No Fun
Pop (Iggy) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No fun my babe
No fun
No fun my babe
No fun
No fun to hang around
Feelin' that same old way
No fun to hang around
Freaked out for another day

No fun my babe
No fun
No fun my babe
No fun
No fun to be alone
Walking by myself
No fun to be alone
In love with somebody else
Well maybe go out, maybe stay home
Maybe call Mom on the telephone
Well c'mon, well c'mon
C'mon c'mon
Now Ron, I say Ron
C'mon and lemme hear you tell em
Lemme hear you tell em
Now I feel
I say lemme hear you
Tell em how I feel, yeah, my man
No fun to be alone
It's no fun to be alone
Hang on
Don't you lemme go

It's no fun to alone
To be alone

The song also touches on the idea of being alone, and how it's not fun to be by yourself when you're in a state of emotional unrest.

Throughout the song, Pop (Iggy) contrasts the idea of having fun with the reality of feeling stuck and unhappy. He sings about how it's "no fun to hang around feeling that same old way" and being "freaked out for another day." He also mentions the possibility of going out or staying home, but neither option seems particularly appealing. The lyrics end with Pop (Iggy) repeating the phrase "it's no fun to be alone," suggesting that all of these negative feelings stem from a sense of isolation or disconnect from others.

Overall, "No Fun" is a powerful commentary on the human experience of feeling stuck and unfulfilled.
