Flashdance
DeepDish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just another pretty face to see,
He's all over town, knocking them down yeah honey,
And I'd never let him next to me,
He's the kind of guy who thinks he's smart,
He's the type that always looks the part,
He's on the make, he's on the take,
He didn't mean to catch my eye,
Well he's lucky he just walked on by,
'cause he hasn't met a girl like me
Are you kidding?
Well I'd tell him that i'd rather die....
He doesn't mean a thing to me,
Just another pretty face to see,
He's all over town, knocking them down yeah honey,
And I'd never let him next to me,
He's the kind of guy who thinks he's smart,
He's the type that always looks the part,
He's on the make, he's on the take,
And I'd never let him touch my heart,
He didn't mean to catch my eye,
Well he's lucky he just walked on by,
'cause he hasn't met a girl like me
Are you kidding?
Well I'd tell him that i'd rather die
The lyrics to DeepDish's song Flashdance are about a woman who is not interested in a man who is all over town and is knocking other women down. She sees him as just another pretty face who thinks he's smart and is always on the make and on the take. She barely notices him, and she would never let him get close to her because she doesn't want him to touch her heart. Even though he caught her eye, he just walked on by, and she thinks he's lucky he did because he hasn't met anyone like her, and she would rather die than be with him.
The song is about a woman who is self-assured and confident in herself. She doesn't need a man to define her worth or happiness. She values herself too much to be with someone who is just going to use her and move on to the next pretty face. She's not impressed by his looks or charm, and she would rather be alone than be with someone who doesn't respect her.
Overall, the song is a celebration of self-love and self-respect. It's an anthem for women (and anyone, really) who know their worth and won't settle for anything less.

Flashdance
Ele não significa nada para mim
Só mais um rostinho bonito de se ver
Ele anda pela cidade toda, mandando ver, meu bem
E eu nunca deixaria que ele chegasse perto de mim
Ele é o tipo de cara que se acha esperto
Ele é do tipo que está sempre impecável
Correndo atrás, ganhando por fora, meu bem
E eu nunca deixaria que ele tocasse o meu coração
Ele não tinha a intenção de me chamar a atenção
Bem, ele tem sorte de ter passado reto
Porque ele nunca encontrou uma garota como eu
Tá brincando?
Bem, eu diria a ele que prefiriria morrer
Ele não significa nada para mim
Só mais um rostinho bonito de se ver
Ele anda pela cidade toda, mandando ver, meu bem
E eu nunca deixaria que ele chegasse perto de mim
Ele é o tipo de cara que se acha esperto
Ele é do tipo que está sempre impecável
Correndo atrás, ganhando por fora, meu bem
E eu nunca deixaria que ele tocasse o meu coração
Ele não tinha a intenção de me chamar a atenção
Bem, ele tem sorte de ter passado reto
Porque ele nunca encontrou uma garota como eu
Tá brincando?
Bem, eu diria a ele que preferiria morrer

He doesn't mean a thing to me,
Just another pretty face to see,
Cos all of the time, not that I'm dying for this,
And I'd never let him next to me,
He's the kind of guy who thinks he's smart,
He's the type that always looks the part,
He's on the make, he's on the take,
And I'd never let him touch my heart,
He didn't mean to catch my eye,
Well he's lucky he just walked on by,
If he ever met, a girl like me,
Are you kidding?
Well I'd tell him that i'd rather die...
He doesn't mean a thing to me,
Just another pretty face to see,
Cos all of the time, not that I'm dying for this,
And I'd never let him next to me,
He's the kind of guy who thinks he's smart,
He's the type that always looks the part,
He's on the make, he's on the take,
And I'd never let him touch my heart,
He didn't mean to catch my eye,
Well he's lucky he just walked on by,
If he ever met, a girl like me,
Are you kidding?
Well I'd tell him that i'd rather die...
