A Guy with a Girl
Blake Shelton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or the guy with the guitar singing on a country track
I might be the guy with an ice cold can, stirring up dust on some old farmland
When I walk into the party with you girl, you change all that
I'm just the guy with the girl everybody wants to know
Wishin' you were there alone
Wonderin' how I ever got your little hand in mine
I'm invisible but I stand right there and smile
You're right beside me, oh and I see the same thing they're seein'
But I don't mind being the guy with the girl, no
It's funny watchin' 'em do the way they do
They come walkin' up to me but they only wanna talk to you
And I don't blame 'em that they're hypnotized
They keep staring at your heartbreak eyes
It's like their heart starts stoppin' when you come walkin' into the room
And I turn into the guy with the girl everybody wants to know
Wishin' you were there alone
Wonderin' how I ever got your little hand in mine
Lookin' over at ya like "ain't she beautiful?"
I'm invisible but I stand right there and smile
You're right beside me, oh and I see the same thing they're seein'
But I don't mind being the guy with the girl
The guy that don't know how he got her
But he ain't never gonna let her, never gonna let her go
Woah-oh, yeah
I'm just the guy with the girl everybody wants to know
Wishin' you were there alone
Wonderin' how I ever got your little hand in mine
Lookin' over at ya like "ain't she beautiful?"
I'm invisible but I stand right there and smile
You're right beside me, oh and I see the same thing they're seein'
But I don't mind being the guy with the girl
(Guy with the girl)
No, I don't mind being the guy with the girl
(Guy with the girl)
Yeah, I'm just the guy with the girl
I'm always the guy with the girl
I don't mind it, baby
I don't mind it, baby
I'm always the guy with the girl
In Blake Shelton's song "A Guy With a Girl," the lyrics describe a relationship where the singer is always in the shadow of his partner. At different times, he may be "the guy with the boys" or "the guy with the guitar," but when he's with his girlfriend, he becomes "the guy with the girl everybody wants to know." He describes how people come up to him and try to talk to him, but they're really just using him as a bridge to get to his girlfriend. Even though he's invisible and standing to the side, he doesn't mind being in this position because he's proud to be with his girl, who he thinks is beautiful.
The song speaks to the idea that sometimes in a relationship, one partner may feel like they're not getting as much attention or recognition as the other. In this case, the singer is happy to take a backseat to his girlfriend's beauty and popularity. The song also highlights the power of attraction and how it can hypnotize people to the point where they can't take their eyes off of someone.

Great song. Good choice for the new single. Of course it relates to how Blake feels about Gwen. Everyone does stare at Gwen when they meet her because she is beautiful. Inside and outside.
