Jenny
Studio Killers/PengoSolvent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's a few things that you don't know of
Why I borrow your lipstick so often
I'm using your shirt as a pillow case
I wanna ruin our friendship
We should be lovers instead
I don't know how to say this
Jenny, darling, you're my best friend
I've been doing bad things that you don't know about
Stealing your stuff now and then
Nothing you'd miss but it means the world to me
I wanna ruin our friendship
We should be lovers instead
I don't know how to say this
'Cause you're really my dearest friend
I wanna ruin our friendship
I don't know how to say this
'Cause you're really my dearest friend
Jenny take my hand
'Cause we are more than friends
I will follow you until the end
Jenny take my hand
I cannot pretend
Why I never like your new boyfriends
Oh, your love for them won't last long
Forget those amigos
Oh, your love for them won't last long
Forget those amigos
Forget those amigos
I wanna ruin our friendship
We should be lovers instead
I don't know how to say this
'Cause you're really my dearest friend
Oh, your love for them won't last long
We should be lovers instead
Oh, your love for them won't last long
'Cause you're really my dearest friend
We should be lovers instead
'Cause you're really my dearest friend
Jenny
The song "Jenny" by Studio Killers tells a story of a person who is in love with their best friend, Jenny. The lyrics suggest that the singer is hiding their true feelings for Jenny, doing things like borrowing her lipstick and using her shirt as a pillowcase. They reveal that they have been doing bad things behind her back, specifically stealing her stuff, even though they know she wouldn't miss it.
The chorus of the song is the singer admitting that they want to ruin their friendship with Jenny and become lovers instead. They struggle to express their feelings because they value the friendship so much, but the desire for something more is too strong. The song ends with the singer asking Jenny to take their hand and become more than friends, suggesting that they have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Jenny" explores the complex emotions that come with unrequited love and the fear of losing a valued friendship. The singer is torn between their desire for something more with Jenny and their fear of losing her altogether. The song is a catchy and fun way to express these conflicting emotions.
