The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
dear penis, i don't think i like you anymore
you used to watch me shave now all you do is stare at the floor
oh dear penis i dont like you anymore
it used to be you n me a paper towel and a dirty magazine,
thats all we needed to get by
now it seems things have changed and i think you're the one to blame
dear penis i dont like you anymore
he sings:
dear rodney i dont think i like you anymore
cause when you get to drinking you put me places i've never been before
dear rodney i dont like you anymore
why cant we just get a grip on our man to hand relationship
and come to terms with truly how we feel
if we put our heads together we'd just stay on forever
dear penis i think like you after all
you used to watch me shave now all you do is stare at the floor
oh dear penis i dont like you anymore
it used to be you n me a paper towel and a dirty magazine,
thats all we needed to get by
now it seems things have changed and i think you're the one to blame
dear penis i dont like you anymore
he sings:
dear rodney i dont think i like you anymore
cause when you get to drinking you put me places i've never been before
dear rodney i dont like you anymore
why cant we just get a grip on our man to hand relationship
and come to terms with truly how we feel
if we put our heads together we'd just stay on forever
dear penis i think like you after all
