Ladies
Guys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dressed up in a gown that trails on the floor,
In a picture hat that mommy wore,
Living in a world that you never saw
My little lady make believe

What a pair of gloves, the fingers don't meet,
Posing in a glass, your joy is complete,
My little lady make believe.

In your little arms the doll you enfold,
Means the world and all to you,
But you could never love the doll that you hold,
Half as much as I love you dear,

Dream your little dreams and may they come true,
May the coming year bring happiness too,




All my future dreams are wrapped up in you
My little lady make believe

Overall Meaning

In the opening stanza of Guys's song "Ladies," the lyrics describe a little girl who is dressed up in a gown and a picture hat that once belonged to her mother. She is living in a world that is beyond her understanding and imagination, completely caught up in her own make-believe world. In the next stanza, the lyrics paint a picture of the little girl posing with a pair of gloves that are too big for her fingers in front of a mirror, and expressing her joy at being able to play dress-up.


The third stanza of the song describes the little girl holding her doll, which means the world to her. However, she could never love the doll as much as the singer of the song loves her. The final stanza is filled with hope and good wishes for the little girl, with the singer wishing that all her future dreams come true.

Personally blanket hoodies and pj pants are the way to go, way more comfy than the pjs with buttons in my opinion. Nice video! 👍🏻
