Rude Boy
Mr Twin Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't really want to catch your first name
I've got all the drinks that I can handle
Stop telling me so much about yourself
What makes you so certain
That I want to be forced to notice you
You're not even aware of what a burden you are
Hey there rude boy, is that all?
How'd you get this way?
All you are is face
You need to be everything if you want anything
I can't seem to understand politeness
I can't seem to argue when you're wrong much longer
You can't seem to get enough attention
You can give someone else your number
What makes you so certain
That I want to be forced to notice you
You're not even aware of what a burden you are
Too vain to even read what I'm thinking
Hey there rude boy, must you go on?
My minds been made
All you are is fake
You need to be everything if you want anything
Hey there rude boy, I've had enough
I don't fall for that
Do you have a heart?
You need to be certain inside if you want anything
In Mr Twin Sister’s song “Rude Boy,” the singer is expressing their disinterest in getting to know the person they are addressing. The first verse states that the singer has no desire to learn the person’s name and is content with the drinks they have. Additionally, the singer is annoyed with the person’s constant self-referencing and oversharing. The chorus is where the song gets its title and the singer calls the person a “rude boy.” The person is being pushy and attention-seeking, and the singer is not interested in playing along. The second verse continues with the singer stating that they have trouble being polite and refraining from arguing with the pushy person. The singer suggests that the person can give their number to someone else because they are not interested. The song ends with the singer questioning the person’s sincerity and asking if they even have a heart or know what they truly want.
Overall, the song is a critique of the “rude boy” persona, which is often associated with Caribbean culture and used to describe men who are confident and assertive. While these characteristics are not inherently negative, the song suggests that when taken too far, they can become obnoxious and overbearing. The singer is frustrated with the person’s lack of awareness and inability to see that they are seeking attention in an inappropriate way. The singer is also challenging the idea that being pushy and demanding will earn someone what they want, and instead encourages the pushy person to be true to themselves and figure out what they really want.
