Girl
K-Ci JoJo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I was born to give you all of my time
Just so we can be together
And share a love, to last forever baby (to last forever)
The best thing you gave was sent to me
That we should spend some time apart
Why did you go and do that
Baby I just came to get
Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me know you would see
On the way it shouldn't be
Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me go let me be
So I can find someone to love me
Ba ba ba ba ba da-a, ba ba ba ba ba da-a
Ba ba ba ba ba da-a
Why did you do this to me?
Ba ba ba ba ba da-a, ba ba ba ba ba da-a
Ba ba ba ba ba da-a
Why did you do this to me?
What kind of man (what kind of man) do you think that I am
To let you play with my heart
And what kind of fool do you take me for baby
I just won't step for it in me
Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me know you would see
On the way it shouldn't be (Ya-h)
(Girl) if you don't really love me
Just let me go let me be
So I can find someone to love me
(Girl) tell me do you want me
I got to know right know
Tell me right now-girl
(Girl) girl I've been your fool
To long for you
(And I've been waiting since) and I cant wait, no way
Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me know you would see
On the way it shouldn't be (Ya-h)
Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me go let me be
So I can find someone to love me
Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me know you would see
on the way it shouldn't be (Ya-h)
Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me go let me be
So I can find someone to love me girl
The lyrics of K-Ci & JoJo's hit song "Girl" is about a man who is in a relationship with a woman, but is questioning her commitment to him. The chorus repeats the phrase "Girl if you don't really love me, just let me know," conveying his sentiment that he wants to be with someone who truly wants to be with him. The verse "Baby I was born to give you all of my love" expresses his dedication to their relationship, but the line "What kind of man do you think that I am to let you play with my heart" shows his frustration with her behavior.
The bridge of the song asks the woman if she really wants to be with him or not, and he declares that he cannot wait forever for her to make a decision. The song ends with the repeated plea for the woman to either love him or let him go so he can find someone who will.
Overall, the lyrics of "Girl" are a poignant plea for honesty and commitment in a relationship, and convey both the deep love and frustration that the man feels towards his partner.
