Fletcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only girls going wild in my mind
In my mind
Midnight when I saw ya, I was about to leave
You were in the corner hanging, like a masterpiece
You're dancing with all your best friends
Or maybe you could spend a song with me
Talking over speakers, you're leaning close to me
You tucked my hair behind my ear
I put my finger through the loop of your jeans
I knew right then, right there
It was so cinematic
Because it started to rain
And I said, oh my god
Your body's speaking my language
I told my mom it's not a phase 'cause
I kissed a girl and I liked it
Sipped her like an Old Fashioned
I kissed a girl and she liked it
It's better than I imagined
Oh, she took my heart and my number
Don't think I'll recover
'Til she's in my covers coming over tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
Yeah, I really, really liked it
Girls, I got girls
Only girls going wild in my mind
In my mind
Want to hold this moment the way you're holding me
Swimming in your ocean, you move like poetry
She struck me hard like lightning
And I don't think I'll ever come back
(I don't think I'll ever come back)
I knew right then, right there
It was super dramatic
Because it started to rain
And she said, oh my god
Your body's speaking my language
Go tell your mom, it's not a phase 'cause
I kissed a girl and I liked it
Sipped her like an Old Fashioned
I kissed a girl and she liked it
It's better than I imagined
Oh she took my heart and my number
Don't think I'll recover
'Til she's in my covers coming over tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
Yeah, I really, really liked it
Girls, I got girls
Only girls going wild in my mind (in my mind)
In my mind (in my mind)
Girls, I got girls
Only girls going wild in my mind (in my mind)
In my mind (in my mind)
I kissed a girl, no surprises
I really, really liked it (haha)
The lyrics to Fletcher's song "Girls Girls Girls" depict a narrative of a young woman who meets someone at a party and experiences a romantic attraction to this person. The references to "girls going wild in my mind" seem to suggest that the singer is not necessarily interested in men but only in women. In the first verse, she describes meeting someone at midnight and asking them to dance with her. The physical details of the attraction are described with the line "I could see what's underneath" suggesting she is attracted to the individual's physique.
The second verse sees the singer's attraction deepening after being kissed by the person she met. They share a moment that is described as "super dramatic" as they both acknowledge their feelings for each other in the rain. The encounter is passionate and both parties express enjoying the experience. The singer is unsure if their feelings are simply a phase or not, but appears to be fully embracing the moment.
Throughout the song, it seems as though there is a celebration of same-sex attraction and the need to acknowledge romantic connections regardless of gender. The lyrics encourage the expression of one's desires regardless of societal norms surrounding gender or sexual preference.

Girls I got girls
I am surrounded by so many girls
Only girls going wild in my mind
All I can think of are girls and their wildness
In my mind
It's all in my imagination
Midnight when I saw ya
At midnight, I caught a glimpse of you
I was about to leave
I was just about to go
You were in the corner
You were tucked away in the corner
Hanging like a masterpiece
You were like a masterpiece on display
You're dancing with all your best friends
You were dancing with your closest friends
Maybe you could spend a song with me
Perhaps you could dance with me for a song
In a tight t-shirt
Wearing a snug t-shirt
I could see what's underneath
I had a pretty good idea of what was underneath
Talking over speakers
We were communicating over the artists
You're leaning close to me
You leaned in close to me
You tucked my hair behind my ear
You tenderly put my hair behind my ear
I put my finger through the loop of your jeans
I traced my finger through the loops of your jeans
I knew right then right there
In that moment, I knew
It was so cinematic
It felt like a scene from a movie
Because it started to rain
Because it started pouring outside
And I said oh my god
I couldn't believe it
Your body's speaking my language
Your body is saying exactly what I want to hear
I told my mom it's not a phase 'cause
I assured my mom that this is not a temporary thing
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I kissed a girl and I enjoyed it
Sipped her like an old fashion
I savored her like an old-fashioned cocktail
It's better than I imagined
It exceeded my expectations
Oh, she took my heart and my number
She had me heart and soul, and I gave her my number
Don't think I'll recover
I don't think I'll ever forget this experience
Til she's in my covers coming over a night
Until she's lying in my bed with me at night
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I kissed a girl and I enjoyed it
Yeah, I really, really liked it
I really loved it
Wanna hold this moment
I want to cherish this moment
The way you're holding me
The way you're embracing me
Swimming in your ocean
I'm immersed in your essence
You move like poetry
The way you move is like poetry in motion
She struck me hard like lightning
She hit me hard like a bolt of lightning
And I don't think I'll ever come back
I don't think I'll ever be the same
It was super dramatic
It was intense and theatrical
In my mind
It's all in my imagination
No surprises
There's nothing unexpected here
I really, really liked it (haha)
I loved every minute of it (laughs)

That night when I saw you
I was about to leave

Talkin' over speakers
You're leanin' close to me
You tuck my hair behind my ear
I put my finger through the loop of your jeans
