Samantha, you swore
You never turned that trick before
Keep waiting for a war
You'll never win
You'll lose again
Watch her wrap her legs around this world
Can't take that gutter from the girl
Samantha
You burned me out
Samantha
It's over now
Samantha
Your war
Was a lost cause before I came
Keep praying
Pray for
The pretty things you won't get back
Watch her wrap her legs around this world
Stab the gutter right out of that girl
That girl
Through villages of ether
My crucifixion comes
Will you sing my hallelujah?
Will you tell me when it's done?
Look in my eyes
There's nothing there
Goodbye
I wanted you out of my whole life
Goodnight
And don't try to move
People like you fuck people like me
In order to avoid agony
People like you fuck people like me
In order to avoid suffering
People like you fuck people like me
Fuck people like you
Fuck people like me
Fuck people like you
Fuck people like me
Fuck people like you
Fuck people like me
(Fuck people like you)
Leave your money by the bed
(Fuck people like me)
(Fuck people like you)
In the gutter where you live
(Fuck people like me)
And I throw it all away
And I throw it in your face
And if you were on fire
I would just throw kerosene
Cause I love so much I hate
And I hate what you have seen in me
Samantha
So you think that you could save him
And we know that someone died
Oh, an unkindness of ravens
And we know that Mary lied
And through villages of ether
Oh, my crucifixion comes
Will you sing my hallelujah?
Will you tell me when it's done?
People like you fuck people like me
In order to avoid agony
People like you fuck people like me
In order to avoid suffering
People like you fuck people like me
Fuck people like you
Fuck people like me
Fuck people like you
Fuck people like me
Fuck people like you
Fuck people like me
Fuck people like you
You never turned that trick before
Keep waiting for a war
You'll never win
You'll lose again
Can't take that gutter from the girl

in a uk interview, love said samantha was a prostitute, hence "Leave your money by the bed In the gutter where you live" but in reality, it could have been love insulting this girl she detests further by calling her a whore on national tv. then again, im sure in courntey's fall she would have been hanging around people like that in the streets during a drug addiciton and would have been fucked over a lot.
In another interview Courtney stated that she is not sure who "Samantha" is, and that is may very well be her and how she sees herself sometimes. However, when Love writes music she stated that she sometimes personifies the protagonist of the song - she further stated that it was similar to Stevie Nicks' Rhiannon.

That's alot of posts, there. Hehe.
My sentiments is that it is a song about Kristen Pfaff and what she (Love) truly thinks / feels about her. She was crazy jealous and pissed Kurt and Kristian got along so well. She hooked her on heroin. She's quoted saying don't F with me. She's quoted saying what about your gf that died referring to Kristian? and in and on if you do your due diligence. Frame it with this perspective and listen to the gutteral lyrics and how she States she loves so much she hates... Doesn't it all add up like a criminal making a sideways confession ? Her singing is realistic, genuine, and authentic because she knows what she's singing about and she's still pissed !!! Or maybe not... what do you think those that know the available facts around Kristian's death ??? It struck me today after listening to this song for years off and on... but today watching a few documentaries on the topic of Pfaff's death...well, it speaks for itself... does it not ? Praying for their souls... ALL.
I listened to this song in the car with my mom the other day... "People like you fuck people like me" Boy, that was a long trip... XP Great song anyway though. :)
