Dirty Love
Thunder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you walking by
You've got that faraway look in your eye
It was only yesterday
Like a cheap suit you were all over me
I should know better by now my friend
Just what I mean to you
You've been running in and out of my life so long
I don't want nothing to do with you

I don't need your dirty love
I don't want you touching me
I don't want your dirty love it's enough
Trying to live with the memory

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

Chew me up spit me out
You turned my whole world inside out
There's a name for girls like you
You belong in the gutter I know that you do
Baby I've had enough lies to last
The rest of my days on earth
So now you're gonna get what you deserve

I don't need your dirty love
I don't want you touching me
I don't want your dirty love it's enough

I know there ain't no way I'll stay
We were gonna break it up someday
And that day is now, baby I'm getting out




So don't you cry now sigh now
'Cos you've been living a lie now when I'm not around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Thunder's song Dirty Love describe the frustration and disillusionment of the singer towards a relationship that he knows is not worth his time and effort. The song begins with the singer seeing his partner from a distance, realizing that the spark of passion that they once had is long gone. He acknowledges that he should have known better than to think that she cared for him deeply, and compares her to a cheap suit that he no longer wishes to wear. The singer goes on to state that he does not want his partner's dirty love, nor does he want her to touch him, as he is fed up with the lies and deceit that she has subjected him to.


The song's chorus, with its repeated "na na na na" refrain, adds to the frustration and annoyance of the singer towards his partner. He is determined to end the relationship and move on with his life, even if it means living with the memory of the past. He recognizes that he has been chewed up and spit out by his partner, and calls her out for being a girl who belongs in the gutter. The singer asserts that he has had enough lies and that his partner will get what she deserves.


Overall, the lyrics of Dirty Love are a straightforward expression of a failed relationship, with the singer standing up for himself and resolving to leave behind a toxic situation that he can no longer tolerate.


Line by Line Meaning

I see you walking by
I have observed your presence


You've got that faraway look in your eye
Your eyes appear to be looking at something distant


It was only yesterday
Recently, only a few hours have passed


Like a cheap suit you were all over me
You were all over me like a cheap, ill-fitting garment


I should know better by now my friend
With experience, I should have learned not to trust you


Just what I mean to you
Your true intentions towards me


You've been running in and out of my life so long
You have been repeatedly exiting and entering my life for some time now


I don't want nothing to do with you
I want absolutely no association or relationship with you


Chew me up spit me out
You used me and then discarded me


You turned my whole world inside out
Your actions have caused upheaval and turmoil in my life


There's a name for girls like you
Your behavior fits a certain negative stereotype


You belong in the gutter I know that you do
You have a low social status and reputation


Baby I've had enough lies to last
I have reached my limit with your dishonesty


The rest of my days on earth
For the remainder of my life


So now you're gonna get what you deserve
You will receive just retribution for your actions


I know there ain't no way I'll stay
I am certain that I will not remain with you


We were gonna break it up someday
It was inevitable that our relationship would eventually end


And that day is now, baby I'm getting out
That day has finally arrived, and I am ending things between us


So don't you cry now sigh now
Don't express sadness or regret now


'Cos you've been living a lie now when I'm not around
You have been deceiving me in my absence

Thunder - Amor Sujo

Eu te vejo, andando
Você tem aquele olhar distante nos seus olhos
Foi apenas, onde
Como um terno barato você estava toda em mim
Eu devia saber melhor por agora, minha cara
O que eu significo pra você
Você esteve entrando e saindo da minha vida há tanto tempo
Eu quero ter nada pra fazer com você

Eu não quero seu amor sujo, não quero você me tocando
Eu não quero seu amor sujo, é o bastante
Tentar viver com a lembrança
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Me mastigou, me cuspiu, virou meu mundo de ponta cabeça
Existe um nome para garotas como você
Seu lugar é na sarjeta, eu sei o que você faz
Baby, eu já tive mentiras o bastante para
O resto dos meus dias na terra
Então agora, você vai ter o que você merece, uh huh

Eu não quero seu amor sujo, não quero você me tocando
Eu não quero seu amor sujo, é o bastante

Eu sei, não tem jeito de eu ficar
Nós vamos acabar terminando um dia
E esse dia é agora, oh baby, estou saindo
Então não chore agora, suspire agora
Porque você esteve vivendo uma mentira agora
Quando eu não estou por perto

Uh, grr ah
Yeah yeah yeah

Você esteve entrando e saindo da minha vida por tanto tempo
Não tem jeito de eu ficar
De jeito nenhum, não

Eu não quero seu amor sujo, não quero você me tocando
Eu não quero seu amor sujo, é o bastante tentar viver com a lembrança
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Oh oh oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Baby você não sabe?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh no
Então saia, eu já fiz suas malas
Eu as deixei na porta, então as tire de lá
Come a andar, isso, vá em frente
Pegue a sua vassoura e voe, para o céu HAHA
Isso está certo, não olhe pra trás, não não
Eu sei que você esteve me fazendo mal, eu sei
Eu sei, hey hey
Eu sei que você esteve me fazendo mal, eu sei
Eu sei, hey hey
Eu sei que você esteve me fazendo mal, eu sei
Eu sei, hey hey
Eu sei que você esteve me fazendo mal, MÁ, vamos, saia
Vá embora, me deixe em paz, entre no ônibus e dirija
Ah não
Este cara, ele não precisa das suas, ele não precisa de seus
Cheque e dolares
Ruim né? yeah
Eu não quero isso baby

How did I miss this band??? I'm so glad that after all this years I landed on this masterpiece. I filled me up to the top with energy and joy!

Thomas Müller

I missed them too. But saw them supporting Alice Cooper in Frankfurt. First I thought, Who are these old men?
Danny with short grey hair. But It was the good time hard Rockn´Roll. Superb. Didn´t see Alice complete this evening. Allways had some songs of Thunder in my head. Energy and Joy like you called it.

Larry Wilson

They kinda flew under the wire in the US. The only reason I found them was I did an Apple Music about ex-Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor, and they showed up. Turns out he produced their first album.

jamie seiple

It's never too late to be an 80's hair band. This one is great!

Crackbadger

Seeing Thunder do this live is one of the greatest sights in rock

M G

One of the greatest debut albums by any band ever!!!

Unknown

I agree

Jayson Raphael Murdock

I agree as well

Victor Garcia Jr

This 5 minute video has more truth about women and relationships than any documentary 😅 And it ROCKS! 🤘🏻

Alison

This has always been my favourite Thunder song. Love it!
