Judy Lyrics
I knew a girl and her name was Judy
She used to do things I thought were rude
But I never said anything to her face,
'Cuz my friends I thought she'd kick my arse all over the place.
Used to think she was kinda cool (kinda cool)
I saw her walking all around the school (around the school)
All the older boys would stop and turn their heads,
All the older girls wished that she was dead.
Judy, whatcha gonna do?
When you're older and no one wants to know ya?
I will look out for you,
If you will look out for me
I know I'm not as hard as you
But I think I can see right through you,
Now me and Judy we're the best of pals (best of pals),
She took me dancing to the early hours (early hours)
And showed me things I've never seen
Mum always asked me where I'd been
when I'm with,
Judy, whatcha gonna do?
When you're older and no one wants to know ya?
I will look out for you,
If you will look out for me
I know I'm not as hard as you
But I think I can see right through you,
When you go,
Home at night,
Are you still looking,
For a fight?
You know you're mum,
Is not that mean,
But still you want to,
Rip out her spleen.
Judy, whatcha gonna do?
When you're older and no one wants to know ya?
I will look out for you,
If you will look out for me
I know I'm not as hard as you
But I think I can see right through you,
ooooh
ooooh
What's in your head?
She used to do things I thought were rude
But I never said anything to her face,
'Cuz my friends I thought she'd kick my arse all over the place.
Used to think she was kinda cool (kinda cool)
I saw her walking all around the school (around the school)
All the older boys would stop and turn their heads,
All the older girls wished that she was dead.
When you're older and no one wants to know ya?
I will look out for you,
If you will look out for me
I know I'm not as hard as you
But I think I can see right through you,
She took me dancing to the early hours (early hours)
And showed me things I've never seen
Mum always asked me where I'd been
when I'm with,
When you're older and no one wants to know ya?
I will look out for you,
If you will look out for me
I know I'm not as hard as you
But I think I can see right through you,
Home at night,
Are you still looking,
For a fight?
You know you're mum,
Is not that mean,
But still you want to,
Rip out her spleen.
When you're older and no one wants to know ya?
I will look out for you,
If you will look out for me
I know I'm not as hard as you
But I think I can see right through you,
ooooh

Um...I may be over annylizing, but I think the narrator started out by being somewhat upset at Judy's choice, by which I mean...Judy is a lesbian. The narrator thinks Judy is cool, and wants her for a friend but a realationship develops. The narrator is concerned for Judy, because once this part of her life is over, her decisions may lead her to heartbreak. The narrator says she will be there for Judy, if Judy can do the same for her. I think the narrator is commited to Judy, but does not know what's in her head...Like I said before though, I may be over anylizing.
This song is obviously about a teenage friend who lives for the moment, but the singer is saying that when she's older, she'll have to enter the real world and will be alone.
I think it is about a tough, hot chick that all the girls wanted to be but hated her at the same time. She treats people like crap to be honest, and the words "what are you going when you are older and no one wants to know ya?" is just referring to when she leaves school and nobody gives two damns about her.
But the narrator wants her to know she'll still be there for her when they exit the high school walls and no one cares how tough or hot she was in high school.
yeah, cadylin, that's overthinking it. it's not meant to be a super deep song. i can see where you got it from, but i think it's just supposed to be about a tough girl who makes friends with the narrator of the song and shows her bad things like smoking and drugs and naughty things with boys or something.
You are all over-analyzing. This is just a pop version of Elliott Smith's "Punch and Judy". Listen to it and you will find that they sound almost exactly the same, except The Pipettes just reworded the lyrics.
My boss's name is Judy, and every time I so much as think of her, this song implants itself into my brain. I love the song, but it's too catchy!
Note: my boss is actually lovely, unlike the Judy in the song! :)
