"Slave Girl" adalah sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh band rock Amerika Goo Goo Dolls. Lagu yang dirilis pada tahun 1998 ini menarasikan kisah kompleks yang mengungkapkan rasa frustrasi dan keterikatan seorang pria dalam hubungan yang tidak seimbang. Pria ini menggambarkan kekasihnya sebagai seorang "budak perempuan" yang mengendalikan dan mengekangnya, namun juga menjadi sumber keinginannya yang kuat. Liriknya berisi permohonan agar kekasihnya tetap menjadi "budak"nya, karena dialah satu-satunya yang bisa memenuhi hasrat liarnya. Namun, di sisi lain, lagu ini juga menunjukkan perjuangan sang pria untuk membebaskan dirinya dari belenggu hubungan yang menyiksa ini.
Slave Girl Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I drag her around wherever I go
This little woman drives me insane
She's tied to my ankle with a ball and chain
For sixteen years, she's been hangin' around
Tryin' to bury me in a hole in the ground
Well, I think it's time that I even the score
There's only room for one in this cage of yours
Don't save me when I startin' to drown
Don't use me when you don't want me around
Just be my slave girl, cuz that's all I need
So take a little step back to the stone age with me
Go!
Well I hear a strange noise as I lie in my bed
I feel a lotta water drippin' on my head
I look around tried to see through my hair
You left me alone, but do you think I care?
Cuz you moved me when I was takin' my time
You abused me when I'm outta line
You tried to warn me of the danger sign
So watch out!
Go!
Well, you got me in the bondage of another age
You drive me to distraction in a primitive way
I can't control my instincts when I hear her say
Just come around and see me if you lose your way
So join my chain gang, play along with me
I'll be your caveman, it's basic as can be
I'm not insane, man, I'm just outta my tree
I drag her around wherever I go
This little woman drives me insane
She's tied to my ankle with a ball and chain
For sixteen years, she's been hangin' around
Tryin' to bury me in a hole in the ground
Well, I think it's time that I even the score
There's only room for one in this cage of yours
Don't save me when I startin' to drown
Don't use me when you don't want me around
Just be my slave girl, cuz that's all I need
So take a little step back to the stone age with me
Go!
Well I hear a strange noise as I lie in my bed
I feel a lotta water drippin' on my head
I look around tried to see through my hair
You left me alone, but do you think I care?
Cuz you moved me when I was takin' my time
You abused me when I'm outta line
You tried to warn me of the danger sign
So watch out!
Go!
Well, you got me in the bondage of another age
You drive me to distraction in a primitive way
I can't control my instincts when I hear her say
Just come around and see me if you lose your way
So join my chain gang, play along with me
I'll be your caveman, it's basic as can be
I'm not insane, man, I'm just outta my tree
