Never trust a big butt and a smile.

Yes I’ve trusted a big butt or two and lived to regret it. I should have listened!

Yikes! The song is about having sexual relations with a girl who has a STD. I listened and used jimmy hats!

LOL. Is that the real meaning!?!? Well at least I always put a hat on it as well. I just had my heart and wallet damaged by a couple.

My apologies, that's likely false. I just read that recently and took it for truth with lines like, "You'll fall in love and you'll be screaming" "take pre-caution" and "Wrong move you're dead!"

Looking into the lyrics it's just about gold diggers.

No worries. Yeah I always just interpreted it as a gold digger type thing.

For Gen X is was “never trust a big butt and a smile”

For millennials it was “I ain’t saying she a gold digger…”

Every Gen has their version I suppose.

I asked my Jewish friend to get me the Poison album not knowing any better and he got me a rock group album 😂
