Give it to me, don't give it away
Don't think about what the others say
My skin's getting clear, my hair's so bright
All you do is fuck me every day and night

You're my secret beauty routine
Na na na na, what my body has seen
I am lookin' good and I'm feelin' nice
Baby, you're the best magazine advice

[Chorus:]
Gimme your hot white come [Repeat: x4]

I'm gonna pull you back down between the sheets
Everything is fresher when the day is sweet
In the morning light when you're already on the phone

Face it, one of these days
Without you I'm just another Dorian Gray
It's the fountain of youth, it's the meaning of life
So hot, so sweet, so whet my appetite

[Chorus]

Face it, one of these days
Without you I'm just another Dorian Gray
It's the fountain of youth, it's the meaning of life
Baby, you're the best magazine advice

[Chorus: x2]

Your hot white come

    Lyric Correction:Isn't it, "Hot White Cum"? "Come" refers to "arrive," "cum" is a slang for semen. It's "cum"

    Song Meaning:What should be obvious is that this is a song about a girl who tried some beauty advice in a magazine, and loved it. So now she likes sex just because it keeps her happy and beautiful, and feeling young. She sings this song, half sarcastically, to the man who she fucks just for his "hot white cum" so she doesn't become another Dorian Gray and sell her soul for beauty.

    I suppose some people don't like it because they don't believe it's ok for a woman to like sex for the sake of sex. This is a "reverse" role, because finally a woman is using a man for sex instead of vice-versa. As usual, Liz Phair is brilliant.

    I say it's "half-sarcastic" because of the way that she sings the chorus. There's no emotion there, so she doesn't really want his cum, she just wants to be beautiful, and that's what makes her happy.

    General Comment:Just a girl enjoying some dirty, sloppy sex. Love how the poppy rock music contrasts with the dirty lyrics, but it's much more elegant than a typical dirty rap song. She's singing an ode to come.

    @thiel I'm sorry about whatever happened to you to make you hate one of the main by-products of sex and probably hate sex itself. But, get this, some girls actually like the tastes and smells of sex, including a man's come. That's right, not just porn stars! And it doesn't make them dumb, feminist, nor anti-feminist.

    This shouldn't offend or threaten you. Feel free to continue having missionary sex in a bed through a hole in a sheet. Just keep in mind that some people get off differently than you do. Some people lick toes, some people wear leather. Liz Phair drinks come.

    General Comment:Seriously, is this supposed to be some kind of dark sarcasm, or is this really some sort of "powerful" (or other kind of feministic shit) song about some cuntless little girl who has bought into this negative approach to sex with its secretion fetishes, and into all those pathetic excuses (like the crap about nice skin and "easing depression") that whoreboys (and their cheeerleading twatless bints) come up when they try to justify and normalize their often chauvinistic, hateful wankery what they nurture with pornography (which isn't just born out of that negativity but also spreads the "joyful" message of sexual hatred and estrangement )and take it out on their partners (aka, women) and claiming how the most important part about sex is secretions, where it goes and what happens to it once its out. Of course this only applies to men's secretions, after all, women's sexuality should be without smell,taste,hair or secretions, in other words, it should equal to a plastic blow-up doll.

    This is just fucking gross, and there's nothing positive about in it. Even if it's supposed to be sarcasm and critical about secretion obsessed view on sex, it isn't being very clever about it.

    General Comment:so artslut: what exactly makes her a slut? That sings a song about having sex with a younger man? If you were a guy singing about sex with a younger woman... you would pretty much any rock musician from Robert Plant to Elvis. If you are a female and sing about same thing you're a slut? Idiotic double standard.

    General Comment:I truly believe in sex-positive music. I really enjoy "Flower," so I'm clearly not a hater -- don't stone me! This song is just so...stupid. I'm usually better at coming up with adjectives, but no other word comes to mind. I'm not a Phair fan by any means...I own a few of her songs, some from her "Guyville" debut and some more recent. Maybe she was trying to bring back the sexual, amusing magic of "Flower." I just don't know. I guess she sounds desperate here? Maybe that irks me. In "Flower," she didn't, and the arrangement was really pretty, too. I don't know if she was going for shock value here. Shit, it's just straight-up awful.

    General Comment:C'mon, Urban Cannibal, lighten up.

    I'm about as asexual as they get, but this is just plain fun and joyous and a gigantic flip of the bird to the powers that prevented her from spelling the title out properly.

    General Comment:Yawn...both this and "Flower" just annoy me. She sounds like a precocious teenager in a school playground, saying naughty words to her friends just because she can, and so they can have a good giggle to each other. Listen to Liz's potty mouth...she's so naughty! Good thing mommy's out of earshot or she'd be sooo grounded!

    Wretched.
