Great music, not so great lyrics

Okay, this thread popped into my head after listening to a couple of songs this afternoon the melody of which I love but have mediocre lyrics.

In my case, the songs I listened to were Hair, from Gaga. I really love the music but nowadays the lyrics are kinda cringy for me, I'm sorry :( The other one was Lana's Lust for Life. The lyrics aren't bad, but they are very simple and don't do justice to how great the melody is.

What are the songs the music of which you love but wish they had more elaborate lyrics?

Katy Perry :bear:

So many times a song will sound great and then there’s a lyric about eye crust or something stupid?

Slut Pop! The whole thing. Some good music there but the lyrical content is absolute trash.

Chained to the Rhythm, cute song bad lyrics
--> a lot of Katy Perry

hard to think of more examples bc sometimes they're bad and I love them, or if they're so bad I just won't like the song period lol

I read a lot of people here saying Hair has cringy lyrics and I really can't find a reason why

Doesn't hurt to do a quick search about the meaning of the song.

I think the verses imply Marilyn doesn’t care about who JFK and herself are in the relationship as long as they are together

Ava Max in general. Really love her music, but the lyrics are pretty basic/uninspired.

This. Her lyrics feel too wordy and are quite hard to remember.
