I Am a Girlfriend
Nobunny Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been watching there's no stopping
I think it's time that we started talking
But talking's cheap and I am too
And I'm gonna be, wanna talk to you

You look sad girl
and you a bad girl
Oh please don't make me mad girl

Just come on over
off my mind
And do bad things with you all night because

I am a girlfriend
I am a girlfriend
I am a girlfriend

And you are my little pet
I wrap a chain around your neck
And hold you down and make you sweat
And teach you how to bend the whip

But don't speak girl
not a peep girl
Oh don't you look so sweet girl
It puts the lotion on it's skin
Or else it gets the hose again because

I am a girlfriend

I am a girlfriend
I am a girlfriend

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nobunny's song "I Am a Girlfriend" can be interpreted in a few different ways, but there seems to be a strong theme of dominance and submission. The singer is expressing a desire to have control over their partner (referred to as a "little pet"), using a strong metaphor of a chain and a whip to illustrate their dominance. However, there's also a sense of affection and intimacy in the language used - the singer refers to themselves as a "girlfriend" and says they want to do "bad things with you all night."

Another interpretation could be that the song is a critique of toxic relationships, particularly ones where one partner seeks to control and manipulate the other. The line "It puts the lotion on its skin / Or else it gets the hose again" is a direct reference to the movie "Silence of the Lambs," where a serial killer keeps a woman trapped in a well and threatens to harm her if she doesn't comply with his demands. By referencing this scene, Nobunny could be suggesting that the singer's desire for control is unhealthy and dangerous.

Overall, the lyrics to "I Am a Girlfriend" are provocative and unsettling, but also open to multiple interpretations. The combination of violent imagery and romantic language creates a complex and somewhat disturbing picture of a relationship that may not be entirely healthy.
