I like it, but not only is it inappropriate, it's disrespectful. However, this song has a good beat and is VERY catchy, just keep away from younger children, unless you get the clean version which, of course, still has parts going over children's heads, but you may be a little shocked. Pre-listen, maybe, or don't let them listen at all. Then make a decision.

What Parents Need to Know
About "Don't Trust Me" (CD single)
Parents need to know that this track earns its parental advisory label, with the group giving a pretty caustic account of a guy who's upset that his girl refuses his desires. The edited version of the song isn't much different, simply bleeping out f--k but retaining all the references to hos, cigarettes, and the like.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the impact that lyrics may have in the real world. Does hearing a male artist refer to a girl in his song as a "ho" make fans of the tune feel they can do the same in their own lives? On the flip side, are artists who advocate mutual respect among people effectively encouraging similar attitudes in their fans? Learn how to decode music and lyrics.

GIVE US A BUHREAK!
Puh-leeze. Give 3OH!3 a buh-reak. You are being WAY too harsh... For one thing, he's not degrading women, he's degrading ONE woman, who's a horse minus the rse. He's saying don't trust her with your love, because she'll ditch you in the end. That's one interpretation- the other is that he's saying he's a horse minus the rse, a player, so don't trust him. BTW, Helen Keller in this case just means talk with your hips like HK talks with her hands. It means dance, NAWT a stupid energy xylophone (read the first letters of each word) move. I'm sorry, you guys seem a little behind the times. You need someone new to write your reviews. If you're wondering why i spelled it out its cuz it won't let me say the Esss. Eeeee.. Xxxxx... word. CENSORSHIP! xoxo, MM

Personally, I love this song. It does not send out great messages but has a really fun beat. Me and my friends love it, but I can see why parents would be a bit concerned.

Maturity
It's a matter of maturity, i won't mention my age but I am younger than 15 and I like the song and know that my mom braught me up well enough to trust me not to say that word.
