Cowboys to Girls
Intruders Lyrics

Cowboys to girls
Reflecting on how both the singer and his partner have grown and evolved over time

I remember when I used to play shoot 'em up (Shoot 'em up, bang, bang baby)
Thinking back on how he used to engage in aggressive, violent play when he was younger

I remember when I chased the girls and beat 'em up
Recalling how he used to mistreat girls when he was young, before he gained the maturity to understand how wrong it was

But I was young and didn't understand
Acknowledging that his past actions were the result of youthful ignorance

But now I'm a grown up man
Highlighting his current state of maturity and responsibility

I know girls are made for kissing
Expressing a newfound appreciation for the opposite sex and romantic relationships

Never knew what I was missing
Regretting that he didn't understand or appreciate these things earlier in his life

Now my life is not the same
Acknowledging that he has changed significantly and experienced a major shift in perspective and priorities

My whole world has been rearranged
Reflecting on how his entire outlook and way of living has changed as a result of growing up

I remember when I used to see you jumping rope (Jumping rope up and down baby)
Recalling early moments of his relationship with his partner and their shared experiences

And I remember when you got your first baby coach
Reflecting on a significant milestone in his partner's life

But you were young and didn't understand
Noting that his partner was also once youthful and inexperienced

Now you're a woman and I'm a man
Pointing out how both he and his partner have grown and matured over time

And it's me that you're kissing
Celebrating that his partner shares his romantic feelings and affections

Ain't it fun reminiscing
Enjoying the process of reflecting on the past and discussing shared memories

Now our lives are not the same
Noticing that both he and his partner have experienced significant changes and growth

Our whole world has been rearranged
Acknowledging how their relationship and experiences have shaped and transformed their lives

You went from (pretty dolls to boys) Oh yes you did
Recognizing that his partner has also experienced a shift in perspective and priorities

And it's me that you're kissing
Reiterating his happiness and gratitude for being loved and appreciated by his partner

My life life is not the same
Affirming that he has changed significantly since he was young

This whole world has been rearranged
Emphasizing how he has altered his way of thinking and living as he has grown up

I went from (cowboys to girls) Oh yes I did
Restating how he has changed and grown over time, using the song's central metaphor

You went from (pretty dolls to boys) Oh yes you did
Noting that his partner has also undergone significant transformation

I went from (cowboys to girls)
Echoing the phrase that summarizes the song's theme, one more time
