Romantic
Mannequin Pussy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so sweet
You're in a bad mood
Every time you wake up with the bees
Stop taking this shit out on me
And I
You would sleep with me if you could do it comfortably
You're so sweet
Everyone here looks just like everyone else
I'm in hell and I
Darling, you'll come back to me
I know you will
Oh, but darling, if you don't
How sad to see this go

The partner seems to take out their frustrations on the singer, who can't seem to do anything right.
The chorus reveals that the partner is not willing to fully commit to a physical relationship, stating that they would sleep with the singer if they could do so comfortably. This further emphasizes the one-sided nature of the relationship and the singer's desperation to make it work. They feel trapped in a hellish situation, surrounded by people who all look the same and unable to escape their own intense emotions.
