Simple Girl
Kiley Dean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Other girls and although I'd hate to
Be the one to break you the bad news
It's a must and I know I have to
I've seen you around flossin' your sports car
At the lounge buyin' up the whole bar
Now don't get me wrong
You're a sweet heart
Cause I know
You got a little dough
And that's cool with me
You say you can provide everything I need (Oh)
But I don't' need your car or your jewelry
To keep me satisfied
Come through for me
Take me for a ride up and down the coast (Up and down he coast)
You aint gotta try hard doin' the most (Doin' the most)
Money can't supply all I need in this world
That's the bottom line
I'm a simple girl
That's the bottom line
I'm a simple girl
That's the bottom line
I'm a simple girl
You claim you got at me cause I'm cool
Cause I'm different from what your use to
And baby I don't mean to be rude
But your pockets aint what I'm into
Just give me a reason to believe that
I mean more to you then your Cadillac
Just spending your time on me
Not your cash
Make an impression
It's gonna last
Cause I know that
You got a little dough
And that's cool with me (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
You say you can provide everything I need
But I don't' need your car or your jewelry (Car or your jewelry)
To keep me satisfied
Come through for me (Come through for me)
Take me for a ride up and down the coast (Up and down the coast)
You aint gotta try hard doin' the most (Doin' the most)
Money can't supply all I need in this world
That's the bottom line (That's the bottom line)
I'm a simple girl (I'm a simple girl)
That's the bottom line
I'm a simple girl
That's the bottom line
I'm a simple girl
I just wanna be your
I just wanna be your lady
You aint gotta buy me baby (Buy me baby)
Even though it might sound crazy (Oh, yeah)
I want you
But you need to (You need to)
Show me that you need more from me
Then some way to spend your money (Spend your money)
Even though this might sound funny
It's real though
Cause I know (Cause I know)
That's the bottom line (That's the bottom line)
I'm a simple girl
That's the bottom line
I'm a simple girl(I'm a simple girl)
That's the bottom line (Oh, yeah)
I'm a simple girl (I'm a simple girl)
That's the bottom line
I'm a simple girl (Simple girl, yeah)
That's the bottom line
I'm a simple girl (Oh)
That's the bottom line
I'm a simple girl (Simple girl)
In "Simple Girl," Kiley Dean addresses a guy whom she believes is too focused on his wealth and material possessions. She acknowledges that he can provide her with all the luxuries she could ever ask for, but she is a simple girl and doesn't need his money or material possessions to make her happy. Kiley then calls on him to prove that he needs her for more than just a way to spend his money because she's not interested in dating someone who can only offer her that.
Through the lyrics, Kiley encourages the guy to focus on building a meaningful and long-lasting relationship, rather than relying on his financial status. The chorus emphasizes that money cannot buy everything and won't satisfy her heart. Kiley wants him to show her that he genuinely cares for her, rather than just showering her with gifts and material possessions.
Overall, "Simple Girl" is a powerful message about the importance of true love and meaningful relationships, even in a world that glorifies wealth and material possessions.
Line by Line Meaning
I've seen the way you relate to
I have observed the manner in which you interact with
Other girls and although I'd hate to
Females other than myself, and although I would prefer not to
Be the one to break you the bad news
Inform you of the unfortunate truth
It's a must and I know I have to
I am obligated and aware that I must do so
I've seen you around flossin' your sports car
I've observed you proudly showing off your automobile
At the lounge buyin' up the whole bar
At the establishment, seemingly purchasing the entire bar
Now don't get me wrong
Please do not misunderstand me
You're a sweet heart
You are a kind-hearted individual
But sometimes you be goin' to far
However, at times you go too far
Cause I know
Because I am aware
You got a little dough
You possess a small amount of money
And that's cool with me
And I am unbothered by that fact
You say you can provide everything I need (Oh)
You claim to be able to fulfill all my needs
But I don't' need your car or your jewelry
However, I do not require your automobile or jewelry
To keep me satisfied
In order for me to be content
Come through for me
Assist me
Take me for a ride up and down the coast (Up and down he coast)
Accompany me on a drive along the coast (up and down)
You aint gotta try hard doin' the most (Doin' the most)
You do not need to make excessive effort
Money can't supply all I need in this world
Monetary resources cannot satisfy all my needs in this world
That's the bottom line
That is the ultimate conclusion
I'm a simple girl
I am a woman who is not particularly complicated or demanding
You claim you got at me cause I'm cool
You assert that you pursued me due to my perceived coolness
Cause I'm different from what your use to
Because I differ from what you are accustomed to
And baby I don't mean to be rude
I do not wish to be impolite, my dear
But your pockets aint what I'm into
However, I am not interested in your financial status
Just give me a reason to believe that
Provide me a rationale to be convinced that
I mean more to you then your Cadillac
I am of greater importance to you than your Cadillac
Just spending your time on me
Merely dedicating your time to me
Not your cash
As opposed to your money
Make an impression
Leave a lasting positive mark on me
It's gonna last
That impact will endure
I just wanna be your
I simply desire to be your
I just wanna be your lady
I desire to be your female romantic partner
You aint gotta buy me baby (Buy me baby)
You do not need to purchase things for me, my dear
Even though it might sound crazy (Oh, yeah)
Although it may seem foolish
But you need to (You need to)
However, you must
Show me that you need more from me
Demonstrate to me that you desire more than material possessions from me
Then some way to spend your money (Spend your money)
Rather than a means to use your wealth
Even though this might sound funny
Even though it may be amusing
It's real though
It is, nonetheless, genuine
That's the bottom line (That's the bottom line)
That is the final conclusion
I'm a simple girl (I'm a simple girl)
I am a woman who is not particularly complicated or demanding
