Dream Girl
Jeffries Fan Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was drinking coffee and talking about the world
I looked in her eyes
She looked in mine
And I knew right away
We were gonna have a good time
I asked her out on a date
I said please don't say no, no to fate
I don't have a lot of money
But I know how to sing
She was good enough for me
That's all she had to be
I don't need no movie star to make me happy
Took her to the show
Didn't watch it though
But I still enjoyed myself, don't ya know
I said I think you're beautiful
She said that's what I've been told
You might think I'm beautiful but
I really don't
When I first met my dream girl
I was drinking coffee and talking about the world
I never thought she'd be mine
But now we're together all the time
The lyrics of Jeffries Fan Club's song "Dream Girl" expresses the singer's journey in meeting his ideal woman. When he first saw her, he found her sitting down, drinking coffee and conversing about the world, and upon meeting her gaze, he knew right away that he was going to have a good time with her. He was brave enough to ask her out, even though he didn’t have much money to treat her, and she agreed to go on a date with him, specifying that she didn't have much money either, but she could sing. The singer recognized that she was good enough for him and that he didn't require a movie star to make him happy.
When they went to the cinema together, he didn’t really care about what was playing because he was happy to be in her company. He told her that she was beautiful, but to his surprise, she didn't believe him. Nonetheless, their relationship flourished, and they spent a lot of time together. The song's message reinforces the idea that love doesn't require superficial qualities or wealth, and all it takes is a connection between two people to create a meaningful relationship.
In summary, "Dream Girl" is about recognizing true love in unexpected places and valuing personal connection over superficiality. It's a song about recognizing that love and happiness are found within oneself, and not in external factors like material possessions or status.
Line by Line Meaning
When I first met my dream girl
At the beginning of our love story
She was drinking coffee and talking about the world
She was engaged in her own world, contemplating about the surrounding environment
I looked in her eyes
I had locked my gaze on to her eyes, attracted and curious
She looked in mine
She made eye contact with me, noticing my interest in her
And I knew right away
I immediately sensed an unspoken connection and intuition that we were meant to be
We were gonna have a good time
I had a positive feeling that we would have a great time together
I asked her out on a date
I requested to spend quality time with her
I said please don't say no, no to fate
I sweetly asked her to give our relationship a chance and not to ignore the possibilities of a potential destiny for us
She said yes there's just one thing
She agreed to spend time with me, but with a condition
I don't have a lot of money
I lack the financial ability to provide extravagance and luxury
But I know how to sing
I have a talent and skill that I can use to entertain and charm
She was good enough for me
I accepted and appreciated her for who she is and not her materialistic possessions
That's all she had to be
Her personality and character were enough for me
I don't need no movie star to make me happy
I don't aspire for the glamour and glitz of a celebrity to bring me joy
Took her to the show
We went to watch a performance or event together
Didn't watch it though
We were so engrossed in each other's company that we didn't focus on the show
But I still enjoyed myself, don't ya know
I had a great time despite not paying attention to the events happening around us
I said I think you're beautiful
I complimented her with the adjective 'beautiful'
She said that's what I've been told
She acknowledged my compliment but had heard it before
You might think I'm beautiful but
Just because you think I'm beautiful
I really don't
Doesn't necessarily mean that I have that perception of myself
When I first met my dream girl
At the beginning of our love story
I was drinking coffee and talking about the world
I was also engaged in my own thoughts and surroundings
I never thought she'd be mine
I never expected to end up with her
But now we're together all the time
But now we've become inseparable and spend most of our time together
