Some Kinda Nerve
Melissa Ferrick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming back here for more
Like i'm just going drop everything i'm doing
So you can humiliate me a little more
You've got some kind of nerve
You got some kind of ego
Yeah for looking at me like that
Like what am I supposed to do now, just forgive you?
But baby i'm done
I'm done with you
Yeah baby i'm done
I'm finally done with you
So if you think that you might have made some sort of mistake
In leaving me
Well guess what
You're too late
You got some kind of mouth
For talking to me like that
Bragging about your Hollywood friends
Like that's going make me want you again
Makes me think you know that you never even knew me
Makes me understand
That the whole time it was you
Just using me
But baby i'm done
I'm done with you
Yeah baby i'm done
I'm finally done with you
So if you think that you might have made some sort of mistake
In leaving me
Well guess what
You're too late
I'm done with you
Yeah baby i'm done
I'm finally done with you
So if you think that you might have made some sort of mistake
In leaving me
Well guess what
Too late
Your too late
Your too late
Your too late
Melissa Ferrick's song "Some Kinda Nerve" speaks to individuals who have been mistreated by someone they once cared for, and how it can be difficult to find closure and move on. With lyrics like "You've got some kind of nerve, coming back here for more, like I'm just going to drop everything I'm doing, so you can humiliate me a little more," listeners can feel the emotions of frustration and disappointment that come with someone re-entering a past relationship without a real desire to make things right.
The artist then expresses her confidence in moving on from the situation, stating "But baby I'm done, I'm finally done with you, so if you think that you might have made some mistake in leaving me, well guess what? You're too late." Ferrick sings about how the person in question had a big ego and talked down to her, but ultimately she realizes it was all just manipulation and using her for their own purposes.
Overall, "Some Kinda Nerve" is a powerful anthem for those who have been through a similar situation, and can serve as a source of strength and motivation to move on and find happiness in other aspects of life.

You've got some kind of nerve
You have an audacity that disagrees my peace of mind
Coming back here for more
Reappearing in my life after causing enough damage
Like i'm just going drop everything i'm doing
Expecting me to prioritize your existence over everything else
So you can humiliate me a little more
So you can belittle and insult me once again
You got some kind of ego
You have quite an inflated sense of self
Yeah for looking at me like that
Gazing upon me with conceited eyes
Like your eyes are going to make me crawl back to you
Thinking that your glances are going to invoke crave in me for your presence
Like what am I supposed to do now, just forgive you?
Expecting me to forget everything and pardon you readily
But baby i'm done
I have made the decision to leave you behind
I'm finally done with you
I have concluded that I don't belong in your life
So if you think that you might have made some sort of mistake
Holding onto the notion that I might still have feelings for you
In leaving me
After breaking up with me and abandoning the relationship
Well guess what
Let me inform you that
You're too late
Your only choice is too late because you missed the opportunity
You got some kind of mouth
You possess the habit of speaking insolently
For talking to me like that
For speaking to me in that tone of voice
Bragging about your Hollywood friends
Showing off about your acquaintances in the entertainment industry
Like that's going make me want you again
As if this is going to entice me to have feelings for you once more
Makes me think you know that you never even knew me
Leads me to believe that you never truly understood who I am
Makes me understand
Opens my eyes to the truth that
That the whole time it was you
All along, it was your doing
Just using me
Only manipulating me for your own benefit
Too late
You missed the opportunity
Your too late
You missed the opportunity and must face the consequences
Your too late
It is too late, and you cannot change my mind
Your too late
You missed your chance, and I am done with you
