Tokyo Girl
M. Pokora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Knew it when I lookeg at you
And you looked the other way
Had to make you understand
I wanted you to stay

So many here tonight but
I only see your face
You got me open now
Girl you give me something to chase

Baby set your mind free
Standing right in front of me
Tell me what it's gonna be
I can see you wanna dance
Why don't you just take my hand

Don't be scared to let it go
Don't be scared to let it go
Don't be scared baby let it go
You can be my Tokio girl
When you move across the floor
Looking so incredible
Don't be scared baby let it go
You should be my Tokio girl

It's such a foreign feeling
In such a foreign place
Red lights are everywhere
And girl it's getting late

Let's go somewhere where we can
Do what lovers do
I know we've never met
But I'm going crazy for you

Baby set your mind free
Standing right in front of me
Tell me what it's gonna be
I can see you wanna dance
So just take my hand, girl

Don't be scared to let it go
Don't be scared to let it go
Don't be scared baby let it go
You can be my Tokio girl
When you move across the floor
Looking so incredible
Don't be scared baby let it go
You should be my Tokio girl

Oh
Though I'm fighting my attraction
I can't help it
I need to know
If you really want it
If you're ready
Girl let's go

Oh
I can tell by your reaction
It's our time now
On the floor
If you really want it
If you're redy
Girl let's go

Don't be scared to let it go
Don't be scared to let it go
Don't be scared baby let it go
You can be my Tokio girl
When you move across the floor
Looking so incredible
Don't be scared baby let it go
You should be my Tokio girl

Don't be scared to let it go
Don't be scared to let it go
Don't be scared baby let it go
You can be my Tokio girl
When you move across the floor
Looking so incredible
Don't be scared baby let it go
You should be my Tokio girl

Don't be scared to let it go
Don't be scared to let it go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M. Pokora's song Tokyo Girl capture the feeling of being drawn to someone even in a foreign place. The singer knows that he wants this girl, but she doesn't seem to notice him at first. He urges her to let loose and dance with him, promising that he'll take care of her. The red lights and the late hour only intensify the sense of urgency in the lyrics.


As the song progresses, the singer keeps encouraging her to come with him and let go of her fears. He can tell that she's attracted to him as well and invites her to go somewhere where they can be alone together. The lyrics build to a climax where the two finally dance together and the singer realizes that this girl is someone who he wants to be with.


Overall, the lyrics are about taking risks, letting go of fear and taking a chance on love, even if the stakes feel high.

Knew it when I looked at you
I realized my interest in you right from the first glance


And you looked the other way

I wanted you to be with me


So many here tonight but
There are many people around us currently, yet


I only see your face

It's late now

You would make the perfect companion for me in Tokyo

Once again, don't be afraid to express yourself
