Girl I Think the World About You
Jamiroquai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you're the only one for me (one for me)
You make me feel good, so good inside
Stay by me, woman, for the rest of my life
And as I think of you more every day
There's only one thing, girl, I can say
And that's, girl, I think the world about you, whoo
Oh, girl, I think the world about you
I'm always thinkin' of you
Yeah
So many wonders in your world, it seems (world, it seems)
You're the picture of a woman, a little girl's dream (wanna dream)
You seem so weak sometimes to be so strong
You make a man like me find a need to belong
No words can say how much I need you so
But oh, my love, I want the world to know
Girl, I think the world about you
I'm always thinkin' of you
Oh, girl, I think the world about you
I'm always thinkin' of you, ooh
Ooh
There's no words to say how much I need you so
But oh, sweet girl, I want the world to know
Girl, I think the world about you, whoo
I'm always thinkin' of you
Oh, girl, I think the world about you
Yeah, yeah, girl
Thinking about you, my baby, my baby, yeah
Thinking about you, my baby, my baby, yeah
Thinking about you, my baby, my baby, yeah
Thinking about you, my baby, my baby, yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na, girl
Na-na-na-na-na-na, girl
Girl, I think the world about you, I really do love you
I really do need you
I really do love you
I really do need you
I really do love you
I really do need you
Really do, really do, really do, really do
Really do, really do, really do, really do love you
In "Girl I Think The World About You," Jamiroquai sings about his intense love for a woman who he believes is the only one for him. He praises her for making him feel good and for being the embodiment of his dreams, while also acknowledging her strength and the way that she makes him feel like he belongs. He can't fully express how much he needs her and wants to share his love with the world.
The song is a classic example of a love ballad. From the opening line, it is clear that the singer is deeply in love with the subject of his affection. The intensity of his emotions is conveyed through the repetition of the chorus, which emphasizes his constant thoughts of her. The singer's desire to share his feelings with the world is captured in the final lines of the song. While he cannot fully express how much he needs her, he wants everyone to know just how much he loves her.
