Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
蒼いあなたの 視線がまぶしいわ
思わせぶりに 口びるぬらし
きっかけぐらいは こっちでつくってあげる
いわゆる普通の 17歳だわ
女の子のこと知らなすぎるのあなた
早熟なのは しかたないけど
じれったい じれったい
何歳に見えても 私 誰でも
じれったい じれったい
私は私よ 関係ないわ
特別じゃない どこにもいるわ
ワ・タ・シ 少女A
頬づえついて あなたを想えば
胸の高鳴り 耳が あぁ熱いわ
鏡に向かって 微笑みつくる
黄昏れ時は 少女を大人に変える
素肌と心は ひとつじゃないのね
ルージュの口びる かすかに震えてるわ
他人が言うほどドライじゃないの
本当は臆病 分ってほしいの あなた
じれったい じれったい
結婚するとか しないとかなら
じれったい じれったい
そんなのどうでも 関係ないわ
特別じゃない どこにもいるわ
ワ・タ・シ 少女A
じれったい じれったい
何歳に見えても 私 誰でも
じれったい じれったい
私は私よ 関係ないわ
特別じゃない どこにもいるわ
ワ・タ・シ 少女A

She acknowledges that he is mature for his age, but everyone goes through the same experiences. She finds it frustrating that he doesn't seem to notice her, and she just wishes he would understand her fears and insecurities.
The song then goes on to talk about how the young woman thinks of the man often and how her heart races at the thought of him. She mentions how when she smiles at herself in the mirror, it is to become more attractive to him. She also admits that she is not as cold and mature as others may think and that she is actually very afraid. She wishes the man would understand her feelings.
Overall, the song is about a young woman who is longing for the attention and understanding of an older man she admires. She wants him to see her as more than just a typical teenage girl and to understand her fears and insecurities.
