Don’t question the relationship, it’s your marriage that’s the problem not me, and if you ask for more I’ll dump you. Only the ‘swim through your veins’ part even remotely sounds like drug use and that could just be a referance to how he’s in her blood and she can’t say no to him.
ANother song, that I cactually enjoy, but is probably just plain wrong is lovefool by the Cardigans.

So I cry, I pray and I beg
Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
Love me love me
Say that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
I can’t care 'bout anything but you…

I don’t care if you really care
As long as you don’t go
The song Last Kiss. What if she went to hell? What if the schmuck singing the song went on to live a life of virtue, and when he finally died the Big G tells him “I’m sorry, you can’t see her, she’s sucking 16-inch barbed cocks in Hell”?
Also, they don’t get played on the radio, but anything by Pig Vomit is just wrong.
Well, it may be messed up, but it certainly is accurate. After all, Billy Joel lives by the credo: “marry a hot young supermodel, then divorce her when she gets too old, and marry a supermodel who looks just like my ex-wife did 15 years ago.” Yeah, he likes her just the way she is - 21 years old!
Perhaps this isn’t quite what the OP meant, but I’ve always had a pet peeve against the song “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman.” I can’t help thinking that it implies that Aretha Franklin is NOT a natural woman. I can’t help wondering what she was ‘before the day she met him?’ An automaton? A Stepford Wife? The robot from ‘Metropolis’?
**Dan Hicks ** has a song called “I’ll Tell You Why That Is”, and of all the situations he mentions in the song, he never really tells you why that is.
Lou Christies *Lightning Stricking Again * is pretty evil. This schmuck is asking his girlfriend to stay faithful while he screws anything that moves because, hey, he’s a guy and can’t help it.
Also, Treat Her Like A Lady has a line: Strange as it seems, you can’t treat a woman mean. I’m disturbed that this guy finds the thought of kindness and respect to women to be foreign. What may be worse is that this guy is sending it out as “insider” advice. Apparently, most men are just misogynists and need to be told to be kind to the ladies. AND it’s all just to get laid, so the real lesson is to lie and tell her what she wants to hear so you can get some ass.
Well now-so many comments about how guys in songs are deceptive stinkers.
Would you prefer honest disclosure:
Well she was tall, hair dark as midnight
she had a way just like you do
to make me feel just like a woman should
you can’t call it cheatin’
cause she reminds me of you
The Beatles’ “Run For Your Life” falls into the scary-wrong category.
*Well, I’d rather see you dead, little girl,
Than to be with another man.
You’d better keep your head, little girl,
Or I won’t know where I am.
You better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl–
Catch you with another man,
That’s the end
Little girl.*
etc., etc.
Okay, Mr. Lennon, cheating is bad. But threatening death? Eep!
It’s worse because the song is bouncy and catchy and until you really sit and listen to the lyrics it registers as just another one of their innocuous early pieces. I can’t stop singing along even now, but I feel dirty every time.
Bizarrely enough, that was written by Gerry Goffin/Carole King and was originally performed by The Crystals. Also interestingly, Spiritualized have a song called “She Kissed Me (It Felt Like a Hit).”
It seems that this thread is apparently turning into a round-up of “pop song pedophilia” lyrics. Oh well then, from “Come Up the Years” by Jefferson Airplane:
I oughta get goin’
I shouldn’t stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you’re so much younger than I am
Come up the years
Come up the years
And love me, love me, love me
A younger girl keeps hangin’ around
One of the loveliest I’ve ever found
Blowin’ my mind, stealin’ my heart
Somebody help me 'fore I fall apart
