Nookie Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The lead single off Significant Other, “Nookie” is the band’s first big hit, reaching the top 10 on the Rock and Alternative charts and crossing over to pop at #80 on the Hot 100. It was also a top 40 hit in Australia and The Netherlands.

In “Nookie”, Fred Durst is complaining about a bad relationship. He told MTV:

It’s about my ex-girlfriend, how she treated me like shit, and I couldn’t leave her, wouldn’t get over it. She screwed my friends and used me for my money. I tried to figure out why I did it, and I figured I did it all for the nookie.

According to Urban Dictionary, nookie is defined as:

Something you get from someone that is sexual or loving in nature. This word is slang for an action, not a body part. (sugar, action, hooking up, kissing, hugging, sexual activity, etc…).
