Baby Genius Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so long together they've been acting like someone
who is carefree sure at all
gossip and style
boyfriends fade away
they think they don't need anybody to be there
especially no male
spices are gone 2001
remind yourself of what's going on
there's no reason
to be stupid
to be someone else
acting is wrong
cool yourself down
remind yourself of what's going on
there is no reason for
partying on
shaking all night long
but you desire getting asked by your boyfriend
for a lovely stay at home
you don't wanna tell
scared of silly rules
and then you are making jokes
of someone else's boyfriend
going home confused
In the first verse of Baby Genius's song "Girls," the lyrics describe girls who lack self-confidence and feel the need to act carefree and sure of themselves. They try to hide their insecurities and to appear as if they don't need anyone, especially male attention. The second verse conveys that these girls prioritize their gossip and style over their relationships, and their boyfriends come and go. The spices being "gone 2001" can be interpreted as a reference to the concept of "spicing up" a relationship, and the lyrics suggest that the girls have lost that spark. The chorus advises these girls to cool down and stop pretending to be someone else, as acting is wrong. They should remind themselves of what's important and avoid being stupid. The third verse highlights their desire for a loving relationship and staying at home instead of partying, yet they are scared of silly rules and make fun of others to hide their confusion.
