Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't wanna feel alone anymore
All I wanna do is to please you
But I don't know what life has in store
So I hold you when I wake in the morning
And I kiss you when I walk out the door
Who'd a thought that you'd be so important
Who'd a thought you might make me want more
Me, I been hurting
With no purpose
Need me a person
But I'm nervous
Me, I been hurting
With no purpose
Need me a person
But I'm nervous
You're calling me
Tryna hear through cacophony
Tryna stay sane but faltering
Tryna keep demons off of me
Ease my wrist and use both hands
Can't lose my grip might snap again
And I don't want you to see that, yeah
With a smile on your face you know I can't feel bad
I'ma go pay just show me where the bill at
Slide to the place where I sleep at, yeah
Girl I fuck with you, I don't play, that's a real fact
I'ma go tell you and you say how I feel back
We make love girl believe that
Sleep was a burden
So we turned up
Heat in a furnace
We gon' burn up
Sleep was a burden
So we turned up
Heat in a furnace
We gon' burn up
No I don't wanna feel like I need you
But I don't wanna feel alone anymore
All I wanna do is to please you
But I don't know what life has in store
So I hold you when I wake in the morning
And I kiss you when I walk out the door
Who'd a thought that you'd be so iamportant
Who'd a thought you might make me want more
Me, I been hurting
With no purpose
Need me a person
But I'm nervous
Me, I been hurting
With no purpose
Need me a person
But I'm nervous
In A-Lee's song "Girlfriend," the lyrics express a complex mix of emotions and desires. The singer begins by stating that they do not want to feel dependent on someone else, yet also do not want to feel alone anymore. The contradiction highlights their struggle with their own vulnerability and desire for companionship. They express the willingness to please their partner, but at the same time, acknowledge the uncertainty of life and what it holds for them.
The next set of lyrics reveals the singer's inner turmoil and pain. They have been hurting and feeling lost, lacking a sense of purpose. They yearn for someone to be there for them, to help ease their emotional burden. The mention of "drowning out the cacophony" suggests that they are trying to find solace amid the chaos and noise of life. However, they also fear exposing their vulnerabilities and potential self-destructive tendencies to their partner. They do not want their partner to see them in a state of despair, preferring to put on a facade of happiness to avoid burdening them.
In the chorus, the singer emphasizes their desire to be with their significant other, acknowledging that they don't want to feel alone anymore. They express the importance and impact that this person has had on their life, surprising them with their significance. The repetition of the lines "Me, I been hurting, with no purpose" and "Need me a person, but I'm nervous" further underscores their longing for connection, yet the fear and anxiety they feel about opening up to someone.
Overall, "Girlfriend" explores the complexities of human relationships, vulnerability, and the struggle to balance emotional needs with the fear of being hurt or dependent. It delves into the internal battle between wanting connection and fearing the potential consequences that come with it.
