Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was younger, I never went too far
Held my feelings, I never even wanted to start
Til when I met you, I didn't know
What you were gonna do with my heart
When you talk. I hang on every word you say
When you move, you're like the breeze on a summer day
When you smile, the sky turns from gray to blue
That's what you do
And you're the kind of girl I think of
And you're the kind of girl I dream about
My heart is telling me I need you in my world
In my world
Cause you're my kind of lady
You're my kind of girl
When I'm not with you, wherever you are
Baby,I'm counting the moments til I'm back in your arms
All I want is to have you here with me every night, every day
When you talk, I hang on every word you say
When you move, you're like the breeze on a summer day
When you smile, the sky turns from gray to blue
That's what you do
And you're the kind of girl I think of
And you're the kind of girl I dream about
My heart is telling me I need you in my world
My world
Cause you're my kind of lady
You're my kind of girl
Baby girl, I need you here by my side
And If you're there everything will be alright
Cause this is the time for us (This is the time)
Baby, be mine! (Baby be mine)
And you're the kind of girl I think of (I think about)
And you're the kind of girl I dream about (The kind of girl I dream about
My heart is telling me I need you in my world
Cause you're my kind of lady
You're my kind of girl
My kind of girl
My kind of girl
My kind of girl (repeat)
The lyrics of Brian McKnight's "My Kinda Girl" featuring Justin Timberlake is a love song that expresses the singer's feelings towards the kind of girl he has been searching for. Starting with his younger days, Brian McKnight claims that he never let his feelings out or started a relationship. However, when he met the girl he's singing about, his heart was taken without him even realizing it. He admires everything about her - the way she talks, moves, and smiles. He regards her as the type of girl he thinks about and dreams of always having by his side. Brian expresses his desire to have her close to him always and throughout his waking moments.
The chorus repeatedly affirms that the girl in question is Brian's kind of lady and has everything he desires in a partner. Although they spend time apart, Brian calls on her to stay close to him as everything is alright when she's around. He pleads with her to be his and promising that the time is right for them to be together.
In all, the song portrays the singer's love almost like a plea to which he needs the girl's reciprocation, and he seems to be assuring the love of the good times they will share while entangled in each other's arms.
