Pokin' Around Lyrics

Hey, loading the kitchen with the
Crap in the cupboard
You save for later
For when he leaves you all alone
You're so excited
He's finally called
You used to miss him
Now you're so turned on
You used to miss him
Now you're so turned on

Pokin' around
Gotten out of hand
I feel for you
I feel for you
Pokin' around
Lover, you can't stand
I feel for you
I feel for

I hover above you
Looking over your shoulder
In the dingy kitchen
You're looking so much older
He's out on the town
Looking for you
Living the way you like
You make your own truth
Living the way you like
You make your own truth

Pokin' around
Gotten out of hand
I feel for you
I feel for you
Pokin' around
Wants another hole
I feel for you
I feel for you
Pokin' around
Lover, you can't stand
I feel for you
I feel for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't tell if this is about drugs or a vibrator or if it's some huge metaphor. Or, instead of it being something they do by themselves, perhaps it's looking through the guy's stuff out of suspicion.

I want to agree with you, LivieP, this song is about drugs, the chorus hints at it.
