Tame Impala · Tame Impala - The Less I Know The Better
Mild profanity, sexual reference, romantic jealousy
These lyrics are from Tame Impala's 'The Less I Know the Better.' The song deals with romantic jealousy and heartbreak, with the narrator watching someone he loves be with another person (Trevor). The line 'I heard they slept together' is a direct but non-graphic reference to sexual activity. There is also one use of mild profanity ('bullshit'). The themes are largely emotional — longing, jealousy, unrequited love — but the sexual reference and mild language push it slightly above content appropriate for young children or early teens. The emotional complexity and mild romantic frustration are relatable to older teens. Overall, this is relatively tame content but warrants parental awareness for younger audiences.

Someone said they left together I ran out the door to get her She was holding hands with Trevor Not the greatest feeling ever Said, "Pull yourself together You should try your luck with Heather" Then I heard they slept together Oh, the less I know the better The less I know the better Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side? No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night Oh my love, can't you see that you're on my mind? Don't suppose we could convince your lover to change his mind So goodbye She said, "It's not now or never Wait ten years, we'll be together" I said, "Better late than never Just don't make me wait forever" Don't make me wait forever Don't make me wait forever Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side? I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind I was doing fine without ya 'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase Giving in to all his bullshit Is this what you want? Is this who you are? I was doing fine without ya 'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line" Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line" Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"
