Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't figure out you girl
But I have to have you
I can't figure out you girl
But I have to have you

You're all I want in this world
I have to have you
I can't figure out you girl
But I have to have you
I just. have to have you

I can't figure out you girl
But I have to have you
I can't figure out you girl
But I have to have you

You're all I want from this world
And I have to have you
I can't figure out you girl
But I have to have you
I just... have to have you

And there's one thing you should know
No ___ can not ever guide you

I can't figure out you girl
But I ought to have you

I can't figure out you girl
But I have to have you

You're all I want from this world
And I have to have you
You
I can't figure out you girl




But I have to have you
I just... have to have you

Overall Meaning

The song "Girl" by Jaakko Eino Kalevi is an ode to desire and the inexplicable attraction that one person can feel towards another. The repetition of the lines "I can't figure out you girl, but I have to have you" emphasize the confusion and intensity of the singer's feelings. Despite not understanding the girl, the singer still feels an overwhelming need to be with her.


The lyrics express a sense of desperation and obsession, with the singer declaring that the girl is all they want in this world. This singular desire fuels the repetition of the chorus, with the singer proclaiming that they just "have to have" the girl. The incomplete line that says "No ___ can not ever guide you" adds to the sense of confusion and ambiguity surrounding the girl, suggesting that she is somehow resistant to influence or outside forces.


Overall, the song explores the idea that love and attraction can often be irrational and unpredictable. The singer admits that they cannot fully understand the object of their desire, but that they are still drawn to her with an almost unexplainable force.
