Call Your Girlfriend
Lennon & Maisy Stella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give your reasons, say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
Tell her not to get upset,
Second guessing everything you said and done
And when she gets upset tell her
How you never meant to hurt no one
And tell her that the only way her heart will mend
But it won't make sense right now
'Cause you're still her friend and that you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend, I think it's time you talked (time you talked)
Give your reasons, (ohhh) say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
And tell her when I give you something
That you never even knew you missed
Don't even try and explain
How it's so different when we kiss
And tell her that the only way her heart will mend
Is when she learns to love again
But it won't make sense right now
'Cause you're still her friend and that you let her down easy
In Lennon & Maisy Stella's song "Call Your Girlfriend", the lyrics talk about a person who has just met someone new and wants to break up with their current girlfriend. The singer is urging this person to have a conversation with their girlfriend and explain that their relationship ending is not her fault. They advise the person to tell their current girlfriend not to be upset and to reassure her that they never intended to hurt her. The singer acknowledges that it will take time for her to understand and move on, but she will learn to love again.
However, the singer also suggests that the person should tell their girlfriend about the differences they feel when they're with this new person, indicating that the relationship with the current girlfriend was lacking. Despite the singer urging the person to have the difficult conversation, they also encourage them to let their girlfriend down easy as they were still friends.
The lyrics speak to a complex situation where a person is in love with someone else, but they must hurt someone they once cared for to pursue that love. The song's melody is upbeat and energetic, which contrasts the sad nature of the lyrics. Lennon & Maisy Stella's harmonies add a layer of sweetness to the song and make it easy to get lost in the catchy chorus.
