Naughty Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I guess what they say is true
I could never be the right type of girl for you

I could never be your women

Yo Out every night I'm in the spotlight
With another girl knowing that it's not right
Ain't gonna work Stop trying
Had enough this time Your Not Lying
Tho your feeling the pain but Your not crying
Can't take me I'm on another page
Were the babes wanna take me home
I was out all night Didn't make it home
That's More lying
Pull up in the aston Get out the car
Quick jump the que No hiding
Flash (Flash)
Lettin everybody no I got cash
Shower burp when Dining
8 diamond rings there all shining
Bare designers plus I'm designing
Block everybody out when I'm writing
I'm on a hype ting!

Well I guess what they say is true
I could never be the right type of girl for you

I could never be your women

Leave the country No warning
Club swimming Women swarming
See a new ting Get Talking
Get acquainted Start Walking
That's when I start promising the world
Even tho I got a women at home that's past talking
I don't wanna get past talking
I got a yard but let's go to your crib
Air Freshener
Wild orchid
What would he get? If she caught him
He would get a punch in the face like Norbit
Turn around Ignore him
Look away like you never saw him
To hold me down might be awkward
Sighted with another women in Shoreditch
My house I pay the mortgage

Well I guess what they say is true
I could never be the right type of girl for you

I could never be your women

Well I guess what they say is true
I could never be the right type of girl for you





I could never be your women

Overall Meaning

In this song, Naughty Boy sings about how he knows he could never be the right type of woman for someone he cares for deeply. He describes his lifestyle of going out every night, being in the spotlight and his unsatisfying relationships with different women. Naughty Boy expresses that he is aware that he has hurt and caused pain to his partner, but he cannot change who he is. He seems to be remorseful for his actions and character but finds himself incapable of changing himself to be a better partner. By describing women swarming him everywhere he goes and his inability to resist them, the singer shows his weakness in his relationships. By persisting in this lifestyle and continuing his infidelity, Naughty Boy acknowledges that he could never be the right type of woman for his partner.


The song is a remix of a classic song by White Town, "Your Woman". The core meaning of the chorus "I could never be your woman" is a play on the original song, which was sung by a man. The '90s song is about a woman who doesn't want to be defined or owned by a man, and instead, prefers to remain independent. Naughty Boy, however, takes a different approach with his version; he uses it as an ode to his partner, acknowledging that he can never be the type of woman she deserves, but also indicating that he tried.
