Dumb Lyrics

I think she's with a guy who is more prudish than she is. She swears and is a beast in the sack, and he can't handle it. He wants a "lady" or a virgin, and that's not what she is. "You'll never come sucking your thumb" I think means he's a prude who won't fuck her, or maybe he will fuck her, but he's such a prude about it and it's frustrating. This song reminds me of how I have dated a couple guys who thought I was a slut because I had more sexual experience under my belt than they did. Or maybe that just scared them, so they called me a slut to deal with their own insecurity. That's why I like this song.
