Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit
Neil Patrick Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's Barney been drinking?
That girl was smoking hot
Yes I coulda nailed her
But no it's not a failure
'Cause there's one thing she is not
To score a ten would be just fine
But I'd rather be dressed to the nines
Nothing suits me like a suit
Picture a world where all the boys and girls
Are impeccably well dressed
That delivery guy in the jacket and tie
That puppy in the double-breast
That '80s dude with mutton chops
That baby with a lollipop
That lady cop who's kinda cute
Nothing suits 'em like a suit
Wingman I can wear (suits)
They're oh so debonair (suits)
The perfect way to snare
A girl with daddy issues (suits)
In navy blue or black
Check out this perfect rack
I want to give them a squeeze
Oh really? Then answer these questions
If you please
What would you do if you had to choose
Between your suits and a pot of gold?
Suits
What would you say
If you gave your suits away
In return you'd never grow old?
Suits
What would you pick
One million chicks
Or a single three-piece suit?
It's moot
What if world peace
Were within your reach
Ah I'm gonna stop you right there
It's suits. Come on, Lily
Get your head outta your ass
Two, Three, Four
Girls will go and girls will come
But there's only one absolute
Every bro on the go needs to know
That there's no accepted substitute
I'm sorry suits, let's make amends
My Sunday best are my best friends
Send casual Friday down the laundry chute
'Cause nothing suits the undisputed oft-saluted suitor of repute
Like a
Wait for it
Suit
Barny Stinson likes a suit
A suit, a suit, a suit, a suit
In the song "Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit," Neil Patrick Harris' character, Barney Stinson, expresses his love for suits and his belief that nothing can compare to the feeling of wearing a perfectly tailored suit. He introduces the idea that he could have had a chance with a very attractive woman, but he would rather dress to impress than try to score with her. He then goes on to describe a world where everyone dresses impeccably, including animals and fictional characters. He uses the suit as a tool to attract women and is convinced that nothing can compare to its power.
The lyrics of the song reflect the character Barney Stinson's love for suits and his belief in their power to attract and impress others. The song also adds a layer of humor and satire with the idea of everyone, including fictional characters and animals, wearing suits.

However, my night was not a failure
'Cause there's one thing she is not
The girl is not suitable or compatible for me
To score a ten would be just fine
Having sex with a very attractive woman would be nice
But I'd rather be dressed to the nines
But I prefer to be very well-dressed
It's a truth you can't refute
This is an undeniable fact
Nothing suits me like a suit
I look my best when I'm wearing a suit

Imagine a place where everyone is well-dressed and fashionable

If you don't mind
What would you do if you had to choose
What would you do if you had to pick between two options?
Between your suits and a pot of gold?
Which would you choose between owning suits or owning a pot of gold?
Suits
Suits are more important
What would you say
What answer would you give?
If you gave your suits away
If you gave away your suits
In return you'd never grow old?
Would you give up suits to never age?
Suits
No, suits are too important
What would you pick
Which option would you choose?
One million chicks
A million women
Or a single three-piece suit?
Or one three-piece suit?
It's moot
It's not relevant
What if world peace
What if there was peace in the world?
Were within your reach
If peace was achievable
Ah I'm gonna stop you right there
I'm interrupting you
It's suits. Come on, Lily
The answer is still suits, even if the question changes
Get your head outta your ass
Please stop being obtuse
Girls will go and girls will come
Women come and go from my life
But there's only one absolute
However, there's one undeniable fact
Every bro on the go needs to know
Every man on the move should understand
That there's no accepted substitute
There's nothing as good as a suit
I'm sorry suits, let's make amends
I apologize to my suits for suggesting they weren't important
My Sunday best are my best friends
I like my Sunday best clothes
Send casual Friday down the laundry chute
Disregard casual Friday clothing
'Cause nothing suits the undisputed oft-saluted suitor of repute
Nothing looks as good as a suit on an impressive man
Like a
Just like a…
Wait for it
Wait and see…
Suit
It's a suit (again)
