Rebecca Lyrics
I woke up next to you in bed
Already thinking when can I see you again
I swear I won't come on so strong
I can be gone when you want me to be gone
I can come when you want me to come
I can come when you want me to come
(Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca)
I don't want to stand here next to you
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
I don't want to stand here next to you
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
And if I had known the address
I would have taken a cab
Instead I had to run just to make it
In time to leave again
You don't need to forgive to move on
Maybe just a good couple casual fucks
Maybe just a good couple casual fucks
(Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca)
I don't want to stand here next to you
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
I don't want to stand here next to you
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
Want you to hit me like a bus
And then I'll get right the fuck back up
Step out in front of the next coming one
(Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca)
I don't care if you can't stay
I know it never really works that way
We don't have to fall in love
We can just have fun
(Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca)
I don't want to stand here next to you
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
I don't want to stand here next to you
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love with you
Already thinking when can I see you again
I swear I won't come on so strong
I can be gone when you want me to be gone
I can come when you want me to come
I can come when you want me to come
(Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca)
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
I don't want to stand here next to you
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
I would have taken a cab
Instead I had to run just to make it
In time to leave again
You don't need to forgive to move on
Maybe just a good couple casual fucks
Maybe just a good couple casual fucks
(Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca)
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
I don't want to stand here next to you
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
And then I'll get right the fuck back up
Step out in front of the next coming one
(Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca)
I don't care if you can't stay
I know it never really works that way
We don't have to fall in love
We can just have fun
(Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca)
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
I don't want to stand here next to you
And pretend there's nothing I don't want to do
When I just want to grab you by the skull
Rebecca kiss me, but let's not fall in love
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I've always interpreted this song as ironic, constantly reassuring Rebecca they can be casual / wont get attached while miserably failing at doing so.
It ends with "No, I don't want to fall in love with you," and needing to move on, possibly from a previous relationship, but the opening starts with openly admitting attachment and then saying it wont be an issue.
The being hit by a bus metaphor also really doesnt seem to fit with someone telling a girl they just want to hook up to move on, its admitting a problem / pattern.
