Mild innuendo, mature relationship themes
These lyrics are from 'Bulletproof' by La Roux. The song centers on emotional self-protection after a painful relationship, with themes of resilience, distrust, and guarding oneself from being hurt again. There is no explicit profanity, graphic violence, or drug references. The line 'I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap' carries a mild sexual undertone or innuendo, suggesting a jaded, possibly transactional view of intimacy. The phrase 'do your dirty words come out to play' could be interpreted as mildly suggestive. Overall, the content is relatively tame and deals primarily with emotional maturity, post-relationship guardedness, and self-empowerment. The sexual undertones are minor and indirect, making this more suitable for teens with some parental awareness rather than requiring a strict mature rating.

Been there, done that, messed around I'm having fun, don't put me down I'll never let you sweep me off my feet I won't let you in again The messages I've tried to send My information's just not going in I'm burning bridges shore to shore I break away from something more I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap Been there, done that messed around I'm having fun, don't put me down I'll never let you sweep me off my feet This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof I won't let you turn around And tell me now, I'm much too proud To walk away from something when it's dead Do, do, do your dirty words Come out to play when you are hurt? There's certain things that should be left unsaid Tick, tick, tick, tick on the watch And life's too short for me to stop Oh baby, your time is running out I won't let you turn around And tell me now I'm much too proud All you do is fill me up with doubt This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof This time, I'll be bulletproof This time, I'll be bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
