Golden Girl
Frank Ocean Lyrics

She peels an orange for us in the morning
She starts the day by doing a small act of kindness for both of us.

She woke me up to give me half
She lovingly wakes me up to share something with me.

I can hear the children soccer ballin'
I can hear the joyful sounds of children playing soccer.

Like wildcats running on the grass, hey
The children are running with energy and excitement, just like wildcats.

You're a girl on this island
You are a girl who belongs to this island, representing a sense of belonging.

I'm a boy from America
I am a boy who comes from America, representing a feeling of being an outsider.

My flight leaves tonight, but I don't think I'm going backwards
Although I am leaving soon, I don't feel like I am regressing or going backward in life.

I won't be going backwards
I am determined to keep moving forward in life.

You're my golden girl
You are the special person in my life, my chosen one.

You're the one I've chosen, girl
Out of everyone, you are the one I have chosen to be with.

You're 24k
You are valuable and precious, like pure gold.

You make it bright when it's grey
You bring light and happiness into my life, even in difficult times.

The sun has been kind to you
You have been fortunate and blessed in life.

But the sky's never grey
Despite any hardships, you always have a positive outlook on life.

Silent moments, meditative poses
We share peaceful and reflective moments together.

You break my focus, you make me laugh
You interrupt my serious thoughts and make me laugh, bringing joy into my life.

Two mopeds racing through the forest
We engage in thrilling and adventurous activities together.

Making dirt clouds on a path, on a path
Our actions leave a mark and create excitement as we navigate through life.

I'm my best on this island
I feel like my true self and perform at my highest potential when I am on this island.

I'm a mess in America
In America, I feel lost and overwhelmed, not being able to fully express myself.

My flight left last night, but I know I'm not going back home, yeah
Even though I physically left America, I don't consider it my true home anymore.

I'm not going back home, no
I have made a decision to move forward and not return to my old life.

If we build a house in paradise, will we get to heaven s'till?
If we create a perfect life together, can we find eternal happiness?

If we don't have to live through hell just to get to heaven
If we can avoid going through difficult and painful experiences to achieve happiness.

I'mma stay right here, with you
I choose to stay with you, no matter what challenges come our way.

'Til the hurricane comes, 'til the tsunami comes, I've found my gold
Even in the face of disaster or chaos, I have found something precious and valuable in you.

Um, you're my G-O L-D E-N G-I R-L
You are my golden girl, spelled out to emphasize your importance and value.

And that's for the females that can't spell, but
This line is a playful acknowledgment of those who may struggle with spelling.

Thanks for fucking with me
Thank you for being with me and supporting me.

You turn my dark into light, you're like a bucket of bleach
You bring light and brightness into my life, like a strong cleaning agent transforming darkness.

You see, I want you to know that
I want to express and make sure you understand.

My negatives at home aren't working for my Kodak
My negative experiences and surroundings at home are not conducive to bringing out the best in me.

So that means that I don't want to go back
As a result, I have no desire to return to my old life.

Just know that I would like to stay here and hold that
I want you to understand that I want to stay with you and cherish our relationship.

Hand of yours, girl I'm a wreck in America
I feel lost and broken when I am in America, but with you, I feel more stable and complete.

Your face is the best 'cause it's the same color as the lace on my neck
I find beauty in your face because it matches the color of the necklace I wear, symbolizing harmony and connection.

And you're golden, uh, your eyes open, fuck it
You are special and valuable, and your eyes captivate me, so let's embrace it.

Let's toast and listen to Michael Bolton
Let's celebrate and enjoy a moment together by raising our glasses and listening to Michael Bolton, representing shared enjoyment.

I free-fall off the hill again
I am taking a risk and diving into the unknown once more.

Let's see where I land, I'm like Gilligan
I am curious to see where my choices and actions take me, just like the adventurous character Gilligan.

Um, I trust you, Golden, for wed ring
I have complete trust in you, Golden, and I see a future of commitment and marriage together.

I'm just hopin' that you don't turn my neck green
I hope that being with you won't have any negative or harmful consequences for me.
