This Is the Girl
Kano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, oh oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [repeated]

This is the girl that I want

I'm comfortable
It's been way more than a month or two
Its deeper than that, I rode with you
So no other chick can't come close to you
An' deep down I know the truth;
no you don’t like if I come with you
But chicks wanna hug me in front of you
But I don't, need to be proved that I won't
Findin' another one quite like you
I know, that we become so close
An' I know I'm mostly on tour with girls backstage after the encore
But I'm down for you, look out for you
Try my best to be around for you
An' if your still down, but girl I want you to know; that your the one I want when I'm gone

This is the girl that I want
This is the girl that's gon' make me fall in love
(Na don't wanna even fall in love)
Girl I would ride with you
Give up my life for you
Baby cus girl I'll change
(Uh, oh oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

You know how it goes
You know what they say
Old dogs, new tricks
Different toilet, same
Well let me tell you somethin'

Look, I've been in the club many a times
Been a player; two girls at a time
Been a very bad boy like shine (too bad to see what you were doin')
I was involved, enclosed, hidin' with a silent ring tone
Like Jude Law in Closer
Relationship roller coaster
My life, my real life co-star
With no dialogue, no we couldn't go far
But I'll try and stop, cus so far
But that won't last, I move so fast
Spin 'round the track like Go-Karts
Over 'n' over and over
Slow start, I'm so lost
Cus I couldn't be what you wanted me to be
When I couldn't breathe, I wanted you to leave
What you couldn't see, was me in the club with she
Lookin' like my wife to be, now finally
I've grown up since then
And your eyes opened up since then
And I've changed so lets keep it movin'

This is the girl that I want
This is the girl that's gon' make me fall in love
Girl I would ride with you
Give up my life for you
Baby cus girl I'll change
This is the girl that I want

This is the girl that I want
Forget 'bout all them other girls before
Wanna get involved with you
All the other girls ain't the same
That can play the game
This is the girl that I want
(Uh, oh oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) [repeated]

On the canopy, my stamina being enough for Angelina Jolie
Actually I had to become a man to be the man you see
An' I know your fantasy; a baby and a family with me
I know how it sounds, but believe me
And if I don't know how to be, teach me

This is the girl that I want
This is the girl that's gon' make me fall in love
Girl I would ride with you
Give up my life for you
Baby cus girl I'll change
This is the girl that I want

This is the girl that I want
Forget 'bout all them other girls before
Wanna get involved with you
All the other girls ain't the same
That can play the game




This is the girl that I want
(Uh, oh oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) [repeated]
