have you ever
E.N.V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say you never ever ever wore curls
You wore nothing but an ole shaggy shaggy dress
I say you never ever tried to look your best
[Chorus]
Now when I look at you
You've changed and it's shown yeah
My love for you has grown yes it did now
You've changed and it shown
Yeah yeah, yeah
Your legs were little but now they are big
Instead of wearing ponytails
You got a little ole red wig
Your eyes are pretty, you got some kissable lips
And I love they way you walk, way you sway your little hips
[Chorus]
The song "Have You Ever" by E.N.V is a touching tribute to a childhood crush who has grown up and become even more beautiful. The opening lines describe how the girl used to dress in a shaggy dress and never cared much about her appearance. The chorus reveals that things have changed and the artist's love for her has grown. The verses go on to describe the physical changes in the girl - from her legs growing bigger to her sporting a little red wig instead of the ponytails she wore as a child. The artist also admires her pretty eyes, kissable lips, and the way she walks with a sway in her hips.
Overall, the song is about how love can grow and change over time, and how physical appearances are simply a reflection of that growth. The artist is not only captivated by the girl's outward beauty but also by the changes that have taken place within her as she has grown and matured. The song is both nostalgic and celebratory, acknowledging the past but also reveling in the present.
