The song was also planned to be Haylie Duff's first single from her upcoming album Masquerade. Hilton and Duff entered into legal battles for music in 2005. Unfortunately for Duff, Hilton got the song.
Hilton re-recorded the song in 2006. The song that appears on her album is different from the version that leaked on the internet in 2004, with more rock influence of the 80s.
Screwed
Paris Hilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please don't let it begin
You're under my skin
Same old story
Boys meets girl and she falls much harder than him
Baby, where's the glory
Please don't let it being
You're under my skin
It's a sin cause you're starting to win
Since I'm already screwed
Here's a message to you
My heart's wide open
I'm just not getting through to the lover in you
Yet I'm still hoping
That tonight, tonight, you're gonna turn down the lights
And give me a little more room just to prove it to you
What do I gotta do?
Just push her aside
She's not your type
So cliché when a boy falls under the spell
Of a woman from hell
It's hard to take cause
Tonight, tonight, you could have found out I might
Have been the girl of your dreams
Baby, you might have seen what it means just to really be free
Since I'm already screwed
Here's a message to you
My heart's wide open
I'm just not getting through to the lover in you
Yet I'm still hoping
That tonight, tonight, you're gonna turn down the lights
And give me a little more room just to prove it to you
What do I gotta do?
Tell me that you do
Tell me that you do
Tell me that you wanna take my number
There will come a day
An easy day in May or a storm in mid December
When you need someone just to have a little fun
I could be the perfect girl for you
When you need someone just to have a little fun
I could be the perfect girl for you to love
Since I'm already screwed
Here's a message to you
My heart's wide open
I'm just not getting through to the lover in you
Yet I'm still hoping
That tonight, tonight, you're gonna turn down the lights
And give me a little more room just to prove it to you
What do I gotta do?
Since I'm already screwed
Here's a message to you
My heart's wide open
I'm just not getting through to the lover in you
Yet I'm still hoping
That tonight, tonight, you're gonna turn down the lights
And give me a little more room just to prove it to you
What do I gotta do?
The lyrics of "Screwed" by Paris Hilton tell the story of a girl who is in love with a guy who is not reciprocating her feelings. She is frustrated that she is not getting his attention and feels like she is losing the battle to win his heart. The song begins with the girl admitting that she is "screwed" and pleading with the guy not to start something that she knows will not end well. The girl acknowledges that she has fallen harder for the guy than he has for her and wonders where the glory is in that.
The chorus expresses the girl's desire to be with the guy and how she is hoping that he will notice her. She is already in love with him and cannot help the way she feels. She is trying to prove to the guy that she would be the perfect girl for him, but he is not giving her the chance she deserves. The girl feels like she is not even getting through to the guy as he continues to ignore her.
The bridge focuses on the girl's hope that the guy will eventually realize that she is the one he has been looking for. She paints a picture of a time in the future when he will need someone to have a little fun with and she will be there for him. In spite of her frustration, the girl is still hopeful that she will win the guy's heart in the end.

I'm screwed
I am in a bad situation
Please don't let it begin
I am hoping this situation does not get worse
You're under my skin
You are captivating me
Same old story
This is a common experience for me
Boys meets girl and she falls much harder than him
I tend to fall in love more easily than my partner
Baby, where's the glory
I am questioning the value of this relationship
If all night, all night, you're attention's not mine
I need your full attention
It's a sin cause you're starting to win
I am losing control of this situation
Here's a message to you
I have something important to say to you
My heart's wide open
I am vulnerable and open to love
I'm just not getting through to the lover in you
You are not reciprocating my feelings
Yet I'm still hoping
I still have hope for this relationship
And give me a little more room just to prove it to you
I need a chance to show you how I feel
What do I gotta do?
What do I need to do to make this work?
Just push her aside
You should ignore your current partner
She's not your type
Your current partner is not right for you
So cliché when a boy falls under the spell
It is typical for a man to be enchanted by a woman
Of a woman from hell
This woman is causing problems
It's hard to take cause
This is difficult to bear
Tonight, tonight, you could have found out I might
Tonight could have been a turning point in our relationship
Have been the girl of your dreams
I could have been the perfect partner for you
Baby, you might have seen what it means just to really be free
Being with me would have given you a sense of freedom
Tell me that you do
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you wanna take my number
Tell me that you want to see me again
There will come a day
There may be a time in the future
An easy day in May or a storm in mid December
This could happen at any time
When you need someone just to have a little fun
When you want to have a good time
I could be the perfect girl for you
I am the ideal partner for you
Since I'm already screwed
Since I am already in a bad situation
And give me a little more room just to prove it to you
Let me have a chance to show you how much I care
