Drunk Girl
Pepper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, it's been a long time love
Since i've seen you around
You've made a few mistakes
But you've reached a higher ground

How long will you stay
And will we watch the sun rise
Oh i see your seas
And the tide is getting high

And i don't believe those screaming words you say
And i don't believe that you go both ways
And oh, the only reason you're here with me
Is cuz i love a drunk girl

[chorus:]
Oh oh oh oh oh yea
And you're just a drunk girl
Oh oh oh oh oh yea
And i love a drunk girl
Am i the one to save you love?
Cuz you're just that drunk girl
Oh oh oh oh yea, uh

Now don't i make you feel nice
How i remembered your name
Remember back in school
When you pushed me thru the rain

Well now i want you to feel

That there's no safer place
I'll hold your hair for you
And pull the toilet from your face

And my friends don't believe that that's all it takes
And your girls can't believe that i could be that mistake
But oh! the only reason you're here with me
Is cuz i love a drunk girl

[chorus]

You try to kiss me baby
You're screaming let me lady
You're running hot and heavy
Most people think you're crazy

I'm trying to keep it steady
You're wet and wreckless honey
Don't spit out on me lady
Because i need you ready

And i always knew it would come ot this
And in the morning i've got you off my list
But oh, the only reason you were with me
Is you're just a drunk girl





[chorus]

Overall Meaning

The song "Drunk Girl" by Pepper is about a man who is in love with a girl who is constantly drunk. The man acknowledges that she has made mistakes in the past but feels that she has reached a higher ground. He questions how long she will stay with him and if they will watch the sunrise together. He sees that she is currently in a difficult situation represented by the rising tide. The man does not believe the girl's accusations and rumors, but he loves her despite her drunkenness.


The chorus emphasizes the idea that the girl is just a drunk girl, and the man loves her for who she is, and he wonders if he is the one who can save her from this life. The lyrics also talk about how the girl tries to kiss him and screams for attention, and he tries to keep the situation steady while she is wet, reckless, and crazily drunk.

"Drunk Girl" is a beautiful and insightful song, reminding us to see people beyond their flaws and love them anyway, even if their lives are complicated. The song sheds light on the subject of addiction and the fact that sometimes people require a saving grace. In this case, the saving grace is the man who loves the girl despite her drunkenness and tries to comfort and take care of her.

Hey, it's been a long time love
It's been a while since we last saw each other


Since i've seen you around
I haven't seen you in a while


You've made a few mistakes
You've done some things you regret


But you've reached a higher ground
But you've learned from your mistakes and become a better person


How long will you stay
How long will you be around for


And will we watch the sun rise
Will we stay up all night together


Oh i see your seas
Oh I understand your emotions


And the tide is getting high
And your emotions are becoming stronger


And i don't believe those screaming words you say
I don't believe the things you're yelling out


And i don't believe that you go both ways
I don't believe that you're bisexual


And oh, the only reason you're here with me
And the only reason you're here with me tonight is because I love a drunk girl


Is cuz i love a drunk girl
I'm only interested in you because you're drunk


Oh oh oh oh oh yea
A sound element to the song


And you're just a drunk girl
You're just drunk right now


Am i the one to save you love?
Am I the one who can help you?


Cuz you're just that drunk girl
Because you're just drunk


Now don't i make you feel nice
Don't I make you feel good?


How i remembered your name
I remembered your name from a long time ago


Remember back in school
Remember when we were in school together


When you pushed me thru the rain
When you helped me through a rainy day


Well now i want you to feel
Now I want to take care of you


That there's no safer place
That there's no safer place than with me


I'll hold your hair for you
I'll hold your hair back while you throw up


And pull the toilet from your face
I'll try to help you get rid of the alcohol in your system


And my friends don't believe that that's all it takes
My friends don't think that just taking care of you is enough


And your girls can't believe that i could be that mistake
Your friends don't think I'm a good match for you


But oh! the only reason you're here with me
But the only reason you're with me is because I love a drunk girl


You try to kiss me baby
You're trying to kiss me


You're screaming let me lady
You're yelling at me to let you go


You're running hot and heavy
You're moving fast and with passion


Most people think you're crazy
Most people think you're acting irrational


I'm trying to keep it steady
I'm trying to keep things under control


You're wet and wreckless honey
You're wet from the rain and acting carelessly


Don't spit out on me lady
Don't throw up on me


Because i need you ready
Because I still want you to be there for me


And i always knew it would come ot this
I always knew things would end up like this


And in the morning i've got you off my list
In the morning you won't be on my mind anymore


But oh, the only reason you were with me
But the only reason you were with me is because you were drunk


Is you're just a drunk girl
It's because you were drunk

saw them live two nights ago, and they definitely don't sound as good as they do on the albums, but their performance is full of energy and it's a great experience. even after their set is over, they'll stick around on stage and sing and dance to ACDC and the YMCA, which is what happened two nights ago. even though the dirty heads were the headliners, it was definitely pepper's show.

gsboss

i like peppers reggae style, but the more ska/punk/rock songs like this and give it up seem so good. i think they should come out with an album with all the songs similar to this

Christine

I love Pepper! They sing the truth about drunk girls! =D

Joel Toth
