I'm Not One Of Them
Lauren Alaina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You pull up in that jacked-up ride
Open the door on the passenger side
There’s a lot of girls who might
Wanna climb inside
But I’m not one of them
You start flashing that country boy grin
And your big city money clip
But I’m not one of them
[Chorus]
Baby, baby
You’re gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on
There’s a lot of girls who might
Just fall for what you got
But I’m not one of them
Now some may get into your kind of thing
That only you can make their little hearts sing
Well, you can go on thinking what you want to think
I’m not one of them
[Chorus]
I’m not some notch
On your Facebook wall
And I’m not some last chance
Midnight call
Baby
You’re gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on, yeah
You’re gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on
There’s a lot of girls
Who might just fall for what you got
But I’m not one of them
I’m not one of them
The lyrics of Lauren Alaina's "I'm Not One Of Them" is about a young woman who is uninterested in a man who flaunts his wealth and status. The song tells the story of a girl who is resistant to the charms and flash of a guy who pulls up to her in an expensive car, complete with a money clip, and a charming country boy grin, both of which are perceived as come-ons aimed at winning her over. The girl sees through his facade and remains steadfast in her stance of wanting a genuine connection, not a superficial flirtation. The song communicates the issues of intending to maintain a certain standard in relationships, the existence of deceptive people, and the need to stand up for oneself.
The chorus of the song outlines the main theme, as she delivers a stark message to the guy that he will have to do better than his shallow gestures if he wants to win her love. The lyrics emphasize the need for authentic love that is not based on a materialistic foundation or one founded on flashy material things. The song gives the impression of a young woman who is neither easily moved nor interested in men with superficial antics.
