Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Touch me like you know what you do and you don't
But I'm feeling jaded
Know your own love, I don't fuck with no glove
So why complicate it?
Let me be your guide when you eat my pussy out
'Cause I've had one or two, even a few
Yeah, more than you
All these girls stare at me, drop lip
Dripping in harmony, like fifth
Lay 'em down, feel 'em up
And they slide away, so easy
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But they give me what I want for the night
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But I tell 'em and they do what I like
Why
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But they give me what I want for the night
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But I tell 'em and they do what I like
Why
They can't fake it
Drying off the seat when they getting up to leave
So (wet) they get noticed
I'm better if they blunt, I don't really wanna hunt
So why complicate it?
I call it respect when you givin' what you get
So, baby, spread your legs
I'll do the same
Already coming
All these girls stare at me, drop lip
Dripping in harmony, like fifth
Lay 'em down, feel 'em up
And they slide away, so easy
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But they give me what I want for the night (give me what I want for the night)
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But I tell 'em and they do what I like (bitches doin' what I want, yeah)
Why
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But they give me what I want for the night
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But I tell 'em and they do what I like
Why
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But they give me what I want for the night (what I want for the night)
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But I tell 'em and they do what I like
Why
Bitches, I don't trust 'em
But they give me what I want for the night
The song βBitchesβ by Tove Lo/Musicfire.in is a bold anthem about sexual empowerment, exploring the singerβs own sexuality and her confident approach to engaging in sexual experiences. The lyrics seem to be addressing a potential lover, challenging them to touch her with the same level of passion and understanding that she desires. She emphasizes her preference for unprotected sex, stating that she doesnβt βfuck with no gloveβ and urging her partner to be bold and creative in their sexual encounters with her.
However, the song title suggests a larger theme, with the term βbitchesβ being used to refer to the women with whom the singer engages sexually. This could indicate a sense of detachment from her partners, viewing them more as objects to fulfill her own desires rather than as individuals with their own desires and needs. The chorus repeats the line βBitches, I don't trust 'em, but they give me what I want for the night,β highlighting this theme of using others for personal gain.
The verses go on to describe the ease at which the singer is able to attract and satisfy women, indicating a sense of power and control over her sexual experiences. The song ultimately celebrates her sexual desires and her ability to satisfy them, while also acknowledging the potentially non-consensual or exploitative aspects of her encounters with others.
Overall, βBitchesβ is a provocative and sexually charged song that challenges the listener to consider issues of power, consent, and individual agency in the context of sexual relationships.

This song is the hardcore version of Kissed a Girl
@echovalentine6206
I Kissed a Girl was like the straight girl who thinks gays are sinning but still makes out with girls for men's entertainment. This song is like the Sapphic squad who kicks life advice into you and pushed the I Kissed a Girl girl down an escalator in a freak elbow accident.
