Guy Like You
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is glowing this evening
True, that's because it's on fire
But still, there's l'amour
Somewhere out there in the night
Her heart is also alight
And I know the guy she just might
Be burning for
A guy like you
She's never known, kid
A guy like you
A girl does not meet every day
You've got a look
That's all your own, kid
Could there be two?
Like you?
No way!
Those other guys
That she could dangle
All look the same
From every boring point of view
You're a surprise
From every angle
Mon Dieu above
She's gotta love
A guy like you
A guy like you
Gets extra credit
Because it's true
You've got a certain something more
You're aces, kid
You see that face
You don't forget it
Want something new?
That's you
For sure!
We all have gaped
At some Adonis
But then we crave a meal
More nourishing to chew
And since you've shaped
Like a croissant is
No question of
She's gotta love
A guy like you!
Call me a hopeless romantic
But Quasi, I feel it
She wants you so
Any moment she'll walk through that door
For
A guy so swell
With all you bring her
A fool could tell
It's why she fell
For you-know-who
You ring the bell
You're the bell ringer!
When she wants oo-la-la
Then she wants you la-la
She will discover, guy
You're one heckuva guy
Who wouldn't love a guy
Like you?
You got a lot
The rest have not
She's gotta love a guy like you!
The song Guy Like You is from Disney's animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It is a romantic song where Quasimodo's friends Phoebus and Esmeralda encourage him to confess his love for a girl who he feels might not like him back. They try to convince him that he is a unique and charming person whom a girl would be lucky to have. The song starts with the line, "Paris, the city of lovers, is glowing this evening. True, that's because it's on fire, but still, there's l'amour somewhere out there in the night" which is a clever wordplay on the fact that Paris is on fire, but the city still has love in the air. The song reflects the romanticized and idealized notion of Paris as a city of love.
The lyrics of the song are witty and playful, full of puns and metaphors that serve as hilarious visualizations of the lyrics. For instance, when Phoebus sings, "You're shaped like a croissant is," it creates a hilarious imagery that describes how Quasimodo's hunchback is similar in shape to a croissant. Similarly, the line, "You ring the bell, you're the bell ringer" is a pun on Quasimodo's job as the bell ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral.
The song highlights the message that love is not just about the physical appearance of a person. It is about having a unique and charming personality that sets a person apart, which is the message that Phoebus and Esmeralda try to convey to Quasimodo. This song is a fun-filled, romantic ballad that adds to the charm of the film.

i love this movie but HOLY FUCK
QUASI M O D O
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
THE CITY IS BURNING
AND YOU'RE SINGING ABOUT HOW YOU'LL GET THE GIRL
PEOPLE ARE DYING
IF YOU STOP SINGING YOU CAN HEAR THEIR SCREAMS
i cant get over it. this fucking legend, this absolute unit singing about his crush. This is Nero fiddling while Rome burns, this is like Major Kong riding the H-bomb, this is Trump's election. bravo, you magnificent fucking bastard.

I like how they made this song to distract us from the dark turn this movie has taken.

@@psychozombieproductions7739 yeah and it’s very questionable how this movie got a G rating while Frozen got PG. The marketing made it look like it was a kids’ movie while the opening number gave nightmares to many kids watching at that time lmao

@@ilike2365 not really it didn't scare me when I was little. I felt bad for the death of quasimodos mom but it didn't scare me. I believe the only Disney movie that startled me was the black couldron

Tbh I think it's dark in it's own way. Quasimodo talking to inanimate objects the whole film to make himself feel better is depressing in a whole additional way.
