Saw Red Lyrics

Girls don't go crazy
Oh woman...hold man tight

Every day I love him a little bit more
A litle bit more, a little bit more
Every day I love him just a little bit more
And he loves me the same

Every day I love her a little bit more
A little bit more, a little bit more
Every day I love her just a little bit more
And she loves me the same

Baby if ya wanna get low
Baby if ya wanna get high
It makes no sense at all
I saw red
I saw red
I saw red
One more secret lover that I shot dead
Every day I wake up, just a little bit more
feelin' like a dog in the yard
Because it's just how we are
And every day I wonder if it's over
When I wake up I realize that it not
And I break down the wall

You say it's black but I can't believe you
And if I say it's white say I'm just trying to decieve you
And baby, I'm aware of the high and the low
And I'll be waithing in the middle
But I just lack control
Baby if ya wanna get low
Baby if ya wanna get high
It makes no sense at all
I saw red
I saw red
I saw red
One more secret lover that I shot dead

Girls don't go crazy
Girls don't go crazy
Oh girls don't crazy when the men use you oh
Women hold your men tight
If it makes you feel alright
It's your own life

yeah, I like it better with Gwen too, it is a great song. I think this song has to do with cheating, Im not sure because I think Brad and his girl been cheating on eachother so maybe its about that.

Ok this song is just about a bad relationship,

And not about black and white babies...jesus put down the crack pipe. That's just an argument, And he is saying with the line that they are just arguing for arguings sake. I'll say white so you say black....Kinda like I say up so you say Down. Seeing Red is anger. When Someone says I saw Red it means that they are really angry.

Every day I wake up, just a little bit more feelin' like a dog in the yard Because thats just how we are And every day I wonder if it's over When I wake up I realizin that WE HATE And I break down the wall...

And in the end "It's your own life." (so do what you are gonna do) Rufff

Am I the only one who thinks this song isn't just about a relationship? Seeing red could easily be a reference to shooting heroin (when you find a vein, you check to "see red" at the base of the needle so that you know). It also includes lines like:

"And baby, I'm aware of the high and the low And I'll be waithing in the middle But I just lack control"

Which could easily be a reference to the effects of the drug. I'm not sure if I want to say the song is about a relationship between users, or if the relationship is a metaphor for drugs... but either way, it seems to me that drug usage/addiction probably plays a part in the meaning.

yes thats exactly what its about... god damn so many ppl are retarded

Seeing red is a junkies heaven you've hit a vein. The black and white reference is about pros in cons of use though you know. wakin up sux when strung out trapped like a dog with barely No existance

@NTFG While you very well could be right, I highly doubt it. It seems every one wants to believe every god damned Sublime song is about heroin. While some of them are, or some one them do make references to it, most of it has nothing to do with heroin! People always to seem to think they are some genius because they can piece together the fact that he did heroin, then they just say every god damned thing is about heroin. In this case you really could be right, but I'm pretty sure you are wrong.

mmm this song makes me crazy! its unbelievably good and i just wish i could've shaken brad's hand. love

Cover art for Saw Red lyrics by Sublime

I think NTFG is write about shotting up with drawing blood in the syringe when shooting up and that the highs and the lows are the swings that he goes through when shooting up because of his relationship issues

Cover art for Saw Red lyrics by Sublime

it's about heroine jello is right

seeing red is a death sentence

Cover art for Saw Red lyrics by Sublime

i think this song is about heroin addiction. i made an account just to comment this, lol.

Every day I love her a little bit more A little bit more, a little bit more And she loves me the same ------he's using a girl to describe heroin. he gets more and more addicted, but of course, heroin remains the same.

Baby if ya wanna get low Baby if ya wanna get high It makes no sense at all ------when you get high on heroin, people call it getting low.

I saw red I saw red I saw red One more secret lover that I shot dead -------i read something on here that said shooting up h and seeing red means you fucked it up, and thats what bradley's singing about. i've heard of some heroin turning brownish/red like blood when it's cooked down.

Every day I wake up, just a little bit more feelin' like a dog in the yard Because it's just how we are And every day I wonder if it's over When I wake up I realize that it not And I break down the wall --------a day not doing heroin "wake up just a little bit more" can make you sick "feeling like a dog in the yard cause thats just how we are"

You say it's black but I can't believe you And if I say it's white say I'm just trying to decieve you And baby, I'm aware of the high and the low And I'll be waiting in the middle But I just lack control ---------heroin can be white (china) black (tar)... he's aware of the highs it'll give him either way, bc he's a heroin addict and just 'lacks control'

Baby if ya wanna get low Baby if ya wanna get high It makes no sense at all I saw red I saw red I saw red One more secret lover that I shot dead

Girls don't go crazy Girls don't go crazy Oh girls don't crazy when the men use you oh Women hold your men tight -------"girls" dont go crazy when the men use "you" = heroin. hold your men tight....

If it makes you feel alright It's your own life -------- self explainatory

I think you are one of the few that have a clue ,though lyrics can be interpreted in a variety of ways; I believe its about smack "getting low" is a way of saying "getting off" or shooting dope. When a junky sees red its like heaven you are finally in a vein about to be HIGH. The white n black can either be pros n cons of talking to someone about your use. Alsothe reference to wakin like a dog trapped in a yard is a junkies worst feeling goin to sleep without a wakeup. Thgough maybe about...
