Hello Little Girl
George Thorogood and the Destroyers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello little girl
Hello little girl
Hello little girl

When I see you everyday
I say, "Mm mm hello little girl"
When you're passing on your way
I say, "Mm mm hello little girl"

When I see you passing by
I cry, "Mm mm hello little girl"
When I try to catch your eye
I cry, "Mm mm hello little girl"

I send you flowers but you don't care
You never seem to see me standing there
I often wonder what you're thinking of
I hope it's me and love love love

So I hope there'll come a day
When you'll say, "Mm you're my little girl"

It's not the first time that it's happened to me,
It's been a long lonely time
And it's funny funny to see that I'm about to lose my mind mind mind

So I hope there'll come a day
When you say, "Mm mm
You're my little girl, mm mm mm
You're my little girl, mm mm mm"
You're my little girl, oh yeah
You're my little girl

Do do do do do

Overall Meaning

The song "Hello Little Girl" by George Thorogood and the Destroyers is about a man who is infatuated with a young woman who he sees every day but has never spoken to. He admires her from afar and tries to catch her attention but she seems oblivious to his presence. He sends her flowers but she doesn't seem to care. He is constantly wondering what she is thinking about and hopes that it's him.

The lyrics in the song showcase a sort of innocence and longing that is present in crushes and infatuations. The man in the song is hoping for reciprocation from the woman, hoping that she will one day see him as a potential love interest.

The song is a classic rock and roll track that showcases George Thorogood's blues guitar and howling vocals. The repetitive nature of the song's structure, with the same lyrics repeated multiple times, adds to the hypnotic nature of the track. The song has a nostalgic feel to it, harkening back to a simpler time when a crush could be all-consuming.

Greeting to the girl he likes

When I see you everyday
Every time he sees her, he greets her

I say, "Mm mm hello little girl"

When she walks by him

When I see you passing by
When he sees her walking away

I cry, "Mm mm hello little girl"

When he tries to get her attention

I cry, "Mm mm hello little girl"
