All Night Long
the cherry bomb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She used to call me baby
I thought she was such a lady
But my how things have changed
Since times moved on

I give her my last dollar
And now all she'll do is holler
Oh, my life has become
A country song

I've learned she can resist me
By the way she always disses me
And comes to bed at night
With that cold cream on

Sometimes I might feel frisky
But these days it's just too risky

It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
All day long, it goes on and on

If a tree fell in the forest
She didn't hear it, would I still be wrong?
I guess I should admit it
She ain't ever gonna quit it

It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long

Man, I remember when her eyes used to be so blue and shiny
God, You oughtta see what's happened to her hiney
Her what? Her hiney
Man that thing is big enough to land a small plane on
Small plane? I'm tellin' you

I used to roll her in the the clover
But think God those days are over, Hallelujah!

It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
All day long, she knows on and on

If some day they drop the big one
I'd say sweet Jesus, she's gonna finally leave me alone
It's alright if we say it
'Cause the radio won't play it





It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cherry Bombs' song "All Night Long" tell the story of a man who is fed up with his partner's constant nagging and criticism. He vividly remembers the good times they had but now he feels like his life has become a country song, full of heartache and disappointment. The chorus emphasizes the frustration of the situation: it's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long. He feels that he can't do anything right, no matter how hard he tries. He jokes about her large bottom, illustrating the humor and irony of the situation.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of isolation, with the line "If a tree fell in the forest, she didn't hear it, would I still be wrong?" suggesting that he feels unheard and unappreciated. He acknowledges that she will never stop nagging him and he dreams of finally being able to have some peace when the big one drops (presumably a reference to a nuclear bomb). The references to country music and the humorous tone of the lyrics add to the ironic and satirical nature of the song.


Line by Line Meaning

She used to call me baby
She used to show me love and affection


I thought she was such a lady
I had high opinions of her and held her as a respected figure


But my how things have changed
However, life has taken a drastic turn now


Since times moved on
Things have changed with time


I give her my last dollar
I provide whatever financial support I can


And now all she'll do is holler
But she doesn't seem to appreciate it and just keeps nagging


Oh, my life has become
This is how my life has turned out


A country song
It's a typical country-style story of love gone awry


I've learned she can resist me
I have come to know that she resists me


By the way she always disses me
She always puts me down and insults me


And comes to bed at night
At night when we lie down


With that cold cream on
With cold cream on her face


Sometimes I might feel frisky
Sometimes I may feel in the mood for intimacy


But these days it's just too risky
But now it's just not worth the trouble


It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
It's difficult to be intimate with someone who's constantly nagging and criticizing


All day long, it goes on and on
It's a never-ending cycle


If a tree fell in the forest
If something happened and she wasn't around


She didn't hear it, would I still be wrong?
Would I still be blamed for it even if it wasn't my fault?


I guess I should admit it
I have to confess


She ain't ever gonna quit it
She's never going to stop nagging and criticizing


Man, I remember when her eyes used to be so blue and shiny
I remember a time when I found her beautiful and attractive


God, You oughtta see what's happened to her hiney
Her butt has taken on an unappealing shape and size


Her what? Her hiney
Her buttocks


Man that thing is big enough to land a small plane on
It's really huge


Small plane? I'm tellin' you
It's no exaggeration


I used to roll her in the the clover
I used to love being intimate with her


But think God those days are over, Hallelujah!
Thank God those days are gone and over with


If some day they drop the big one
If someday there's a major event


I'd say sweet Jesus, she's gonna finally leave me alone
I would hope that this event would lead to her leaving me alone


It's alright if we say it
It's fine for us to express these thoughts and feelings


'Cause the radio won't play it
It's not appropriate for public broadcast


It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
It's difficult to be physically intimate with someone who's verbally abusive and critical all day long


It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
It's difficult to be physically intimate with someone who's verbally abusive and critical all day long
