She Told Me
Antony Costa/Blue/Duncan James/Lee Ryan/Simon Webbe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She had a mind of her own - 5 foot 8 or more,
She was a real wild child and nothing could hold her back,
She was my sister´s best friend so now you know where it´s at.
She´s always been around,
Me and her were always down,
Right in front of me,
She was always hangin' out,
Me and her we talked about everything
I never knew - she told me.
CHORUS
If you like my style - come on,
If you need a ride - come on,
Compatible starsign - come on,
That´s what she told me.
If you like my style - come on,
If you need a ride - come on,
Compatible starsign - come on,
She told me.
It was one of those times way back in the day,
She was at my door with a smile across her face,
I said "My sister ain´t home - she´s gone out for a while,"
She said "That´s cool with me that´s the reason I came by,"
She's always been around,
Me and her were always down,
Right in front of me,
How could I be too blind to see?
She always hangin' out,
Me her we talked about everything
I never knew she told me.
Chorus
Sing na na na na na - na na na na
Chorus
In this song, the singer talks about a girl who was his sister's best friend. He describes her as someone who was more than just physically beautiful but also had a "mind of her own." She was a wild child who couldn't be held back by anything. The singer reveals that even though this girl was always around and they talked about everything, he never saw her in a romantic light. He was too blind to see that she was interested in him.
In one instance, the girl came over to the singer's house when his sister wasn't home. He initially turns her away but she tells him that she came over to see him. The singer realizes too late that he has missed an opportunity to be with her. He sings about her being a compatible starsign and how she had told him that if he liked her style or needed a ride, he should come to her.
The song captures the feeling of missed opportunities and the regret that comes with them. The singer realizes how he took this girl for granted and wishes he could go back and change things. The chorus repeats the girl's invitation to him to come to her if he likes her style or needed a ride.
