Natalie
The Low Life Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like cherries small and sweet
Gonna pluck them from your cherry tree
I like your butter when it's soft and warm i'll
Spread it on the bread with my ring finger
I like farming with my plow and hoe
Anything to get your little garden to grow
I like to whistle when i make you scream as long as you are
Nice and tight and squeaky clean

Though there will never be a time for me and natalie
I see her every moment in someone else's sheets
Where she and i live our lives fulfilling all
My fantasies but all my hopes are dreams because
She never meant that much to me

I like the honey in the short red dress
It's me that's watching you i must confess
I like the honies with the dark brown eyes as long as they bring
Along their big old thighs

I like the smell of your nectar sweet and getting
On my clothes like some freshly cut meat
And i like the lovely little cheerleader girl where every night's a prom
Night when you're in my world

Never called romeo not like you know him though more like the man in your
Cheap magazines
Who lives and who listens then gathers his wisdom based on
The results that allow him to be
It's not that i'm sexist, confused, misdirected because i say thing you don't want eyes to see
I'm just an old rover stop talking roll over let's get this shit over and watch some tv.





Won't you settle down now, take your panties off?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Low Life's song Natalie are sexually explicit and objectifying, reflecting the shallow perspective of the singer towards women. The first verse describes his sexual preferences in a crude way, using similes related to food and farming, as if he is choosing from a menu. He also enjoys making women scream and is concerned about their hygiene. However, he acknowledges that his fantasies will never come true with Natalie, whom he only meets in his dreams or in someone else's bed. He seems to be aware of his own insignificance in her life and the fact that he only sees her as a sexual object.


The second verse repeats the same pattern of objectification, with the singer confessing his attraction to women with different physical features, from the color of their eyes to the size of their thighs. He likes the smell of their bodies and enjoys the company of a "cheerleader girl", whom he imagines as his own private "prom night." He distances himself from the romantic archetype of Romeo and instead identifies with the "man in [his] cheap magazines", implying that his expectations of women are based solely on their appearance and performance in bed. The final line, "Won't you settle down now, take your panties off?", is a request for instant gratification without any emotional connection or commitment.


Overall, the song Natalie portrays a sexist and objectifying view of women, reducing them to mere commodities for male pleasure. The singer lacks empathy and respect for their autonomy and individuality, treating them as disposable objects. The song reflects the pervasive misogyny in popular culture and raises questions about gender roles, power dynamics, and societal expectations.
