Girl I'll Never Understand
Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a story of how it is

Lovin' every morning
Good loving every night
That is what I gave you,
And you were so satisfied
Dinner on the table
There were flowers in the bed
Anything you asked for
Was it all real or just in my head?

Think now, of what it should've been
Our love, all it could've been
If you were ever wondering
I'm doin' fine, but in my mind

I could never believe and never understand
How you could do this to me
Enough is enough, done all I can
Now you're gonna lose me
Throwing away our yesterdays
Everything we planned
Cause you're a girl, I'll never understand

How you feelin now?
Are you happy now?
I'm doing just fine

Covered you in diamonds
Gave you summer in the sun
And at that moment I had only just begun
Got you the designers
From every magazine
Baby if I'd known then
All this pain inside would never be

Girl, you are a mystery
So glad, that we're history
Guess we were never meant to be
And I'm doin' fine, but in my mind

I could never believe and never understand
How you could do this to me
Enough is enough, done all I can
Now you're gonna lose me
Throwing away our yesterdays
Everything we planned
Cause you're a girl, I'll never understand

Are you happy now baby?
That we're history
Yeah, yeah

Think now, of what it should've been
Our love, all it could've been
If you were ever wondering
I'm doin' fine, but in my mind

I'm just throwing away our yesterdays
Giving it up on the plans we made
Enough is enough, done all I can
This girl I'll never understand
I could never believe, never understand
How you could do this to me
Enough is enough, done all I can
Now you're gonna lose me
Throwing away our yesterday's




Everything we planned
Cause you're a girl, I'll never understand

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blue’s song “Girl I’ll Never Understand” chronicle a relationship that is imploding. The singer states that he provided his partner with everything she needed – good loving every morning and every night, dinner on the table, and flowers in the bed. However, he is left wondering whether this was all real or just in his head. He imagines what their love could have been and how it should have been, but he cannot understand how his partner could do what she did to him. He has reached his limit and is ready to throw away their yesterdays, all their plans, and their relationship. The chorus contains the repeated phrase “cause you’re a girl I’ll never understand.”


The song seems to be about a man who is coming to terms with the end of a relationship. He is realizing that maybe he never really knew the person he was with, and he feels betrayed and hurt by their actions. The tone of the song is bitter, as he has clearly been hurt and is expressing his dissatisfaction with the way things have turned out. He is also talking about how he feels better now, which makes it seem like he has some sense of closure and is starting to heal from the pain he has experienced.
