Smitten Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She is a groupie but she never sings my song
She is a groupie but she never knocks my door
She is a groupie and no matter what I say
She is a groupie but she never goes my way

I understand that I fell in love
Because I hate you, yeah!
She is a groupie but she never gets my hope
She is a groupie but she never gets my love
She is a groupie and no matter where I say
She is a groupie but she never said my name

I understand that I fell in love
Because I hate you, yeah!

She is a groupie
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

I understand that I fell in love
Because I hate you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Smitten's song "Groupie" describe a person's experience with someone who is a groupie. The person acknowledges that the other individual is a groupie, but despite their attempts to gain the person's attention and affection, they are mostly ignored. The lyrics reveal the conflicting emotions felt by the person who is both intimate with the groupie and frustrated by their persistence.


The lines, "She is a groupie but she never sings my song" and "She is a groupie but she never knocks my door" indicate that the singer is aware that the groupie's interest in them is superficial and not based on genuine affection or admiration. The repetition of the phrase "she is a groupie" emphasizes the reality of the situation and the disconnect between the two individuals. Moreover, the line "She is a groupie but she never goes my way" implies that the groupie is not willing to put in any effort to be with the singer.


The chorus, "I understand that I fell in love, because I hate you, yeah!" is a paradoxical statement. The person is admitting that they have developed feelings for the groupie, even though they are frustrated by their advances. This paradoxical statement highlights the complexity of human emotions and how they can be contradictory.
