She's Not My Girlfriend Lyrics

She's Not my Girlfriend
her heart is in my hand
it shivers like a toad
she tries to understand
the tiny lump thats down
inside her throat it goes
suck, suck
her face is inside out
an open book report
i read what she's about and she's
filled with words that hurt it goes
suck, suck
her head is in my lap
it twists and coffs and sings
her hair is in my grasp
it hangs and swings like
swollen strings she just
suck, suck
sometimes i want her in
sometimes i want her out
my perception of sin
is filled with pain and fear and doubt
she is not my girlfriend
i'm not who you think i am
her clothes are on the ground
a crumpled rainbow mass
she's scattered all around
and she's scattered now
like broken glass it goes
suck, suck
sometimes i want her in
sometimes i want her out
my perception of sin
is filled with pain and fear and doubt
she is not my girlfriend
i'm not who you think i am

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A lot of Manson's lyrics have got deeper meanings...but this is an earlier song back from the spooky kids era. In my opinion, they were pretty basic back in the day. The meaning seems pretty obvious to me. He's not going out with the girl and he's using her. She's very vulnerable and naive. I think it's about feeling guilty over something that you know isn't right but feels good. Very hedonistic.

I feel like this song pretty much lays everything in front of you. No hidden meanings, no metaphors, just a basic theme of getting it on with a girl whom he isn't in a relationship with. The song was originally called Killing Heather, but the changed it to avoid too much trouble. He mentions the girl in his autobiography under a different name.
