Can't Take It
Monsta Rock Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Long legs, short skirt
She's got an appetite for money
She'll make it hurt
She comes in a room
You stop and stare
With a devil's smile
She tosses her hair
When she turns and walks away
And she shakes it
When she turns and walks away
I can't take it, oh I can't take it
High heels, mini skirt
She'll grind you up
And she'll make you hurt
Expensive taste, for lots of money
You're out of my league
But I'll tell you something honey
When you turn and walk away
And you shake it
When you turn and walk away
I can't take it
When you turn and walk away
And you shake it
When you turn and walk away
I can't take it
When you turn and walk away
And you shake it
When you turn and walk away
I can't take it
When you turn and walk away
And you shake it
When you turn and walk away
I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't take it




I can't take it
I can't take it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Monsta Rock Band's song "Can't Take It" depict a seductive and alluring woman who has a strong desire for money. The mention of her long legs and short skirt suggests that she uses her physical appearance to captivate and entice others. She has a penchant for extravagance and enjoys indulging in costly things, leading to a sense of pain and anguish for those around her.


The lyrics describe the effect she has on people when she enters a room. The singer's attention is immediately drawn to her, and he finds himself unable to look away. Her devilish smile and the way she confidently tosses her hair serve to intensify her allure. However, it seems that her charms are both enticing and tormenting, as the repetition of the phrase "she'll make it hurt" suggests that she has a manipulative nature that causes emotional pain.


Despite acknowledging that this woman is out of his league, the singer still harbors feelings for her. He refers to her as "honey," indicating a level of affection or admiration. However, his feelings are overshadowed by the realization that she will always remain beyond his reach. The repeated line "you're out of my league, but I'll tell you something honey" implies a recognition of his own limitations, but also a determination to express his desires and emotions for her.


The chorus, which repeats the phrase "When you turn and walk away, and you shake it, I can't take it," conveys the singer's frustration and inability to cope with the woman's presence. Her departure, accompanied by her provocative movements, leaves him feeling overwhelmed and unable to bear the emotions that she stirs within him. The repetition of the line further emphasizes his inability to resist her allure and the pain it causes him.


Overall, "Can't Take It" delves into the complexities of desire and the power that certain individuals possess to captivate and emotionally affect others. It explores the fine line between attraction and torment, highlighting the torment experienced by the singer as he finds himself unable to resist the seductive charms of this woman, despite knowing that he can never truly possess her.

The fact that this is meant to be a serious Kid Rock song and video, and not a parody of a Kid Rock video is absolute comedy gold. 😂😂😂😂

@jessl1934

Based on the lyrics I can only assume that Kid Rock pays his taxes because he likes donating money to Big Government, not because the IRS told him to do it.
