Girls like You
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We spent the weekend getting even, ooh
We spent those date nights making things right between us
But now it's all good, babe
Roll it backwards, babe
And play me close
'Til sun down when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Girls like you love fun, and yeah, me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you
I spent the last night on that last flight to you
But took a whole day up tryna get way up, ooh
We spent the daylight tryna make things right between us (Oh, oh)
But now it's all good, babe
Roll that backwards, babe
And play me close (Yeah)
'Cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me
'Til sun down when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Girls like you love fun, and yeah, me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you
Maybe it's 6:45
Maybe I'm barely alive
Maybe you've taken my stuff for the last time, yeah
Maybe I know that I'm drunk
Maybe I know you're the one
Maybe you're thinking it's better if they drive
Oh, 'cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me (Girls like you)
'Til sun down when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah (Oh)
'Cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me (Girls like you)
'Til sun down when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you
The song "Girls Like You" by KIDZ BOP Kids expresses the singer's longing for a girl he desires. In the verses, the singer talks about how he spent so many hours with the girl and how they spent their dates making things right between them. Now that things are good, he wants to be close to her. The chorus of the song talks about how girls like the singer are not what girls like the girl he desires normally go for, but he wants one like her who loves to have fun just like he does. He says he needs a girl like her and repeats this a few times.
The second verse of the song talks about how he spent the last night on the last flight to her, but it took a whole day to try and make things right between them in the daylight. The singer then repeats the chorus, talking about how he needs a girl like the one he desires. The bridge of the song is a bit different in that the singer contemplates whether it's better for him to drive, possibly because he's drunk. He says "girls like you run 'round with guys like me" and repeats the chorus one last time.
Overall, "Girls Like You" is a song about a boy who desires a girl who is not typically interested in boys like him. He talks about how much he needs a girl like her, who loves to have fun and who he can spend more time with.
