She Said
The Pharcyde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess everybody needs somebody to love you can't
Keep love lonely 'cause being naive to it you can just
Lose it like that see kisses for bruises don't make it
Heal back it be's the sex appeal that's from the next
And not necessarily the sex and one might appeal to
The intellect having a greater affect on how they feelin'
Stimulation breaking down their shields for the real and
As it stands mysteriously curiosity it kills the cat and
Offsets them mentally so they're trapped in behind
These fantasies with no action searching for a remedy
Now she loves her man but there is just a different type
Of chemistry that flairs when her desires on fire quick
Is the fuse another loves for hire

And she said
It'll be good if you stayed with me tonight
So I granted her wish
And she said
It'll be good if you stayed with me tonight
So I granted her wish

I was high like the vocal tone of my nigga Bootie Brown
Decided to take a ride to see what's really going down
Up on the North side of town
Of course I bought a quarter pound
Of bomb hemp, feeling alright like Johnny Kemp
On a Friday night
Looking right 'cause my shit is tight
Blazing blunts to city lights on Sunset and Crescent Heights
Bounce to the House of Blues then I slid in free
With tennis shoes, sweatshirt, jeans, and no ID
Soon as I step inside the plizace I recognize the fizace
Of an epp with an iz-ass more amazing than grace
So I waste no time to kick my line
I say, "How ya doing?" She says, "Hey I'm doin' fine"
So I commence to macking to baby to see what's cracking
So maybe I get her back at the cabin and start attacking
Threw back a shot of yack and started jabbering
Jibbing, fibbin', and ad libbing just to get her to my crib then
We was chilling on the bed, bumping some Isley
Thought I was about to spread the thighs but she surprised me
When she said, "Oh like that? You know I don't get down"
I know my homies gonna clown cause I let her stick around when

And she said
It'll be good if you stayed with me tonight
So I granted her wish

Now Daddy's home
But she's been waitin all night so we could be all alone
This is an everyday thing so we hang out by the phone
Trying to build something real, working fingertips to the bone
So much love's gone astray that it won't be coming home
No time soon
So I dance with the silhouette beneath the moon
And she said, if satisfaction's guaranteed
Nothing else could come between the flight of a new love baby
Maybe we could be cool
Instead of sharing this here ship with the fools
You know that, right now, right now, right now, baby
Right now, right now, right now, baby
And she said
I'll give you the world if you want it
I'll give you the world if you need it baby, ya gots to have it (we can get it on)
And she said
You know that she said
And she said, and she said, and she said, and she said, and she said
yeah I give you the world if you want it, I give you the world if you need it baby
I give you the world if you want it, yeah

Overall Meaning

It begins with the realization that everyone needs someone to love and that love should not be kept lonely. The lyrics caution against naivety in love, as it can lead to losing it quickly. Using the analogy of kisses for bruises not being enough to heal them, the song suggests that it's the sex appeal that can keep the relationship going. It's not only about physical attraction, but also about intellectual appeal and stimulation that can break down the shields for real feelings.


The next set of lyrics describes a night of smoking weed, going to a club, and meeting a girl.

The singer tries to impress her, but when he goes to make a move, she surprises him by rejecting him. The song ends with the girl offering the world to the singer if he wants it or needs it.


Overall, the song explores the challenges of relationships, the importance of intellectual stimulation and sex appeal, and the risks of putting one's heart on the line.
