Young Girls
Bruno Mars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I spent all my money on a big old fancy car
For these bright-eyed hunnies
Oh, yeah, you know who you are
Keep me up 'til the sun is high
'Til the birds start calling my name
I'm addicted and I don't know why
Guess I've always been this way

All these roads steer me wrong
But I still drive them all night long, all night long

All you young wild girls
You make a mess of me
Yeah, you young wild girls
You'll be the death of me, the death of me
All you young wild girls
No matter what you do (No matter what you do)
Yeah, you young wild girls
I always come back to you, come back to you

I get lost under these lights
I get lost in the words I say
Start believing my own lies
Like everything will be okay
Oh, I still dream of simple life
Boy meets girl, makes her his wife
But love don't exist
When you live like this
That much I know, yes I know

All these roads steer me wrong
But I still drive them all night long, all night long

All you young wild girls
You make a mess of me
Yeah, you young wild girls
You'll be the death of me, the death of me
All you young wild girls
No matter what you do (No matter what you do)
Yeah, you young wild girls
I always come back to you, come back to you

You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
Yeah, you, you, you
You, you, you, you

All you young wild girls
You make a mess of me
Yeah, you young wild girls
You'll be the death of me, the death of me
All you young wild girls
No matter what you do (No matter what you do)
Yeah, you young wild girls
I always come back to you, come back to you

Overall Meaning

The song "Young Girls" by Bruno Mars is about his addiction to the thrill of young, wild girls that he can't resist. Mars sings about spending all his money on a big fancy car, hoping to impress these young girls. He knows that they make a mess of him and will ultimately be the death of him, but he always comes back to them because he's addicted to the excitement they bring into his life. Mars acknowledges that love isn't possible when living this wild lifestyle, even though he dreams of a simple life where he can fall in love and settle down.


Through the lyrics, Mars explores the idea of the wild, youthful energy that is alluring yet dangerous. He is aware of the risks and the consequences of his actions, but he is drawn to this lifestyle, unable to resist the pull. Mars continues to drive down the wrong roads and believes his lies about everything being okay, just like he believes that love is possible in this lifestyle.


Overall, "Young Girls" is a song about the destructive power of youth, impulsivity, and addiction. It is a cautionary tale that warns about the dangers of chasing after fleeting pleasure and the importance of searching for true love and stability.


Line by Line Meaning

I spent all my money on a big old fancy car
I used up all my wealth to show off to these attractive girls


For these bright-eyed hunnies
For these innocent-looking and charming women


Oh, yeah, you know who you are
These girls know exactly what I am talking about


Keep me up 'til the sun is high
These girls keep me awake till sunrise


'Til the birds start calling my name
Until nature reminds me of the consequences of my actions


I'm addicted and I don't know why
I am unable to break free from my craving for these girls


Guess I've always been this way
I have always had a weakness for the charms of young girls


All these roads steer me wrong
All these paths are leading me astray


But I still drive them all night long, all night long
But I still can't resist their temptation even if it leads me to a dark path


All you young wild girls
All you carefree and adventurous young ladies


You make a mess of me
You have a disorienting effect on me


You'll be the death of me, the death of me
Your influence on me may eventually lead to my ruin


No matter what you do (No matter what you do)
Regardless of how you act or what you do


I always come back to you, come back to you
I am always drawn back to your allure


I get lost under these lights
I lose myself in the allure of the party life


I get lost in the words I say
I become entranced by my own words and lies


Start believing my own lies
I begin to trust my own deceitful and fanciful fantasies


Like everything will be okay
As if there are no consequences or risks to the lifestyle I am living


Oh, I still dream of simple life
I still long for a less complicated and less risky lifestyle


Boy meets girl, makes her his wife
I envision a traditional romance and settling down with a partner


But love don't exist
But in the lifestyle I live, true love is hard to find or doesn't exist


When you live like this
When you live in a reckless, impulsive and self-indulgent manner


That much I know, yes I know
I am aware of the consequences of my lifestyle, but it is hard to break free


You, you, you, you
Referring to the young girls he admires


Yeah, you, you, you, you
Emphasizing his attraction to the young girls


All you young wild girls
All you free-spirited and adventurous young ladies


You make a mess of me
You throw me off balance and have a disorienting effect on me


Yeah, you young wild girls
Affirming his attraction to the young girls


You'll be the death of me, the death of me
Acknowledging that this lifestyle may eventually lead to his ruin


No matter what you do (No matter what you do)
Regardless of how you behave or act


Yeah, you young wild girls
Emphasizing his attraction to the young girls


I always come back to you, come back to you
I am always drawn back to the young girls' alluring presence

Bought a big, old fancy car

Guess I've always been this way

That much, I know, yes, I know

Bruno Mars music is so versatile. I don't think people should dislike 24k Magic or "want the old Bruno back", because there is no one Bruno Mars "sound", this song is his sound, Treasure is his sound, 24k Magic is his sound, Runaway Baby is his sound, If I Knew is his sound. I just wanna shake hands with all the people who make his music, producers, songwriters, thanks for keeping the music real.

@4iq865

I like most of Bruno’s songs but my least favorite is 24k magic but I have no idea what u mean that is his "sound"

@rxldhdm1233

@@4iq865 it means all his music sounds different from each other. It's unique. He is a genius.

@rxldhdm1233

Agree with you Jack King
