Convention Performance
The Barden Bellas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I ever deny
You got me so high
So high I cannot feel the fire
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you'll be sweet
And you'll never want to leave my side
As long as I don't break these
I'm your dream girl
This is real love
But you know what they say about me
That girl is a problem
Girl is a problem
Girl is a problem problem (And they still feel all so wasted on myself)
Sweat
Dripping down your chest
Thinking 'bout your tattooed knuckles
On my thigh boy boy boy
Cold
Shower you got no
Power to control
How I make you my toy toy toy
My hips rocking
As we keep lip locking
Got the neighbors screaming
Even louder louder
Lick me down like you were
Rolling rizla
I'm smoking
Come and put me out(So wasted on myself)
I'm your dream girl
This is real love
But you know what they say about me
That girl is a problem
Girl is a problem
Girl is a problem problem
Oh baby
You so bad boy
Drive me mad boy
But you don't care when they say about me
That girl is a problem
Girl is a problem
Girl is a problem problem (And they still feel all so wasted on myself)
The lyrics of Convention Performance by The Barden Bellas are a portrayal of a turbulent and intense relationship. The singer is overwhelmed by the physical and emotional power of their partner, unable to resist their allure even though this person is widely regarded as a problem. The lyrics capture the internal struggle of the singer, who acknowledges that their partner is not good for them, yet continues to be drawn to them at the cost of their own well-being. The physical passion between the two is also evident in the lyrics, with vivid descriptions of the sweat, touch, and power dynamics in their interactions.
The chorus of the song, "I'm your dream girl, this is real love, but you know what they say about me, that girl is a problem," is particularly poignant as it highlights society's tendency to label people and judge them based on their perceived flaws. The singer is painfully aware of this stigma but is also unwilling to break away from their partner despite the consequences. The lyrics, while suggestive, also depict a sense of vulnerability and confusion that the singer feels, as they try to navigate their feelings and desires.
