Other Chicks
Ciara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I respect that, but you gotta admit
There's something between us
Everything I want, you got it
And I must admit that I'm excited
That girl ain't right for you
See I'm the type for you
So let a girl be down and come and get with me
No time to play around, cause I'm for real baby
I'm feelin' everything you do
You know that you're feelin' this too
So let's keep it real
Cause I don't
[Chorus]
I don't care about them other chicks
I want to be the one, only one that can get close to you
So forget about them other chicks
Cause they ain't gonna do, all the things I'ma do for you
I don't care who you dealing with
Just let 'em know that you found a girl, gon' be down for you
So forget about them other chicks
Just forget about them other chicks
By the days when the song used to make you say
Oh (oh), that's what you do to me
I'm feelin' you so much, I just can't let go
Baby see, I'm daydreaming 'bout your love everyday
And I must say, that it's on and it's crazy
So let a girl be down and come and get with me
No time to play around, cause I'm for real baby
I'm feelin' everything you do
You know that you're feelin' this too
So let's, keep it real, keep it real
[Chorus]
Boy, you got me trippin', cause I don't want to ooh, ooh, ooh
Nothing I think about you, me without you, just ain't gon' do
Want to be, want to be your girl
You should get with me, not her
Gotta roll wit me, come on and help me sing my song
Ready, ready, ready to get it poppin', no stoppin', so let me know
Is this what you want
Ready, ready, ready to get it poppin'
I bet we can make it hot, so baby come on
(I don't care, baby come on)
[Chorus: x2]
Ciara's "Other Chicks" is a song about a woman who is interested in a man who is already in a relationship with someone else.

The woman desires to be the one and only person in the man's life and is willing to do whatever it takes to win his affections.
The song's chorus keeps the message clear throughout the track. Ciara repeats that she does not care about the other women pursuing this man because she is the one he truly needs. She is confident in her abilities to make him happy and fully commits herself to the relationship that she desires. The bridge of the song adds even more urgency to the situation, with Ciara admitting that she cannot stop thinking about this man and wants to be with him immediately.
Despite its controversial lyrics, Other Chicks was well-received by listeners for its catchy melody and danceable beat. Though the song was never officially released as a single, it gained popularity through word of mouth and was featured in several television shows and movies.

By the days when the song used to make you say
I reminisce about the times when this song used to have a special meaning for us
Oh (oh), that's what you do to me
You have a strong effect on me
I'm feelin' you so much, I just can't let go
I am deeply attracted to you and cannot get you out of my head
Baby see, I'm daydreaming 'bout your love everyday
I think about being with you all the time
And I must say, that it's on and it's crazy
Our attraction towards each other is intense and passionate
Boy, you got me trippin', cause I don't want to ooh, ooh, ooh
You have me feeling euphoric and happy, and I do not want to let that go
Nothing I think about you, me without you, just ain't gon' do
The thought of not being with you is unacceptable to me
Want to be, want to be your girl
I want to be your girlfriend and be with you
You should get with me, not her
You should choose me over the other woman
Gotta roll wit me, come on and help me sing my song
Join me on this journey and be my partner in life
