Take A Hint
Victoria Justice and Victorious Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can always see 'em coming, from the left or from the right
I don't want to be a priss, I'm just try'na be polite
But it always seems to bite me in the
Ask me for my number, yeah, you put me on the spot
You had me at "hello", then you opened up your mouth
And that is when it started going south
Oh!
Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop your staring at my hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
No you can't buy me a drink, let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
T-take a hint, take a hint
I guess you still don't get it, so let's take it from the top
You asked me what my sign is, and I told you it was "stop"
And if I had a dime for every name that you just dropped
You'd be here and I'd be on a yacht
Oh!
Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop your staring at my hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
No you can't buy me a drink, let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
T-take a hint, take a hint
What about "no" don't you get?
So go and tell your friends
I'm not really interested
It's about time that you're leavin'
I'm gonna count to three and
Open my eyes and
You'll be gone
One
Get your hands off my
Two
Or I'll punch you in the
Three
Stop your staring at my hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
I am not your missing link
Let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
Take a hint, take a hint
Woah!
Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop your staring at my hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
T-take a hint, take a hint
In Victoria Justice's song "Take A Hint," the singer discusses the common issue of being hit on by people she has no interest in. She claims that she can always see them coming, whether it be from the left or right, and that she tries to be polite, but it never works out in her favor. She uses the line "you had me at 'hello'" to indicate that she was initially interested in the person, but once they opened their mouth, they ruined their chances with her. Justice warns the person to take a hint and stop hitting on her, as she is not interested in any way. She also uses figurative language when she says "Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips," indicating that she is fed up with their advancements and would like them to stop altogether.
Overall, the song serves as an empowerment anthem for women who may feel uncomfortable in situations when men make unwanted advances. The song reassures women that it is okay to say no and to stand up for themselves when they feel uncomfortable.
