Lyrics

Just met a pornstar

Introducing a character who is a pornstar

She is an actress

Clarifying that she is considered an actress in her profession

Because in real life

Highlighting the distinction between her professional and personal life

She won't admit this

Indicating that in real life, she denies her profession


She doesn't want anyone to know

Describing her desire to keep her profession a secret

So she pretends she's someone else

Explaining that she assumes a different identity to conceal her pornstar status

But I found her out anyway

Revealing that the speaker discovered her true identity despite her efforts

After she told me that she had a boyfriend

Noting that she disclosed having a boyfriend


Had enough, had enough, had enough

Expressing frustration and a desire for change

Of this stuff, of this stuff, of this stuff

Repetition of the frustration and dissatisfaction with the current situation

And I'm sure that you don't really mind

Suggesting that the other person might not care about the speaker's feelings

That you're taking me for one hell of a ride

Conveying the idea that the speaker feels manipulated or deceived


He's a manager, in show biz

Introducing another character, a manager in show business

He said I'd be a star

Quoting the manager's promise of the speaker becoming a star

But now what's this

Expressing confusion or disappointment about the current situation


He stopped returning all my calls

Stating that the manager stopped responding when the speaker couldn't generate profit

When I couldn't make him anymore

Implying that the manager's interest was primarily financial

Money, it changes everything

Highlighting the impact of money on relationships and expectations

When he said that I'd always be a superstar

Recalling the manager's unfulfilled promise of eternal stardom


Had enough, had enough, had enough

Reiteration of frustration and dissatisfaction

Of this stuff, of this stuff, of this stuff

Repetition of the desire for change and escape from the current situation

And I'm sure that you don't really mind

Reiterating the perception that the other person is indifferent to the speaker's feelings

That you're taking me for one hell of a ride

Repeating the sense of being taken advantage of or manipulated


You're taking me for a ride (2x)

Emphasizing the feeling of being manipulated or deceived


Had enough, had enough, had enough

Reiteration of the desire for change and escape from the current situation

Of this stuff, of this stuff, of this stuff

Repetition of the frustration and dissatisfaction with the current situation

And I'm sure that you don't really mind

Reiterating the perception that the other person is indifferent to the speaker's feelings

That you're taking me for one hell of a ride (2x)

Final repetition of the feeling of being taken advantage of or manipulated
