Girl
Kenny T Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some times when your
Talking to me
I hope you never ever let me go
Oh how it hurts me
To think of you as a ghost
I thought you needed me
But you proved me wrong
You my ghost girl baby

We got soul ties
Gave me your soul but
Baby you just sold mine
Cuz your my ghost girl
Baby I had all this time
Why the fuck did I try
To make everything right
All it did was break me
Take my soul into pieces
I really never showed anybody
Else my weakness
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I was on the back of the bus
Smokin cigarettes
That only me and you shared
I saw this girl with a blue hair
She looked me in the eyes
With something that I've never
Seen before
Was it love , I don't know it
I don't know it
But when she looked me
In the eyes baby I felt noticed
Something that I've never felt
With you
Cuz your my ghost girl
Baby I had all this time
Why the fuck did I try
To make everything right
All it did was break me
Take my soul into pieces
I really never showed anybody
Else my weakness
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you

I hate you
I hate you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "My Girl" by Kenny T are a tribute to the singer's significant other. He starts off by saying that even on a cloudy day, he feels like he has sunshine because of her. He even goes on to say that when it's cold outside, he's got the warmth of May because of her. The chorus repeats the lyrics "My girl" several times, emphasizing the importance and joy that his partner brings him.

As the song progresses, Kenny T asserts that he doesn't need material possessions to be happy because his girl is all he needs. He mentions that he has so much honey that even the bees are envious of him, and a sweeter song than the birds in the trees. The bridge of the song repeats the chorus and reminds the listener that even on a cloudy day, he has sunshine with his girl.

This song is a classic example of a love song that expresses gratitude and adoration towards a significant other without resorting to sappy platitudes. The lyrics are simple and emphasize the effect that the girl has on the singer's life, which makes it an enduring classic.

Line by Line Meaning

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
Even when there are dark clouds or difficult times, my love for my girl brings brightness and warmth to my life.

When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
Even in bleak or chilly times, my girl brings the joy and renewal of springtime.

I guess you'd say
I suppose you could say that my happiness is due to my girl.

What can make me feel this way?
I'm wondering what it is that makes me so happy and fulfilled, that fills me with sunshine and song in any season or circumstance.

My girl (my girl, my girl)
It's my girl who makes me feel this way, who inspires such devotion and love in me.

Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I'm singing about the one who makes my life complete, who is always there for me.

I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I have all the sweetness and goodness that one could ever want in a relationship, which makes others envious.

I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
The love I have for my girl is a beautiful and joyful melody, more lovely than any bird's song in nature.

Hey hey hey
This is a celebratory and upbeat shout, indicating how happy and joyful I feel with my girl in my life.

Ooh
This is an exclamation of deep pleasure and contentment, echoing the feelings that my girl brings me.

I don't need no money, fortune, or fame
There is nothing material or external that could make me happier than the love I have with my girl.

I've got all the riches baby one man can claim
The greatest treasure I have is the love of my girl, which is worth more than any other wealth or possessions.

With my girl
This phrase emphasizes how much I love and cherish my girl, and how much she is a part of my life and identity.

I've even got the month of May
Once again, my girl brings me joy and renewal, even in the midst of the coldest or most difficult of times.

Lyrics

All the pretty girls said pick me up at eight
All the pretty girls said I'm going to L.A.
All the pretty girls said I hate my hair
Talking to the mirror in their underwear

All the lost boys said I just got paid
All the lost boys said I wanna get laid
When the town goes blue and the lights blink red
All the lost boys do what all the pretty girls said

I'm home for the summer, shoot out the lights
Don't blow my cover, oh I'm free tonight
I'm coming over, call all your friends
Somebody hold me all the pretty girls said

All of the whiskey went to my head
Shut up and kiss me all the pretty girls said

All the sheriffs said kid you better slow down
All the preachers said it's the devils playground
I wonder if they knew they were wasting their breath
All I ever heard was all the pretty girls said

I'm home for the summer, shoot out the lights
Don't blow my cover, oh I'm free tonight
I'm coming over, call all your friends
Somebody hold me all the pretty girls said

All of the whiskey went to my head
Shut up and kiss me all the pretty girls said

All the seventeens said I'm getting outta dodge
All the big dreams said I'm selling all I got
All the high rollers busy placing their bets
Me, I'm heading south 'cause all the pretty girls said

I'm home for the summer, shoot out the lights
Don't blow my cover, oh I'm free tonight
I'm coming over, call all your friends
Somebody hold me all the pretty girls said

All of the whiskey went straight to my head
Shut up and kiss me all the pretty girls said

All the pretty girls said

When I first listened to this song, I thought it was one of his older songs from the 2000's. Then I realized it was new. That just proves how Kenny's style of country music hasn't really changed since he first started. He is my all time favorite. :)

I've listen to Kenny Chesney since the 90s back when my mom would blast his songs and I couldn't get enough! He's has had many number one hits and some flops for all the internet critics. For myself, I haven't found one song that Kenny has recorded that I can't love. Maybe everyone can't hear the love from this one but for me this song is Kenny at his best... Thank you Kenny Chesney!!

Hate to break to you but that's TOTALLY on you now. 21 going on 40? Why not have fun? Heck if you WERE 40 why not have fun? Before you ask I'm a lot closer to 40 then 21 now(not quite there) and still not going to "act my age" if you think that's what 40 is. May be when I'm 80 if I can't move around and be silly anymore I'll act that age, but until then I'm just gonna be me and be the strange one and have fun with life. I might not have those parties, but man I don't want to be OLD.
