Popular song lyrics that would be a red flag in real life - light hearted

[Unglamorousgranny]

Watched Cliff Richard singing Livin' Doll on MTV at the weekend. "Got a rovin' eye & that is why she satisfies my soul" "gonna lock her up in a trunk so no big hunk can steal her away"
So he's a cheat & a kidnapper!

Can you think of any others? There's no reason what so ever for this post, other than a change from all the worries we are all facing

😂😂😂

That is not the lyric, it's "let me know is your heart still beating"

Delilah by Tom Jones is about DV.

Smack my bitch up

12 year old me singing away to this living life, only recently have I actually listened to how awful this is. Cheers busted 🤦🏽‍♀️

It happens every time,
You've given me the sign,

We start to get it on,
But then you stop me.
You know i've had it up to here,
You need to be more clear,
'cause you're the one that let me here,
So take me,
'cause you said that you would,
But then you changed your mind,
How could you do this to me,
It's just so unkind.
And it's cruel if you say that you'll go all the way,
I can't wait for the day,
That you don't change your mind.

I've been calling that a stalkers song for decades.

Baby it's cold outside.

I think a lot of people don't really listen to the lyrics. I had a discussion a few weeks ago about, "I don't like Mondays" with someone who had no idea it is about a school shooting. I think I said, "Have you not listened tot he lyrics?"

Breathe Again - Toni Braxton. Would be utterly manipulative in real life.

Please understand, if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you
That, that I shall never breathe again

And I know I can't pretend
That I won't die if you decide
You won't see me again

Hey little girly is your daddy home, did he go away and leave you all alone

Uh huh, I've got a bad desire
Oh oh oh I'm on fire.

My 16 year old ds was listening to me singing along to Roy Orbison once, I drove all night to make love to you,
And said mum that song's really rapey isn't it!

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?

Nothing about bleeding arses 🤣🤣🤣

Those lyrics are different if you're a Stoke City fan 🤣

Never gonna stop, give it up. Such a dirty mind.
Always get it up for the touch
Of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo.
M M M My Sharona

The whole of Therapy, singing Diane. Even the video is creepy. I am aware that this version is a cover but unacceptable nowadays.

Can't remember the song title but thing it's an LL Cool J one where he says

'smooth little girls rolling with rough guys' I turn it off every time it comes on as it makes me feel sick 🤮

Also, a Beyoncé song, think it's called Cherry maybe? Lyrics:
'I know everything you want, give me that Daddy long stroke' 🤢

Anything with daddy or talking about little girls is grim

It is creepy. Its based on Lolita the book by Nabakov about an older man obsessed with a teenager. I think Nabakov may even have been the first to use the word teenager or nymphette to describe this young girl.

I hate the Drake song Hotline Bling

Ever since I left the city, you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Girl you got me down, you got me stressed out
Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started wearing less and goin' out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before

So HE leaves the city but SHE's supposed to just stay home like a good girl and wait for him to return 😡😤

You don't know you're beautiful, and that what makes you beautiful? Fuck off and stop preying on girls with no self esteem, 1D.

Although that song was so brilliantly parodied by Amy Schumer with Girl You Don't Need Makeup that I can't hear one without mentally hearing the other now.

"Girl, I can't be seen with the ghost from The Ring"

Sorry my previous comment was supposed to be in response to this.

Simply Red, this song always makes me sick:

In the middle of the night
When the time is right
Sexily right
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm feeling hot
I ain't ever gonna stop
To get what you got
You better take what I bring
I feel it now
Much harder now
More than any old how
Say you feel the pain
Feel I'm getting harder now
(Get off your back four, get on top more)
Feel I'm sinking farther down
(Get off your back four, get on top more)
I told you to stop
You're sleeping out a lot
You told me get lost
Where's your understanding

Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out I'm gonna push it
Push it push it some more

Low key love that song though!

"I'm gonna break down your defences, one by one
I'm gonna hit you from all sides, lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from taking you"

The Bee Gees - You Win Again.
Gets played practically every day on the radio station I have on in the car.

Not very lighthearted !

This one is pretty creepy.

"Come Live With Me" by Heaven 17
I was thirty-seven
You were seventeen
You were half my age
The youth I'd never seen
Unlikely people meeting in a dream
Heaven only knows the way it should have been
Here today my tomorrow
Where you lead I will follow
All that kissing
No passion missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Dinner parties followed
And all my age implies
My friends began to talk
I began to realise
If half the things they say
Are quarter true of me
Then how can I eclipse the youth
You gave to set me free
There was something in your smile
That was hard to reconcile
The time had come to testify to reason
Though years will not erase
Remembrance of those days
At least there's no submission to hearts treason
Here today my tomorrow
No more shame only sorrow
All that kissing
There's something missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Now there's nothing left to cry for
And there's nowhere left to go
Just another hopeless fight
But how were we to know
The strong are sometimes wrong
But the weak are never free
The choice we made we can't evade
Don't try to follow me
Here today my tomorrow
No more pain only sorrow
All that kissing
There's something missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye

I'm pretty sure that this song was written about a real event/issue that Sting encountered when he was an English teacher way back - something about one of his students having a crush on him..... Not completely certain if it's true, but I'm sure I remember reading that somewhere....

That’s a great sketch - thanks!

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, then just do what you feel

In the summertime

Really annoying that the tune is so catchy as I hate this song!

"I drove all night, crept in your room, came upon you asleep, and made love to you, is that alright? I drove all night!"

I heard this on the radio recently (after hearing it obviously lots of times before!) and it really jumped out at me as creepy.

And a while ago we watched an old episode of TOTP with Tom Jones and (iirc) Cerys Matthews from Catatonia, singing Baby its Cold Outside. It hadn't aged well at all.

Tonight's The Night - Rod Stewart - creepy and rapey, going on about his desire to have his way with a young virginal girl:

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door, too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind

Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty French gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate 'cause

Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

Come on angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside, 'cause

(Chorus)

Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old

(Chorus)
