Apple Jam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello little girl
Hello little girl
When I see you everyday
I say, "Mm mm hello little girl"
When you're passing on your way
I say, "Mm mm hello little girl"
I cry, "Mm mm hello little girl"
When I try to catch your eye
I cry, "Mm mm hello little girl"
I send you flowers but you don't care
You never seem to see me standing there
I often wonder what you're thinking of
I hope it's me and love love love
So I hope there'll come a day
When you'll say, "Mm you're my little girl"
It's not the first time that it's happened to me,
It's been a long lonely time
And it's funny funny to see that I'm about to lose my mind mind mind
So I hope there'll come a day
When you say, "Mm mm
You're my little girl, mm mm mm
You're my little girl, mm mm mm"
You're my little girl, oh yeah
You're my little girl
Do do do do do
In Apple Jam's song "Hello Little Girl," the singer expresses his infatuation with a girl whom he sees every day. He greets her with a friendly "Hello little girl" whenever she passes by, and tries to catch her attention, but she seems unaware of his efforts. He sends her flowers, but she doesn't seem to care, which makes him wonder what she's thinking about. Despite his disappointment, he still hopes that one day she will reciprocate his feelings and call him her "little girl."
The song captures the struggles of unrequited love, where one person's feelings aren't reciprocated by the other person. The singer is left feeling helpless and vulnerable, trying to catch the attention of the object of his affection but failing to do so. It's a relatable theme that many people might have experienced at some point in their lives. The lyrics are simple yet poignant, with the repetition of the phrase "hello little girl" emphasizing the singer's obsession with the girl.
Interestingly, "Hello Little Girl" was originally written and recorded by John Lennon in 1962, when he was still a member of The Beatles. Lennon composed the song for the band's early recordings, and it was eventually released in 1995 on the anthology album "Anthology 1." Apple Jam's cover of the song came later, in 1970, when the band was formed by Lennon's former bandmate, George Harrison. The band's version of the song features a different arrangement and vocal performance, but it still retains the catchy melody and lyrics of the original.
