Wow
3rdEyeGirl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello, How are you?
You're looking so fine
No, it's true
Remember the time we first met?
You think that was good? You ain't seen nothin' yet

Like a bee to some honey
A moth to a flame
You got an addiction and you got me to blame
You never saw it comin' 'cause I made no claims 'til now
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it wow
You can call it call it wow
You can call it call it call it wow
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it

Sorry, I don't know
What came over me
The cycle of the moon affects the motion of the see what you did
It's starting all over again
We both want it now more than we did back then

Like a bee to some honey
A moth to a flame
You got an addiction and you got me to blame
You never saw it comin' 'cause I made no claims 'til now
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it wow
You can call it call it wow
You can call it call it call it wow
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it call it

Give me a minute
Let me get myself together
I'm never really out of control
Really, I'm so much better
Maybe it's your eyes, your stare, lookin' like lookin' like you wanna go somewhere
You wanna go somewhere?
Somethin' 'bout the wild in me, it's never tame
I think we're both alike, this is how we became

Like a bee to some honey
A moth to a flame
You got an addiction and you got me to blame.
You never saw it comin' 'cause I made no claims 'til now
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it wow
You can call it call it wow
You can call it call it call it wow
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it call it call it!





You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it call it call it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 3rdEyeGirl's "WOW" portray the experience of feeling captivated by someone's beauty and charm, and the intense attraction that follows. The singer is enchanted by the person in question, and describes the feeling as being like a "bee to some honey" or a "moth to a flame." They seem to be in thrall to this person, stating that they have an "addiction" and that they themselves are to blame for it. The song suggests that this attraction may have been unexpected, as the singer "made no claims 'til now," but that it is undeniable and intense nonetheless.


The second verse of the song begins in a slightly more conflicted tone, with the singer admitting confusion over their own behavior. They reference the "cycle of the moon" and suggest that external circumstances may be influencing their actions, but they also imply that this kind of intense attraction has happened before: "It's starting all over again / We both want it now more than we did back then." The song's bridge suggests that the intensity of the attraction is mutual, and that the other person is just as caught up in the spell as the singer is. They ask, "maybe it's your eyes, your stare, lookin' like you wanna go somewhere / You wanna go somewhere?" before concluding that they both have a wildness within them that leads them to this kind of intense attraction.
