That Girl
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Went out with the guys,
And before my eyes,
There was this girl she looked so fine,
And she blew my mind,
And I wish that she was mine.
And I said hey wait up 'cause I'm off to speak to her
You're never gonna get that girl, never gonna get that girl,
I don't care.
You're never gonna get that girl, never gonna get that girl,
And I loved her long blond hair,
Love was in the air.
You're never gonna get that girl, never gonna get that girl,
She looked at me,
You're never gonna get that girl, never gonna get that girl,
And the rest is history.
Dude you're being silly cause your never gonna get that girl,
And your never gonna get the girl.
We spoke for hours,
She took off my trousers,
Spent the day laughing in the sun,
We had fun.
And my friends they all looked stunned,
(Yeah yeah)
Dude she's amazing and I can't believe you got that girl.
My friends said she's amazing and I can't believe you got that girl,
She gave me more street cred.
I took the book she read
How could I forget,
She rocks my world.
More than any other girl,
Dude she's amazing and I can't believe uve got that girl
And I can't believe you got the girl
She looked incredible
Just turned seventeen
I guess my friends were right
She's out of my league
What am I to do?
She's too good to be true
One, two, three, four
But three days later went round to see her
But she was with another guy
And I said fine but I never asked her why
And since then loneliness has been a friend of mine
My friends said such a pity
I let her slip away
They tell me every day
That it will be okay
Yeah she rocks my world
More than any other girl yeah
Dude its such a pity and I'm sorry that you lost that girl
And I'm sorry that you lost that girl
The song "That Girl" by McFly tells the story of a boy who sees a beautiful girl while out with his friends, and is immediately smitten. He is determined to speak to her despite his friends telling him that he has no chance, but he goes ahead anyway. He spends the day with the girl, having fun and talking for hours. The boy's friends are amazed that he has managed to get the girl and commend him for it. However, the boy eventually loses the girl to another guy, and he is left feeling lonely and regretful.
The lyrics of the song convey the feelings of infatuation, determination, and regret. The boy is drawn to the girl from the moment he sees her and is willing to take a chance and speak to her, even though his friends doubt his ability to win her over. The day spent with the girl is full of happy memories and the boy feels proud of himself for managing to get her, but this happiness is fleeting, as he eventually loses her. The song is a bittersweet representation of the ups and downs of teenage romance.
