Could U Be
Mario Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was the only one for me
And Nikki had those angel eyes
That changed my mind
The day she looked at me
Then outta nowhere you came walking in my life
You really blew my mind
Now I don't care about those other girls
[Chorus]
Excuse me my see you-tie
Tell me could you be the kinda shorty
Just for me
My everlasting meant to be
(Oh girl) oh girl (Mario)
From the moment I saw you
(My heart starts racing)
And I can't let you walk away
So won't you tell me girl (girl)
Could you the kinda cutie that I need
My one, my destiny (Mario)
Lil lady tell me could you be
Not sayin' Trina wasn't cool
But you changed my point of view, baby
Chantel was nice sweet and everythang
But nothin' compares to you (yeah)
You stole my heart and I'm torn apart
I don't want to cause the pain girl
I would gladly throw it all away
For what I found in you today
[Chorus]
Oh you could be my summer thang
And there's a price that won't tell me
Have I finally, finally found you baby
You see I've been a playa
But I'm tired of playin'
Been waitin' for a love like you
And I'm not fakin' (I'm not fakin')
You came into my life
And I feel so brand new (so brand new)
I'm so thankful for you, girl I swear
[Chorus]
Excuse me, my see you-tie tell me
Could you be the kinda shorty
Just for me
My everlasting meant to be (mmm meant to be)
(Oh girl) oh girl (Mario)
From the moment I saw you (hey yeah)
(My heart starts racing)
And I can't let you walk away
So won't you tell me, girl (girl)
Could you be the kinda cutie that I need
My one, my destiny
Lil lady tell me could you be
Say you'll love it, baby
The song "Could U Be" by Mario talks about a man who was previously involved with various women, including Lisa, Nikki, Trina, and Chantel. However, when he meets the person addressed in the song, he is completely smitten by her, and now, he doesn't care about those other girls anymore; it is only her that he needs in his world. He reminisces about how she came into his life unexpectedly and stole his heart, leaving him torn between his past and what he has found in her. He asks her if she could be the one meant for him, his everlasting love, someone who he has been waiting for; he is willing to throw it all away for what he has found in her. In simpler terms, the song is about a man searching for true love and wondering if the person before him could be the one.

Lisa had me thinkin' that she
I was convinced that Lisa was the only girl for me
Was the only one for me
I thought Lisa was my soulmate
And Nikki had those angel eyes
Nikki's beautiful eyes made me consider her
That changed my mind
I realized that Nikki could be a better choice than Lisa
The day she looked at me
Her gaze had a profound impact on me
Then outta nowhere you came walking in my life
Unexpectedly, you entered my life
You really blew my mind
You impressed me a lot
Now I don't care about those other girls
I don't want any other girls except you
It's only you I need in my world baby...
You are the only one I want to be with
