Girl Watching
T-Connection Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And that's so fine
The way they move and the way they groove
I'm telling you
You'll blow your mind
I hang around my all day long,
Got nothing to do
I spend so much of my time
Checking out a few
They're driving me crazy,
Watching all those girls go by,
And I don't mean may be,
Watching all those girls go by.
Walking down the palm beach in the summer heat,
Turn my town(?)
When all at once, suddenly, the ladies caught my eyes
I'm gonna stay all day long
So much to see,
Heading to moving along
It's like I'm in a dream
They're driving me crazy
Watching all those girls go by
And I don't mean may be
Watching all those girls go by
It's driving me crazy,
Watching all those girls go by
And I don't mean maybe,
Watching all those girls go by
It's driving me crazy,
Watching all those girls go by
And I don't mean maybe,
Watching all those girls go by
Watching all those girls go by
(T. Coakley)
The T-Connection's classic hit "Girl Watching" is all about the singer's obsession with watching girls on the street. The song begins with the singer walking down 8th street, admiring the way the girls move and groove. He is so mesmerized that he claims that watching them will blow your mind. The singer is so hooked to this activity that he spends most of his time checking out a few girls. He sounds exasperated when he sings the line "They're driving me crazy, watching all those girls go by" because he can't seem to get enough of it.
The second verse describes the singer walking down Palm Beach on a hot summer day when all of a sudden, he sees a group of ladies and is immediately transfixed. He decides to stay there all day long and take in the sights. The bridge of the song repeats the same lines, highlighting the singer's fascination with the opposite sex. The song ends with the singer repeating the same chorus line about watching those girls go by.
In a sense, "Girl Watching" is a catchy ode to the simple joys of people watching. It’s a light-hearted song about finding pleasure in observing others. The track is unique because it has a surprisingly upbeat tempo with catchy hooks and harmonies, despite its testosterone-driven topic. The song also has a catchy guitar riff that is sure to grab any listener's attention.
