Business girls
Le Sport Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when I was playing different sounds on my guitar
we were lovers since the day we met
since you said I look like Chet and I said you look like Brett from Suede
but summer is running away from me
I wanted to but I can’t stay
or go to business school and learn about romance
god bless you business girls
god bless you business girls
I cannot get enough of you
business girls you mean the world to no good boys like me
you came in to my life when business girls would cut like knives
I want to take you out tonight but business girls prefer a drought to draught
in Indian bars and cars to stars of no good pop bands like ours
The song "Business Girls" by Le Sport describes the singer's relationship with a woman who he initially found attractive because she told him he looked like Chet (Baker) and he said she looked like Brett (Anderson) from Suede. They became lovers since the day they met. However, the singer knows that summer is running out and he can't stay with her. He contemplates going to business school to learn about romance. The chorus is a tribute to the "business girls" who the singer admires and cannot get enough of. The song ends with a complaint that the business girls would rather hang out in Indian bars and cars than with pop stars like him.
The lyrics suggest a sense of longing and unfulfilled desires on the part of the singer. The woman he loves is simply too busy with her career to spend much time with him. It's possible that the singer feels inferior to the "business girls" and their professional successes. The reference to going to business school to learn about romance suggests that the singer feels a bit lost and out of touch with what it takes to be successful in love.
Overall, "Business Girls" is a poignant and somewhat wistful portrayal of a relationship that is never quite enough. The singer's admiration for the "business girls" feels genuine, but it's also tinged with a hint of envy and insecurity.
