Single
Lisa Ft. Asher Roth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I push the pen around
Something made me think of you
I jump into a cab going downtown
Do you know what I really want?
I don't know what I really want
Do you know what's going on?
Single me out, you've got my number
(You've got my number)
If you wanna be my number one, single me out
There'll be no other
(There'll be no other)
If you wanna be my number one, single me out
In a coffee shop on Sullivan
I pretend to read a magazine
While I look over my shoulder to see
If you're there looking for me
Do you know what's going on?
'Cause I know what's going on
Yeah, I know what I really want
What I really want
Single me out, you've got my number
(You've got my number)
If you wanna be my number one single me out
There'll be no other
(There'll be no other)
If you wanna be my number one single me out
Tell me, can you hear me?
'Cause I'm thinking out loud
Tell me, would you pick me
Out of the crowd?
Yeah, I know what I really want
'Cause I know what's going on
Yeah, I know what I really want
What's going on
Single me out, you've got my number
(You've got my number)
If you wanna be my number one, single me out
There'll be no other
(There'll be no other)
If you wanna be my number one, single me out
You've got my number
(You've got my number)
If you wanna be my number one, single me out
So many numbers
(So many numbers)
If you wanna be my number one, single me out
The first verse of the song "Single" by Lisa Ft. Asher Roth talks about the singer being in her apartment on Eleventh Street and thinking about someone. The song's lyrics suggest that this person is on her mind, and she takes a cab to go downtown to look for that person. However, the lyrics also say that the singer doesn't know what she really wants or what's going on, indicating her confusion and uncertainty about the situation.
In the chorus, the singer is asking to be singled out by the person she's thinking about. She wants this person to be her number one and doesn't want any other competition. The verse after the chorus, the singer then mentions being inside a coffee shop on Sullivan, pretending to read a magazine while keeping an eye out for the person she's thinking of.
The last verse of the song repeats the previous verse's sentiment, and the chorus is the same, where the singer asks to be singled out by the person she has in mind. The song's overall message is that the singer wants to be seen and chosen by the person she wants to be with, and she hopes that person will "single her out" and choose her as their number one.
