in my mouth
The artist feels something unpleasant in his mouth

And it's no taste at all
The artist can't quite describe what he's feeling

It could have been me
The artist is still dwelling on the fact that he could have been in the male character's position

Oh yeah, it could have been me
He knows that this could have happened to him if he wasn't careful

Why didn't I say
The artist is still wondering why he didn't speak up or take action

Why didn't I say, no, no, no
He should have said no to Sister Flo or avoided her altogether

She's so swishy in her satin and tat
The song circles back to the idea that Sister Flo is fashionable and stylish, which is something the singer doesn't like
