Don't Trust Me
Mike Posner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black dress with the tights underneath,
[Kid Cudi]
I've been feeling some type of way about her
Wanna wife her
Borderline I don't really like her
Cause she like to play around and she know she got it
A bad bitch who know she a bad bitch
Worst type in the world if you ask me
Worst thing in the world is emotions
So I'm sitting here trying to go through the motion
Get along but it would be better if we boned
You don't understand, I don't need you honey
I beat my dick like I don't need money
She get around probably fuck yo homie
She text me then she probably gonna text drake
Cause it be the ones man, with the pretty face
I guess it be the moon man who cracked the case
[3OH! 3]
She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
Won't trust me.
She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
Won't trust me.
[Mike Posner]
She's a freshman, with a cup in her hand
She tries her best to pretend she doesn't know who I am
Her and her bestfriend, I seen em pull up they skirts
They got a wagger to see who can hook up with me first
The threesome, like you aint done it before
Oh you're a good girl, from high in his port
Well tell your boyfriend, if he even exists
He shouldn't trust you, because I'm stealing his bitch
[Kid Cudi]
Hey hater, sign language
Middle finger, middle finger
Let me tell you now
Intergalactical
I see them rockin the pole
I see them 3 0 4
The song "Don't Trust Me" by Mike Posner featuring 3OH!3 and Kid Cudi is a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of relationships with promiscuous women. The lyrics describe a woman who is sexually alluring but unreliable, and the various men who are drawn into her web. The opening lines set the stage, describing a woman in a black dress with tights underneath, suggesting she is both alluring and mysterious. Kid Cudi's verse conveys his conflicted feelings about the woman, acknowledging her appeal but also his mistrust and ambivalence. He describes her as a "bad bitch" who plays games and enjoys attention from multiple men, making her a poor choice for a serious relationship. Mike Posner's verse is more explicit, describing a younger woman who is eager to hook up with him despite being in a relationship with another man. He mocks her naïveté, suggesting that her boyfriend should not trust her because she is unfaithful and will cheat on him.
Overall, "Don't Trust Me" is a song that highlights the dangers of sexual desire and the temptation of "bad girls" who may be fun in the moment but ultimately unreliable and untrustworthy. It is a warning to young men to be cautious when pursuing women who are more interested in their own pleasure than in building a meaningful relationship.
