Rude
The Vamps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet
All the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man, yeah
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is 'No'
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
Rude
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me we will be boys
Standing at that altar
Or we will run away
To another galaxy, you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still 'No"
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
No matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
Rude
Rude
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say, I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but 'No' still means 'No'!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
No matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
Rude
Why you gotta be so
Rude
Why you gotta be so rude?
The lyrics to The Vamps' song "Rude" tell the story of a man who is deeply in love and wants to marry his girlfriend. He goes to her father's house with the intention of asking for his blessing, but the father is not receptive to the idea. The man is shocked by the father's negative response and asks him why he is being so rude. Despite the father's objections, the man is determined to marry his girlfriend and start a family.
The song explores themes of love, family, and tradition. The singer is aware that the father is an "old-fashioned man," which suggests that there may be cultural or societal pressures that the man is up against. However, he is also aware that his love for his girlfriend is more important than any of those pressures. The father's disapproval creates a sense of conflict that is resolved by the man's determination and the power of his love.
Overall, "Rude" is a catchy and upbeat song that explores universal themes of love and family. It tells a story that many people can relate to and will resonate with listeners of all ages.
Line by Line Meaning
Saturday morning jumped out of bed
I woke up early on Saturday morning and was excited to start my day
And put on my best suit
I wore my nicest outfit to show respect for the occasion
Got in my car and raced like a jet
I drove as fast as I could to get to you quickly
All the way to you
I traveled a long distance to be with you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
I came to your door holding my heart in my hand, showing how much I care about you
To ask you a question
I came with an important question that I needed to ask you
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man, yeah
I know that you value tradition and respect, so I came to ask for your approval
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
I would like to marry your daughter and spend the rest of my life with her
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
Please give me your blessing so that I can move forward with my plans
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
You're telling me that you will never give me your approval, even if I wait my whole life
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is 'No'
Unfortunately for me, you are saying that I cannot marry your daughter
Why you gotta be so rude?
Why are you being so disrespectful and denying my request?
Don't you know I'm human too?
I have feelings just like you and I deserve to be treated with respect
I'm gonna marry her anyway
I am determined to marry your daughter regardless of your disapproval
Marry that girl
I am going to marry your daughter
Yeah, no matter what you say
I am going to marry your daughter even if you try to stop me
And we'll be a family
Once we are married, we will be a family together
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
I do not want to do this, but you are giving me no other option
Can't live without her
I love your daughter so much that I cannot imagine my life without her
Love me or hate me we will be boys
Even if you do not like me, we will still be connected through your daughter
Standing at that altar
I envision us standing at the altar together on our wedding day
Or we will run away
If we cannot get married here, we will go somewhere else to get married
To another galaxy, you know
We will literally go to another place or planet where nobody can stop us
You know she's in love with me
Your daughter loves me and wants to marry me
She will go anywhere I go
Your daughter is devoted to me and will follow me wherever I go
You say, I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Even if I ask for your blessing again in the future, you will never give it to me
Tough luck, my friend, but 'No' still means 'No'!
Your answer is still 'No,' and it will not change no matter how much I ask
Rude
Your behavior is rude and disrespectful towards me and my feelings
