That Girl Should Be Me
Cimorelli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey

We, we had plans tonight
But you cancelled on me for the third time

I'm stuck, thinking about you
I don't don't know what to do
Look what you're putting me through
You're putting me through

Then I see your car driving by my street
Who's that girl in your passenger seat
Yeah, yeah yeah

Tell me why can't you see, baby we're meant to be
Got your music up so loud, boy that you can't hear me

Now I'm walking down the street like it's a runway
I'm on a mission like double 0 7
Can't you see, you're with the wrong girl baby, baby

That girl should be me

Woah
I gotta make you see
Woah

That girl should be me

I, guess I'll just stop thinking about you
Woah, oh wait, that's impossible
I'm stuck, wishing I'm with you
I don't, don't know what to do
Say what, say what you want to
Say what you want to

Since I saw your, car driving by my street
Who's that girl in your passenger seat, yeah

Tell me why can't you see, baby we're meant to be
Got your music up so loud, boy that you can't hear me

Now I'm walking down the street like it's a runway
I'm on a mission like double 0 7
Can't you see, you're with the wrong girl baby, baby

That girl should be me

Woah
I gotta make you see
Woah

That girl should be me
I gotta make you see
I'm gonna make you see

Yeah, tell me why can't you see
Got your music up so loud (so loud)
That you can't hear me!

Woah, I gotta make you see
Woah, that girl should be me

Now I'm walking down the street like it's a runway
I'm on a mission like double 0 7
Can't you see, you're with the wrong girl baby, baby


That girl should be me

Woah, I gotta make you see
Woah, that girl should be me




Woah, that girl should be me
Woah, that girl should be me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cimorelli's song "That Girl Should Be Me" describe a girl who is disappointed and frustrated with her love interest because he keeps cancelling plans with her. She can't stop thinking about him and is stuck wishing she was with him. However, when she sees him driving by with another girl in the passenger seat, she realizes that he's with the wrong girl and that she should be the one with him. She's determined to make him see that they are meant to be together, even though he seems too busy with his music to notice her.


The chorus of the song, "That girl should be me," is a powerful and confident statement that reflects the girl's strong desire to be with the guy she likes. She's willing to walk down the street like a runway and go on a mission like James Bond (double 0 7) to get his attention and make him see that she's the one he should be with. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who's been in a situation where they like someone who doesn't seem to notice them or doesn't reciprocate their feelings.
