Anybody
May and December Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh, what those five foot could do
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose
Never had no other beaus
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a
Five foot two, covered with fur
Diamond rings and all those things
Betcha' life it isn't here
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?

Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh, what those five foot could do
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose
Never had no other beaus
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a
Five foot two, covered with fur
Diamond rings and all those things
Betcha' life it isn't here




But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?

Overall Meaning

The song "Has Anybody Seen My Girl?" by May and December is a catchy tune with a simple but classic melody. The lyrics tell a story of a man searching for his lost love, describing her features and unique qualities. The chorus repeats the line "Has anybody seen my girl?" as he hopes to be reunited with her.


The first verse describes the woman's physical features: she is five feet two inches tall with blue eyes, but her height is not what makes her special. The second line describes her abilities, suggesting that she is capable of much more than her stature implies. The second verse goes on to describe her personality, implying that she is loyal and has never had any other romantic partners. The woman remains elusive, leaving the singer with the question, "Has anybody seen my girl?"


The third verse is a humorous twist on the first two, as the singer reassures listeners that if they see a five-foot-two person covered in fur with diamond rings, it's not his lost love. The verse ends with the same question as before, wondering if anyone has seen his girl and if she is capable of love and wooing.


Overall, the song is a fun and lighthearted take on the classic love story of a man searching for his partner. The chorus is catchy and memorable, making it an easy song to sing along to.

This movie is basically celebrating a relationship that is basically sexual abuse . Minors cannot consent to a sexual relationship. It’s ridiculous!

@film79

Looks boring so I won't watch it but that said the trailer didn't look to be celebrating sexual abuse. It looks pretty dark and depressing tbh.

@JustListen2Mi

They told you they were going to normalize p3dophelia ... so, here they go...

@chococat1313

I think the movie will take a more critical lens. I am hoping their relationship will not be portrayed positively in any way, because as you said it is 100% child sexual abuse.

@javiersilva1577

If it was a man with a little girl everyone would yell pedophile. But since it was a women, everyone will yell, “She’s so stunning and brave.”

@ashleywatkins1380

This infuriates me. The fact that a movie would be made about this person and type of abuse is BEYOND sick!

@WilliamsPinch

I think that’s the point of the movie….

@XoTW0D
