I Don't Normally Do This
Jesse McCartney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What what we know,

Boy you know I like you but I don't normally do this
(I don't normally x2)

What what what we know,

Boy you know I like you but I don't normally do this
(I don't normally x2)

What what what we know,

Boy you know I like you but I don't normally do this
(I don't normally x2)

Made her giggle when I met her,

She started off kinda hard to get,
Told her I'd get her

She said she like em really reallies
What I'm gonna give her

I could tell she had her heart broke bout three-four times
Girl by me never

We at the movies,
She all into me,
I'm lookin at her
Out the corner of my eye,
What's she doing?

She got up out of her seat,
Nowhere to be found (found)




Her girlfriends lookin for her
They don't know we fooling around (round)

She told me she ain't never met no one that made her wanna
And she don't know what it is that has come over her
She giving me signals, like she don't (she don't) fell in love

I don't know if that's what we doin but I wanna tear it up

When we got to the car she said

Just keep your eyes on the road while I do this

Overall Meaning

The song "I Don't Normally Do This" by Jesse McCartney ft Tyga revolves around a man who is confessing his attraction towards a woman. He admits that he likes her but he doesn't usually express his feelings this way. He then proceeds to recount their first meeting where he made her giggle despite her initial resistance. He promises to win her over and give her what she desires, which turns out to be a man who is faithful to her and doesn't break her heart. As the song progresses, they go on a date to the movies and begin to flirt with each other. The woman gets up from her seat and disappears for a while, leaving the man unsure of her feelings towards him. However, when they finally get into his car, she makes a suggestive move towards him while he drives and he eagerly reciprocates.


The lyrics of the song portray a man who is usually shy and reserved, but he can't contain his desire for this particular woman. He takes his time to woo her, promising to make her happy and treat her with the respect and loyalty she deserves. As the woman reciprocates his feelings and signals her attraction towards him, he becomes more confident and assertive. The lines "I don't know if that's what we doin but I wanna tear it up" suggest that he's willing to take things further with her, even though he's unfamiliar with this level of intensity.

Hollywood Records took advantage of Jesse

Why the hell was this never released...

@b.k.a.thegoldenchild2305

Why the hell was there never a video for this?

@Malibubarbie300

I wondered why I couldn't find it on Spotify.

@niccawicca

Jesse McCartney being a scaredy-cat by not releasing very sexy music like this.

@CapricornGilbert

Hollywood Records is to blame

@niccawicca

Jesse allowing himself to be a major record label pawn is the cause. He wanted to do adult music. But the major record label wanted to keep his clean Disney schoolboy image. But he was getting older. He was getting too mature for that. Sorry, but this is why I stopped listening to Jesse's newer music. After this "I Don't Normally Do This" song's album got shelved, I waited until he got daring again in his "New Stage" album.
