The Girls
Calvin Harris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like them black girls, I like them white girls
I like them Asian girls, I like them mix-raced girls
I like them Spanish girls, I like them Italian girls
I like the French girls and I like Scandinavian girls

I like them tall girls, I like them short girls
I like them brown haired girls, I like them blonde haired girls
I like them big girls, I like them skinny girls
I like them carrying a little-bitty weight girls

Now baby, I've got a lot of love to give
And I've been over-oversubscribed with relationships
See you've got a little thing I haven't seen before
But I must warn ya that I can't help but play around for sure
For sure because

I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls

I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls

Now maybe I can learn to settle down one day
But right now I'm livin' life to mess around and play
See you've got a little thing I haven't seen before
But I must warn ya that I can't help but play around for sure
I did it before

I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls

I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls

I like them black girls, I like them white girls
I like them Asian girls, I like them mix-raced girls
I like them Spanish girls, I like them Italian girls
I like the French girls and I like Scandinavian girls

I like them tall girls, I like them short girls
I like them brown haired girls, I like them blonde haired girls
I like them big girls, I like them skinny girls
I like them carrying a little-bitty weight girls

I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls

I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls




I get all the girls, I get all the girls
I get all the girls, I get all the girls

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Calvin Harris's song "The Girls" express his attraction to women of different races, heights, hair colors, and body types. He boasts about his ability to attract all types of girls and warns his love interest that he might not be ready to settle down. The song's repetitive chorus reinforces the idea that he can get any girl he wants.


Some listeners might find the lyrics problematic because they objectify women and reduce them to physical attributes. However, others might argue that Harris is celebrating diversity and promoting body positivity, as he doesn't discriminate based on race or body type. The ambiguity of the song's message leaves room for interpretation.


The song's upbeat and catchy melody contrasts with the controversial subject matter, creating a party anthem that might appeal to a wide audience. In a way, Harris is using music as a vehicle to express his sexual preferences and explore his identity as a young man in the music industry.

The early songs of Calvin are his best. They carry his signature more boldly than the ones where he has partnered with 'pop' and 'hip hop' artists. Songs like this are pure Calvin Harris!

James Leonard

I agree.
