Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I hear people talkin' 'bout you
They're saying that you're tryin' it again
This time you're tryin' it with someone new
Well I guess it's none of my business
But where did you find this guy
I've seen you with some losers before, baby
Dump that creep, dump that creep
He's only gonna make you sorry
That you didn't listen to me
Dump that creep
And come with me
Come with me
Ain't ya got no self respect
Well I expected more from you
Can't you see he's goin' for the neck
He's gonna make a wreck of you
He's onto you like a rat up a drain pipe
Can't ya see that he's the king of the jive
He's gonna wait 'til time is just right
Then he's going to eat you alive
Dump that creep, dump that creep
He's only gonna make you sorry
That you didn't listen to me
Dump that creep
And come with me
Come with me
Well I guess it's none of my business
But where did you find this guy
I've seen you with some losers before, baby
But this one takes the prize
He's onto you like a rat up a drain pipe
Can't ya see he's the king of the jive
He's gonna wait 'til time is just right
Then he's going to eat you alive
Dump that creep, dump that creep
He's only gonna make you sorry
That you didn't listen to me
Dump that creep
And come with me...
The lyrics to The Troopers' song Creep is a plea to a woman to dump a guy and come with the singer instead. The singer doesn't believe that the woman has any self-respect for trying to be with the guy who is only going to make her sorry in the end. The singer uses strong words such as "creep" to describe the guy and emphasizes that he will eventually make a wreck of her. The singer then offers the woman a solution to her problem - to come with him instead.
The message of the song is quite simple and direct, yet it touches on an important issue of self-respect and choosing the right partner. The singer believes that the guy the woman is seeing is not worth her time, and he is concerned for her well-being. The lyrics are meant to persuade the woman to leave the guy and choose the right path, ultimately urging her to take control of her own life.
Overall, the song portrays the classic dilemma of choosing between two people, and it is evident that the singer wants the woman to choose him. It's not clear whether the woman chooses to be with the singer, but the lyrics do show that the singer strongly believes that the guy the woman is currently seeing is not the right choice for her.
