Fuck Me Pumps Lyrics – Amy Winehouse
Fuck Me Pumps Lyrics
[Intro]
Woah!
[Verse 1]
When you walk in the bar
And you're dressed like a star
Rocking your "eff me" pumps
And a man notice you with your Gucci bag crew
Can't tell who he's looking to
'Cause you all look the same, everyone knows your name
And that's your whole claim to fame
Never miss a night, 'cause your dream in life
Is to be a footballer’s wife
[Chorus]
You don't like players
That's what you say
But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire
You don't like ballers
They don't do nothing for ya
But you'd love a rich man six-foot-two or taller
[Verse 2]
You're more than a fan looking for a man
But you end up with one-night stands
He could be your whole life if you got past one night
But that part never goes right
In the morning, you're vexed
He's on to the next
And you didn't even get no text
Don't be too upset if they call you a sket
'Cause like the news, every day, you get pressed
[Chorus]
You don't like players
That's what you say
But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire
All them big ballers
Don't do nothing for ya
But you'd love a rich man six-foot-two or taller
[Verse 3]
You can't sit down right
'cause your jeans are too tight
And you lucky it's ladies' night
With your big empty purse
Every week it gets worse
At least your breast cost more than hers
So you did Miami, 'cause you got there for free
But, somehow, you missed the plane
You did too much E
Met somebody and spent the night getting caned
[Bridge]
Without girls like you, there'd be no fun
We'd go to the club and not see anyone
Without girls like you, there's no night life
All those men just go home to their wives
Don't be mad at me 'cause you're pushing thirty
And your old tricks no longer work
You should have known from the jump
That you always get dumped
So dust off your "f**k me" pumps
Fuck Me Pumps Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "Fuck Me Pumps" by Amy Winehouse is a satirical critique of a certain type of woman who frequents nightclubs and high-profile events, seeking attention and validation through their appearance and social connections. These women often aim to attract wealthy men, particularly athletes and celebrities, hoping for a luxurious lifestyle. Despite their glamorous facade, their efforts often result in fleeting, superficial relationships and a sense of emptiness. The song underscores the disparity between their public persona and private dissatisfaction, highlighting the pitfalls of such a lifestyle.
[Verse 1]
The verse describes a woman entering a bar, dressed provocatively and drawing attention with her expensive fashion items like Gucci bags. She and her friends look similar, blending into the scene where they are known for their appearance rather than their individuality. Their primary aspiration is to become the wife of a famous football player, a symbol of success and luxury in their eyes.
[Chorus]
In the chorus, the woman claims she isn't interested in players or ballers (athletes), but her actions suggest otherwise. She seeks a wealthy man, preferably tall and handsome, revealing her contradictory desires for financial security and social status.
[Verse 2]
This verse highlights the woman's pattern of behavior. Though she wants a meaningful relationship, she often ends up with one-night stands that leave her disappointed. Each morning, she finds herself replaced by someone else, without even a follow-up text. The lyrics suggest that she is frequently gossiped about, much like daily news stories, emphasizing her transient and unfulfilled social life.
[Verse 3]
The third verse illustrates the physical discomforts and social struggles the woman faces. Her tight jeans and empty purse symbolize her effort to fit into a glamorous but financially strained lifestyle. Even though she has had cosmetic enhancements, she still feels the pressure to compete with other women. Her misadventures, like missing a flight after a night of partying, reflect her chaotic and unsustainable lifestyle.
[Bridge]
The bridge acknowledges the role such women play in nightlife culture, suggesting that their presence makes clubs more exciting. However, it also points out the inevitable aging and diminishing effectiveness of their tactics. The woman, now nearing thirty, finds her old tricks no longer work, leaving her to confront the reality of being frequently discarded.
