Notice
Cherish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I'll write him a notice
He lives on the fifth floor, I'm on the 1st floor
Whenever he comes down he hops in his 6'4
K-Ci and JoJo flows out of his window
And I can tell by what he drives he's a fly guy
In my mind he pulls off slow, I'm watching him

Don't know about twelve twenty-six
'Cause I'm in twelve twenty-six
I watch him as he comes home
And wonder why he's alone
If he only knew about the girl on level one

[Chorus]
I think I'll write him a notice, a notice
So he can notice that I'm trying to get his attention
If I write you a notice, a notice can you come on over?
And we get more better acquainted
I think I'll write him a notice, a notice
So he can notice that I'm trying to get his attention
And if I write you a notice, a notice can you come on over?
And P.S. don't forget my extension

I'm getting impatient and my time is wasting
Should I make the first move before he's taken?
Or maybe he's taken, oh, I can't take it
I just gotta know about the guy on the fifth floor
And I don't know what to do, I'm lost in my lust for you
We never met, it's true, but I feel like I know you

Can I get through?
Can I make you feel the same way about me as I do, bay?

[Chorus]

I think I notice everything just by watching you (Watching you)
Judging by your car, I think your favorite color's blue (Color's blue)
Same routine everyday, you hit the gym at two (Gym at two)
I think you'll feel the same once we're properly introduced (Introduced)
It's this face you make every time somethings wrong (Somethings wrong)
Before you go to bed you take two shots of Patron (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Every night you fall asleep with the T.V. on
I don't know why you're alone

[Chorus]

I think I'll write him a notice, a notice
So he can notice that I'm trying to get his attention




If I write you a notice, a notice can you come on over?
And we get more better acquainted

Overall Meaning

"Notice" by Cherish is a song about a woman's infatuation with a man who lives in her apartment building. She watches him from afar and details the things she has noticed about him: he lives on the fifth floor and drives a nice car, he listens to K-Ci and JoJo, and has a routine that she has memorized. The woman is becoming impatient and wants to make the first move, but is hesitant to reveal herself and potentially be rejected. She decides to write him a notice in hopes that he will come over and they can get to know each other better.


The lyrics capture the emotions of crushing on someone, the fear of rejection, and the excitement of potentially getting to know someone new. The repetition of the phrase "I think I'll write him a notice" emphasizes the woman's uncertainty and hesitation. The line "we never met, it's true, but I feel like I know you" speaks to the power of observation and the fantasy of imagining a relationship with someone without actually speaking to them.


Overall, "Notice" is a catchy and relatable song that captures the thrill and uncertainty of liking someone from afar.
