Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just another pretty face to see
He's all over town, knocking 'em down, yeah honey
And I'd never let him next to me
Well, he's the kind of guy who thinks he's smart
He's the type that always looks the part
He's on the make, he's on the take, yeah honey
He didn't mean to catch my eye
Well he's lucky he just walked on by
'Cause he hasn't met a girl like me
Are you kidding?
Well, I'd tell him that I'd rather die
He doesn't mean a thing to me
Just another pretty face to see
He's all over town, knocking 'em down, yeah honey
And I'd never let him next to me
Well, he's the kind of guy who thinks he's smart
He's the type that always looks the part
He's on the make, he's on the take, yeah honey
And I'd never let him touch my heart
He didn't mean to catch my eye
Well, he's lucky he just walked on by
'Cause he hasn't met a girl like me
Are you kidding?
Well, I'd tell him that I'd rather die
In Anousheh Khalili and Deep Dish's song "Flashdance," the singer is expressing her disinterest in a man who she views as just another superficial player. The man in question is described as all over town, knocking women down, and always on the make. Despite his efforts, the singer repeatedly asserts that she would never let him touch her heart. She sees him as a pretty face and little else, refusing to let him get close to her.
The singer's distaste for this man seems to stem from his arrogance and perceived lack of depth or substance. He thinks he's smart and always looks the part, but the singer sees through his facade. She declares that he hasn't met a girl like her, indicating that she feels she is different from the other women he pursues. She even goes so far as to say she'd rather die than let him get with her, emphasizing the level of her disinterest.
Overall, the lyrics of "Flashdance" convey a sense of empowerment and self-respect, with the singer refusing to let herself be played by a man who isn't worth her time.

He doesn't mean a thing to me
This man holds no emotional significance for me
Just another pretty face to see
He is merely aesthetically pleasing with no substance
He's all over town, knocking 'em down, yeah honey
He is going around town seducing women left and right
And I'd never let him next to me
I have no interest in being in close proximity to him
Well, he's the kind of guy who thinks he's smart
He is the type of man who believes he is intelligent
He's the type that always looks the part
He has the appearance of success and confidence
He's on the make, he's on the take, yeah honey
He is trying to exploit and take advantage of others
And I'd never let him touch my heart
I would never allow myself to fall for his charms
He didn't mean to catch my eye
I was not actively looking for him, he simply caught my attention
Well, he's lucky he just walked on by
He is fortunate that he did not approach me in person
'Cause he hasn't met a girl like me
He has not encountered someone like me before
Are you kidding?
There is no chance of me being interested in him
Well, I'd tell him that I'd rather die
I would rather die than be romantically involved with him
