Gummi Bear is an emotional track about how the narrator feels as if the only way to be looked at as “cool” and make people laugh was if he succumbed to the peer pressure and did edibles with this group of “friends” despite him stating earlier in the song that he has a strict household.
[Intro]
One, two, one, two, three
[Verse 1]
All the faces in the palm trees
Say they're better off without me
Now I'm cryin' on the sidewalk
But at least I'm out of the street, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I was a little kid in a lonely house
I let my mom and absent dad make all the rules
Took a little trip, sugar in my mouth
Guess I wanted you to say that I was cool, ooh
[Chorus]
But I'm always a bad time, I'm not always a bad time, am I, babe?
I don't even know why, but I'm always a bad time, am I?
Just one little gummy bear, little gummy bear
Little gummy bear
[Verse 2]
Patterns repeating, now somebody's bleeding
The palm trees are sayin' I should've stayed home, oh
Patterns repeating, my father is leaving my mother
Will I do the same when I grow old?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I only wanted to have some fun with you
I didn't think it would be so hard to prove
That I could chill, laugh and smile and make it look easy
Like all the other valley boys do
'Cause all the other valley boys do for you
[Chorus]
But I'm always a bad time, I'm not always a bad time, am I? Yeah
I don't even know why, but I'm always a bad time, am I?
Just one little gummy bear, little gummy bear
Little gummy bear
Little gummy bear
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ah (Bear)
