It Girl
2. Jason Derulo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been looking under rocks and breaking locks
Just tryna find ya
I've been like a manic insomniac
Five steps behind ya
Tell them other girls, they can hit the exit
Check please
Cause I finally found the girl of my dreams
Much more than a Grammy award
That's how much you mean to me

You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shit girl
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This is it girl
Give me twenty five to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like, oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like, oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud

You can't help but turn them heads
Knockin' them dead
Dropping like flies around you
If I get your body close not letting go
Hoping you're about to
Tell them other guys they can lose your number
You're done!
They don't get another shot cause you're love drunk
Like a TV show playing reruns
Every chance I get
I'ma turn you on

You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shit girl
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This is it girl
Give me twenty five to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud

Can't seem to stop you from, running, running
Through my, through my mind, mind
Just keep it coming, coming
Til I make you mine, mine
You've got that something, something
I wanna be with girl
You're my greatest hit girl
Just say this is it girl
Hey baby
Don't you know you're my it girl

You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shit girl
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This is it girl
Give me twenty five to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like, oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like, oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me hear you sing it like, oh oh oh oh




Everybody in the crowd let me hear you sing it like
This is it girl
