Stab You in the Heart

Green Day Released 2020

Song Meaning

Stab You in the Heart is the album's most overt rock'n'roll throwback - a fast 60s-style banger with vocal-effect, hand claps, and a tossed-off Little Richard guitar solo. It's a deliberate Tutti Frutti / Hippy Hippy Shake homage.

Lyrically it's an anti-love song: the narrator is a husband who's just figured out his wife is cheating, and the chorus is exactly what the title says it is. It's pulpy and over the top, very much in the spirit of "Tutti Frutti".

Lyrics

Baby infidel in a dirty magazine
Telling dirty lies, everybody can see
Kick it in the head...and...now I wanna...see you dead
With a switchblade edge...to the chest

I wanna stab you in the heart
I wanna stab you in the heart
Right in the bloody, bloody heart, ooh
For heaven's sake, you're just a fake
And you know it ain't right

Pictures don't lie when you're front-page news
Dagger to the heart coming down on you

I wanna stab you in the heart
I wanna stab you in the heart
Right in the bloody, bloody heart, ooh
For heaven's sake, you're just a fake
Girl, you know it ain't right

Daggers in my eyes and a rusty tambourine
Gimme my stiletto, gonna do some surgery

Right to the heart (In the bloody, oh, in the bloody)
I wanna stab you in the heart (In the bloody, oh, in the bloody)
Right in the bloody, bloody heart, ooh (In the bloody, oh, in the bloody)
For heaven's sake, you're just a fake
And you know it ain't right
