BAMBOLA Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sheesh, you can’t fool me
Got your friends in the back, take a groupie
Sing along to a song, karaoke
Tr-Tr-Tropical touch, lookin’ fancy
Sheesh, so stupid
Wrapped ’round my finger, I’m Cupid
My God, I’m too lit
See the birds, hear them chirp like tweet-tweet
[Chorus]
Yaba, daba, whatcha doin’?
Whom have you been talking to?
Use you like a bambola
‘Cause you do what I told you to
Yaba, daba, whatcha doin’?
Whom have you been talking to?
Use you like a bambola
‘Cause you do what I told you to
[Verse 2]
You don’t know what to say
Isn’t it so exciting?
Making you want to wait
Why would you bother fighting with?
I’ma get fly, controlling your mind, playing you like a doll
Aren’t we having fun? We can be gone like, I wanna get you, oh
Sometimes I wanna play with you real slow
I choose two, when to stop, and when to go
L-L-Love it when you’re under my control
So turn it up, up, up
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I’m reaching for your soul, oh
One of these days, get ready
One of these times, you’ll take the bite
Whatever I want, I get it
[Chorus]
Yaba, daba, whatcha doin’?
Whom have you been talking to?
Use you like a bambola
‘Cause you do what I told you to
Yaba, daba, whatcha doin’?
Whom have you been talking to?
Use you like a bambola
‘Cause you do what I told you to
[Verse 3]
I’ve been hearing talk around the town
That you say you’re one of a kind
And you’ve been telling every lie
Reaching for the sky, and then I grab and drag you down
‘Cause I say you’re the kind of type who’s gonna fall (Fall)
Okay, (Okay) there must be a way to flip this
Touché, (Touché) if you think you’re the one who make it
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I’m reaching for your soul, oh
One of these days, get ready
One of these times, you’ll take the bite
Whatever I want, I get it
[Chorus]
Yaba, daba, whatcha doin’?
Whom have you been talking to?
Use you like a bambola
‘Cause you do what I told you to
Yaba, daba, whatcha doin’?
Whom have you been talking to?
Use you like a bambola
‘Cause you, ’cause you
[Outro]
Yaba, daba, whatcha doin’?
Whom have you been talking to?
Use you like a bambola
‘Cause you do what I told you to
Yaba, daba, whatcha doin’?
Whom have you been talking to?
Use you like a bambola
‘Cause you do what I told you to
BAMBOLA Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
In the opening verse, TEN introduces a carefree, almost mocking tone. The use of phrases like “Sheesh, so stupid” and “Wrapped ’round my finger, I’m Cupid” indicates that TEN is fully aware of their power and the effect they have on others. The reference to “birds chirp like tweet-tweet” adds to the playful atmosphere, suggesting that while the game may be lighthearted, it’s still one of control and influence.
[Chorus]
The chorus centers on the phrase “Use you like a bambola”, emphasizing TEN’s mastery over their partner. The repetition of “Yaba, daba, whatcha doin’?” adds a sense of fun and nonchalance, as if TEN is orchestrating the interaction from a position of superiority. The line “’Cause you do what I told you to” reinforces the theme of manipulation, underlining the artist’s dominant role.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, TEN becomes more direct, acknowledging their ability to control their partner’s actions. The phrase “I’ma get fly, controlling your mind, playing you like a doll” suggests a deeper level of psychological manipulation, where TEN controls the narrative and dictates the pace of the relationship. The lines “I choose two, when to stop, and when to go” further highlight this power dynamic, where TEN calls the shots at every moment.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus introduces a sense of inevitability, with TEN stating, “One of these days, get ready, One of these times, you’ll take the bite”. This builds anticipation, suggesting that the person being controlled will eventually succumb to TEN’s influence. The line “Whatever I want, I get it” reinforces the idea that TEN is in full control and always gets what they desire.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the central theme of dominance and manipulation. TEN’s casual attitude, coupled with their control, remains the focus, showcasing how they continue to orchestrate the interaction with ease.
[Verse 3]
In this verse, TEN begins to address the other person’s facade, claiming that they are “one of a kind” while also calling out their lies. TEN’s words take on a more accusatory tone, suggesting that the person is trying to present themselves as unique but is ultimately falling victim to TEN’s manipulation. The line “’Cause I say you’re the kind of type who’s gonna fall” signals that TEN anticipates their complete control over the situation.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus is repeated, reinforcing TEN’s desire for full dominance and foreshadowing the eventual submission of their partner. The anticipation of “taking the bite” suggests that the person will soon give in to TEN’s advances, solidifying the theme of control.
[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated once more, solidifying the narrative of power, control, and the thrill of manipulating another person. The sense of ownership over the other’s actions is central to the song’s mood and message.
[Outro]
The outro echoes the chorus, emphasizing the dominance TEN holds in the relationship. The repetition of “Use you like a bambola” leaves the listener with a final impression of control and detachment, closing the song with a sense of finality and power.
