Family Force 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spilled that display, things all over the floor
But now I'm face to face with, you
Could it be, my eyes deceive?
There stands an angel, shopping on isle three
Heaven must be shampoo
Girl, I'm so pitiful
Torn up from the floor I'm...
I can't ignore ya
You break necks when ya walk by (walk by)
You got wings 'cause you're so fly (so fly)
You don't even have to try (no)
Baby you got it, you got it
You go bang like a firework (firework)
You got flavor like a desert (desert)
I bet you'd look good in my t-shirts (yeah)
Baby you got it, you got it girl
Oh (you got got it)
Oh (you got got it)
Oh baby girl yea you got it, you've got it
I got a crush that's so hardcore
You're breaking my heart through the slidin' doors
Oh, dolly turn around
Let me talk to you
Girl, you're so beautiful (beautiful)
Girl, I'm so pitiful (pitiful)
Torn up from the floor I'm...
I can't ignore ya
You break necks when ya walk by (walk by)
You got wings 'cause you're so fly (so fly)
You don't even have to try (no)
Baby you got it, you got it
That girl, she got it
Twelve on a ten scale, oo she's flawless
She got game, yep she brought it
Mm mm, yea I want it
You break necks when ya walk by (walk by)
You got wings 'cause you're so fly (so fly)
You don't even have to try (no)
Baby you got it, you got it

I bumped carts at the grocery store
I clumsily collided with someone's shopping cart in the grocery store

Girl, you're so beautiful
You are incredibly attractive, and I can't help but notice
Girl, I'm so pitiful

Torn up from the floor I'm...

That girl, she got it
I'm making a more general observation about how some people just have that special something that sets them apart
Twelve on a ten scale, oo she's flawless
You are so beautiful and perfect that you break the scale and exceed the highest rating
She got game, yep she brought it
