You're Too Cool For Me
Matt Champion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can′t love like you're growing on tree (you're too cool for me)
Tell me why, you′re too cool for me (you′re too cool for me)
You get boys like they're growing on trees
(You′re too cool for me, for me, for me)
You're my fantasy, alone in my room
Dancin′ with the lights on, alone in my room
And I just need you here, and not in my head
Got me on your lasso (reel me in, reel me in)
Got me where you want me (reel me in, reel me in)
And I don′t know how I fell for you (fell for you)
But I know you're too cool for me
You're too cool for me (you′re too cool for me)
You can′t love like you're growing on tree (you′re too cool for me)
Tell me why, you're too cool for me (you′re too cool for me)
You get boys like they're growing on trees
(You′re too cool for me, for me, for me)
I found you in the bathroom
All alone, all alone
I found you in the bedroom
All alone, all alone
I wish you were real
I wish you were
I know we were real
I know we were
Got me on your lasso (reel me in, reel me in)
Got me on where you want me (reel me in, reel me in)
And I don't know how I fell for you (fell for you)
But I know you're too cool for me
You′re too cool for me (you′re too cool for me)
You can't love like you′re growing on tree (you're too cool for me)
Tell me why, you′re too cool for me (you're too cool for me)
You get boys like they′re growing on trees
(You're too cool for me, for me, for me)
You're too cool for me (you′re too cool for me)
You can′t love like you're growing on tree (you′re too cool for me)
Tell me why, you're too cool for me
"You're too cool for me" is a song by Matt Champion, one of the members of popular boyband Brockhampton. In this song, Matt is lamenting about how he is not good enough for a girl that he likes. He feels that she is too cool for him and that he can never reach her level. He even says that she can't love like she's growing on a tree, which can be interpreted as her being too picky about who she loves. The chorus is particularly telling, as Matt repeats that she gets boys like they're growing on trees, which can be seen as his frustration with her seemingly effortless ability to attract anyone.
The verse "You're my fantasy, alone in my room dancing with the lights on" is an insight into Matt's private thoughts. He dreams about this girl, but knows that his attraction to her is only in his mind. He wishes that she was real but knows that he can never have her. The lyrics "got me on your lasso, reel me in" and "got me where you want me" can be interpreted as the girl having a hold on him, and the line "I don't know how I fell for you, but I know you're too cool for me" shows how Matt feels that he has no control over his feelings for her.
The song is a relatable and honest portrayal of unrequited love and the feelings of inadequacy that come with it. Through his lyrics, Matt Champion has shown his vulnerability and insecurities, making the song an emotional and impactful one.
