Lyrics for Fuck Was I as interpreted by spoonlike

Fuck Was I Lyrics
Love grows in me like a tumor
Parasite bent on devouring its host
I'm developing my sense of humor
Till I can laugh at my heart between your teeth
Till I can laugh at my face beneath your feet

Skillet on the stove
It's such a temptation
Maybe I'll be the lucky one that doesn't get burnt
What the fuck was I thinking?

Love plows through me like a dozer
I've got more give than a bale of hay
And there's always a big mess left over
With the "What did you do?"
And the "What did you say?"
"What did you do?" and the "What did you say?"

Skillet on the stove
It's such a temptation
Maybe I'll be the special one that doesn't get burnt
What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking?
What the fuck was I thinking?
What the fuck was I thinking?

Love tears me up like a demon
Opens the wounds, then fills them with lead
And I'm having some trouble just breathing
If we weren't such good friends I think that I'd hate you
If we weren't such good friends I'd wish you were dead

Skillet on the stove
It's such a temptation
Maybe I'll be the lucky one that doesn't get burnt
What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking?
What the fuck was I thinking?

Love is so embarrassing
I'm this awkward and uncomfortable thing
I'm running out of places to hide it
I'm running out of places to hide it
What the fuck was I thinking?

(You know that I've got what you want)
What the fuck was I thinking?
(You know that I've got what you want)
What the fuck was I thinking?
(You know that I've got what you want)
What the fuck was I thinking?
(You know that I've got what you want)

i love this song.

what i got out of it is that she's in love with someone and she's trying to tell herself that it will work out. when in reality its not going to happen and he's not worth it. so she's asking herself "what the fuck was i thinking?," meaning why did she ever fall for him and why did she ever think things could work out.

when she says "love grows in me like a tumor / love plows through me like a dozer / love tears me up like a demon" shes saying she doesnt want to be in love because she knows he wont return the feelings. but in the back of her mind shes hoping. "you know that i've got what you want"

Pelvicthrust has said it best so far, that the persona in the song has become in love with someone despite her knowing that it will not work out. The love she feels is like a 'tumor', something that she normally would never have asked for, wanted, or expected, but arose nonetheless. Knowing that the love is like the parasite, the speaker tries to just accept it - (I'm developing my sense of humor/ till i can laugh at my heart between your feet.)

But, i believe that in this case, the person she falls in love with is her best friend (if we weren't such good friends i think that i'd hate you..). The persona then tries to just take the risk of having a relationship with this man, saying maybe she will be special or 'the lucky one that doesn't get burnt.' She then tries the relationship out, only to find out that it fails just as she expected and gets hurt - just as she had expected. The persona is left wondering - 'what the fuck was i thinking?'

Sometimes you just can't help falling in love.

you know, I don't think the situation matters.
it could really be anything.
just about going up to touch the skillet when, duh, it's going to burn you.
hey maybe she never even got together with this person, like you all say.
maybe it has nothing to do with a boy/girlfriend

this song is about being in love with the right person at the wrong time. the right person is your best friend and loving them is this amazingly complicated thing because you know how perfect or near perfect it could be but the feelings are simply not recipricated. Its hard being there everyday having to fuction as if these sentiments are not existant ("i'm running out of places to hide"). And it is this hidding that kills, it is slowly killing you because love become a part of you and you cant hide who you are. i also think there was a relationship there at some point and it was ended or simply went sour for the best friend ("with the "what did you do?" and the "what did you say?").

this song is about being in love with your best friend but they love someone else, and they will never know how much you love them. it's about how you shouldn't risk it at all, and how scared you are and about the rejection you feel when they choose someone else instead of you. this song is all about the pain that sits in the bottom of your stomach as much as you try to deny it. its a beautiful song.

This song it totally about a girl who is crazy about this guy, probably your standard meathead guy that no girl can really tie down but she took a shot at it anyway
I.E - Skillet on the stove such a temptation, maybe I'll be the lucky one that doesn't get burnt, what the fuck was I thinking.

We all have one of those guys.....

What does the expression "I've got more give than a bail of hay" mean.
does she say it in an ironic way?

I actually think that this song is about someone still being in love with their ex and how much they really hate it... And they are trying to remain friends with them but it doesn't really work out because it just makes the person angry. I went through the same thing... for a while I hated/loved him even though we were officially "still friends." So when it talks about being such good friends and wishing they could hate them, it totally hits home...

I'm in the same situation, of being in love with my best friend. Love really is like a tumor that spreads through you and kills one's spirit! But, just like in the song, I'm trying my best to laugh about it.

this song is great. as some people have said, it could be something that doesn't even have to do with an exboyfriend or girlfriend. but i think it most likely is talking about someone that she is in love with. it doesn't have to be her best friend though. possibly someone that she was friends with at one point that she doesn't really talk to much anymore. which is breaking her heart because she misses him. maybe at one point she liked having the feeling of being in love with him. but now, she regrets ever letting herself feel that way. - "what the fuck was i thinking?" now she can't get out of it.

"love grows in my like a tumor/love plows through me like a dozer/love tears me up like a demon" -she obviously doesn't want to be in love with him. but she can't control it, love lasts forever.

"i'm havin' some trouble just breathin" - wow, i definitely understand how she feels. this song is basically amazing.

who knows, but I love this song. I'm kinda glad I had that first heartbreak, because now I can really FEEL all these amazing break up songs!
I think it's about whatever situation you've been in and can relate to it. That's the best thing about music, every person takes something different from it....:)

i think it's about becoming jaded. everyone thinks they're the exception to the rule of love. nobody expects to get hurt. this song is in retrospect- she has been hurt and totally didn't expect it. now she's questioning how she could be so stupid as to think she was too smart to get hurt.

the love snuck up on her. she became attached and in love, and, as it always does, it bit her in the ass.

thaatgirl said it well. I think it's totally about a break-up where the guy just wasn't reciprocating feelings and treated her like shit, and she thought this time, maybe it'll be okay, but of course it wasn't and she got hurt just like she has so many other times. It's the feeling of disillusionment about hopes and dreams and her heart all being broken at once in a single moment of realization.

Great song too, I don't think I've ever heard the F-bomb used so many times so very effectively and relevantly. It makes the song perfect, no other sentiment would fit the bill. "What the fuck was I thinking" is exactly the best way to say that. Awesome song.
