Senorita
. Justin Timberlake Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
Addressing the audience of the song

It's my pleasure to introduce to you
The singer is excited to present someone

He's a friend of mine
The singer knows and is close to the person being introduced

Yes, yes I am
The person being introduced confirms that he is the one being referred to

And he goes by the name Justin
The person being introduced is named Justin

All the way From Memphis, Tennessee
Justin is from Memphis, Tennessee

And he's got somethin' special for y'all tonight
Justin has a special performance for the audience

He's gonna sing a song for y'all About this girl
Justin will perform a song about a girl

On that sunny day Didn't know I'd meet Such a beautiful girl Walking down the street
Justin is telling a story about how he met a beautiful girl on a sunny day while walking down the street

Seen those bright brown eyes With tears coming down She deserves a crown But where is it now
The girl Justin met had tears in her eyes, but she deserves to be treated like royalty and Justin wonders why she isn't

Mamma listen
Justin is addressing his mother, asking her to listen to what he has to say

Senorita, I feel for you You deal with things, that you don't have to He doesn't love ya, I can tell by his charm But you could feel this real love If you just lay in my
Justin is telling the girl that he sympathizes with her and that she doesn't deserve to deal with difficult situations alone. He also senses that the person she's with doesn't truly care for her, but that he could offer her real love if she gave him a chance

Running fast in my mind Girl don't you slow it down If we carry on this way This thing might leave the ground How would you like to fly? That's how my queen should arrive But you still deserve the crown Or hasn't it been found?
Justin is thinking about what could happen if they took a chance on each other and urges the girl not to hesitate. He believes that if they go for it, they could soar to new heights. He also reiterates that the girl deserves to be treated like royalty

Ah, ah, arms (Won't you lay in my) Ah, ah, arms (Mama lay in my) Ah, ah, arms (Baby won't you lay in my) Ah, ah, arms
Justin is asking for the girl to lay in his arms, and even addresses his mother and baby in order to emphasize how important the moment is to him

When I look into your eyes I see something that money can't buy And I know if you give us a try I'll work hard for you girl And no longer will you ever have to cry
Justin sees something special in the girl that isn't based on material possessions. He believes that if they tried to be together, he would work hard to make her happy and take away any sadness she may have experienced before

Now listen I wanna try somethin' right now See they don't do this anymore I'm a sing something And I want the guys to sing wit' me They go "It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?" And then the ladies go "I don't know what I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you"
Justin wants to engage the audience and hear them sing along with him. He initiates a call-and-response section where men and women each sing different lines to create a fun interaction

Gentlemen, good night Ladies, good morning That's it
The song is ending and Justin is bidding the audience farewell for the night in a playful way
