Dream Girl
Jay-el Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm perfect for you
Figured me out
Not too good to be true
And you know I'm not like the other girls, I'm so unique
I make your world go round
You won't forget about me
I'm not just yours to fix up
A little rough around the edges
I, I'm just the typical bitch
You say I got an attitude
But I say I really don't fuck with you
Think I'm wrapped around your finger
But if you only knew
Boy you just get it
I'm perfect for you
Figured me out
Not too good to be true
And you know I'm not like the other girls, I'm so unique
I make your world go round
You won't forget about me
Got an invitation to your pity party
I'm feelin' sick, yeah I'm really sorry
Maybe I'm allergic to the bullshit
Think I'm Cinderella but the shoe don't fit
You say I'm what you're looking for
But I don't wanna play the part anymore
Think I'm wrapped around your finger
I'll break that shit in two
Boy you just get it
I'm perfect for you
Figured me out
Not too good to be true
And you know I'm not like the other girls, I'm so unique
I make your world go round
You won't forget about me
Your fairytale
Is getting stale
No holy grail, oh, oh
No movie scene
Go kill the screen
I'm no machine, oh, oh
Pretty little saboteur
When I get bored
You think it's love
When I fuck shit up, no
I'm not yours
I'm not yours
I'm not yours

Is getting stale
It is becoming dull and unexciting
No holy grail, oh, oh
There is no ultimate prize or solution
No movie scene
This isn't a scripted romantic scene
Go kill the screen
Destroy the illusion portrayed on the screen
I'm no machine, oh, oh
I am not a robotic being, I have emotions and flaws
Pretty little saboteur
I am an attractive troublemaker
When I get bored
When I become uninterested
You think it's love
You mistake my actions for love
When I fuck shit up, no
But in reality, I cause chaos and disruption
I'm not yours
I don't belong to anyone
