The Stupid Things
Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope I haven't gone over my limit
With interest rates so swift
No need to scream and shout
No doubt if women are from Venus now
I'll get to them somehow
All I want to do is please you
And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you
How I feel ohhh
All the stupid things I do have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you
How I feel about you, yeah
Yes I recall
Skipping on breakfast to play basketball
And feeling two feet small
Sometimes you read like William Shakes
Your scent is sweet like Betty Crooker bakes
I'd love to have your cake and eat it to.
All I want to do is please you
Please myself by living my life too
And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you
How I feel ohhh
All the stupid things I do have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you
How I feel about you, yeahhhh no no no no no nooo
All I want to do is please you
Please myself by living my life too
And all the stupid things I do
Have absolutely no reflection on
How I feel about you
How I feel ohhh
Oh how I feel about you
How I feel about you yeah
Ohh Oooo Yeahhh Noo ooo La La La La Laaa
In Jesse McCartney's song "The Stupid Things", he talks about the things he does - the silly, irrational, foolish acts he commits that are reflective of his personality and life choices. He asks his lover to charge it to his account, assuming he hasn't gone over his limit, and there is no need to scream and shout. He believes that he'll eventually win over any woman, regardless of how different they may be. He states that all he wants is to please his partner and live his life, but the stupid things he does have absolutely no reflection on how he feels about her. He then goes on to recall times where he's played basketball instead of having breakfast, feeling insignificant and small. He compliments his lover's scent, which he finds as refreshing and beautiful as Betty Crooker's bakes. Jesse McCartney admits that he would love to have his partner's cake and eat it too, which portrays his selfish, impulsive, and arguably childish nature.
The song explores the complexities of a relationship where one person may have difficulty separating their personal issues from their partner. McCartney acknowledges his tendencies to act impulsively and without considering the consequences but asks his partner to look beyond that to see how much he truly cares for her. He shows that he struggles with pleasing both himself and his loved one, which can be a common problem in many relationships. Overall, the song is a raw and honest representation of the hurdles many face when navigating the social intricacies of love.
