Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Song that was produced
By Rock Mafia, who I loved working with
And actually Iyaz is on the song too so
When I first heard the song with
Iyaz's voice, I Iike, freaked out
And was so excited
And played it to my little sisterAnd my whole family and it's just a really
Fun catchy song, and I love it
And I hope you do too
The lyrics to Demi Lovato's "You're My Only Shorty" are a declaration of love and devotion to one person. The beginning of the song talks about the reality setting in after a crazy night together, and the singer asking if the person really meant what they said and if they could say it again. The lyrics then go on to talk about how love can be crazy, restless, dumb, and paranoid, but how the singer is willing to take a chance on their relationship and hope that the other person doesn't destroy their heart. The singer asks for one guarantee - that they are the only person the other sees.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "You're my only shorty" several times, emphasizing the devotion the singer feels towards their partner. The lyrics talk about having an open invitation to be together as long as they remain each other's only destination. The singer then brings up how they are both in demand, but if the other person tries to sneak around, they'll have to say goodbye.
The song ends with the singer asking if they are the other person's only shorty and if they are the only one for their affection. The lyrics are a plea for the other person to give their attention and affection only to the singer.
Line by Line Meaning
Last night was crazy and today it's setting in
I'm still thinking about what happened last night and wondering if it was real
Did you really mean it,
I want to know if your words were sincere
And could you say it again?
I want to hear you reaffirm your feelings
Oh, oh, even if you just say it over the phone
I don't care how you say it, I just want to hear it
(C'mon make it real)
I need to know if what we shared was genuine
Love makes me crazy, restless, dumb and paranoid
Being in love can evoke intense and irrational emotions in me
But I'll take a chance on us and
I'm willing to risk my heart for the possibility of a relationship with you
Hope you don't destroy my heart
I'm afraid that you might hurt me
Just give me one guarantee
I need reassurance that you won't break my heart
I'm the only girl you see, what you say, boy?
Do you have eyes for anyone besides me?
You're my only shorty
You're my one and only
I'm telling you the truth, girl it's only you
I'm being honest when I say that you're the only one for me
You're my only one and only
You're the sole person I want to be with
(Am I your only shorty?)
I need confirmation that I'm the only one for you
Every day and night you got
I'm always available for you, no matter the time
An open invitation
You're welcome to be with me anytime you want
As long as I'm your one and
As long as you only have eyes for me
Only destination, fly with me
Come on this journey with me, let's explore love together
I'll be your fantasy
I'll fulfill your dreams and desires
You're in demand
Other people want to be with you too
But baby, baby, so am I
I'm also in high demand
But if you're weak and try to sneak
If you're unfaithful or deceptive
I'll have to tell you bye, bye
I'll have to end the relationship
I'ma put you on the spot
I'm going to ask you a direct question
Am I your only girl tonight? (What you say boy?)
Are you focused only on me tonight?
Please, baby, please give me all your attention
I want your undivided focus and affection
Don't let my heart go seeking
Don't make me have to look for love elsewhere
No other direction
Only towards you
I gotta be the only one for your affection
I need to be the one and only person you love
Oh, yea, baby girl, did I mention?
Have I told you this before?
(Baby, come clean)
Be honest with me
Wanna hear you say yeah (Yes you are)
I need you to confirm that I'm the only one for you
Am I your only shorty?
Are you only interested in me?
