audioweb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And suck up to me of you want to
I don't care if you kiss my ass
And suck up to me of you want to
I've got that you want
But you've got not to succeed
Stop kissing me please
I don't mind if you leave me dry
And get me so high if you want to
I don't care for your two faced smile
And the way that my life seems to haunt you
You've got nothing i want
You've got nothing i need
Stop touching me please
Yeah [Repeats]
I've got what you want
What you've got not to succeed
Stop touching me please
?
Yeah? [Repeats]
Don't want you to touch me no more
Don't want you to kiss me no more
Don't want you to touch me no more
Don't want you to kiss me no more
Don't even love your smile
Don't even love your smile
Don't want you to touch me no more
Don't even want you to kiss me no more
Don't even love your smile
The lyrics to Audioweb’s song “Yeah?” showcase a person who is tired of people trying to use them or be fake towards them in order to get what they want. The repeated lines of “I don’t mind if you kiss my ass and suck up to me if you want to” highlight how the singer is aware of people’s ulterior motives and is indifferent to whether or not they want to flatter or please them. The lines “I’ve got what you want, But you’ve got not to succeed” suggests that the singer knows they possess something of value but that the person isn’t likely to achieve it.
The second verse furthers this idea of insincerity and two-faced behavior, as the singer sings “I don’t care for your two-faced smile, and the way that my life seems to haunt you.” The singer isn’t fooled by the polite facade of the person - they can see right through them. The lines “You’ve got nothing I want, You’ve got nothing I need” emphasize that the singer is unimpressed and wants to be left alone. The repeated refrain of “Stop touching me please, Yeah?” highlights the singer’s desire for space and autonomy, which is further solidified by the lines “Don’t want you to touch me no more, Don’t want you to kiss me no more.”
