Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I call, your name
Cross my fingers, uncross the others
Hesitate, oh I don't think straight
With nothin' to prove
I don't wanna say I'm leavin'
You can take all the things, the boxes and rings
And get goin'
'Cause I've been waitin' for
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes
Well you break and take all the words from my mouth
I wish all the pretty girls were shakin' me down
So I call (I call) you out (out baby)
Just to feel a little bit better about myself (he does)
I do (you do), baby
I do, I do, I do
Until their lips start to move
And their friends talk music
I'll say "I've never heard the tune."
But I have, I just hate the band
'Cause they remind me of you
Every single night ends up the same
I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name
(Over and over and over)
I think it's striking me out
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes
Well you break and take all the words from my mouth
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down
But not you,
You still wear boots and your hair is too long
And then this one, doesn't wanna admit she's fallin' in love
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do
When all the pretty girls can't measure to you ?
Ha !
I don't understand your reasons
Please just stay over the weekend
You can't take all those things
They define you and me
Everything we've become
You're all that I need
Please don't make me face my generation alone
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes
And you break and take all the words from my mouth
I wish all the pretty girls were shakin' me down
But not you,
I feel your faith is destroying the world
And then this one, never really understood
The 80's is over and done
Oh c'mon, what's a boy to do,
When all the pretty girls can't measure to you ?
Say
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
The song "All the Pretty Girls" by fun. is about a man at a party who is looking for a connection with someone, specifically pretty girls who can shake him down, but eventually realizes that he is too hung up on his past and one particular girl he used to date. He tries to use other girls as a distraction, but he can't stop thinking about his ex. The lyrics are written with wit and humor, making it an enjoyable listen. The use of repetition in the chorus, and the shift in tone in the bridge, makes the song more interesting. The lyrics also convey a sense of longing and nostalgia.
The line "I don't wanna say I'm leaving, I'll stay until the weekend" implies that the singer is trying to avoid commitment. The lyrics "I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down" shows his desire to find someone new, but ultimately he can't get over his ex. The bridge is frank and vulnerable, with lyrics like "Please don't make me face my generation alone." It's a relatable song about trying to move on from someone you still have feelings for.
