Little Boy
Nicole Scherzinger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day
Your love will impress me
Not fancy cars or diamond rings
When it's all about the little things
Little boy
Little boy

Someday you'll see what I see
But chances are
You'll see with me
When it's all about the little things
Little boy
Little boy

One day
I'll come home to flowers
And look at him and say
"Babe, I love you"
One day someone will lay with me for hours
And that will be the day

But you're not the one
You're not the one
Boy, you're not the one
You're not the one
Oh, you're not the one

One day
You will look for me
But in his arms is where I'll be
When I've shed myself of you and me

Little boy
Little boy
One day
You will try to call

But someone else picks up the phone
And at that moment
You'll know I'm gone
Little boy
Little boy

One day
I'll come home to flowers
And look at him and say
"Babe, I love you"
One day
I'll lay with someone for hours
That will be the day

But you're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one
Baby, you're not the one

Little boy
Grow up
Maybe that man will show up
It's not cool to miss what you had
Even a fool could see that

Little boy
Grow up
Maybe that man will show up
It's not cool to miss what you had
Even a fool could see that

One day
I'll come home to flowers
And look at him and say
"Babe, I love you"
One day
I'll lay with someone for hours
That will be the day

But you're not the one
No, you're not the one
Oh, you're not the one




No, you're not the one
You're not the one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nicole Scherzinger's Little Boy describe a situation where the singer finds her current love interest wanting. She envisions a future where she will be with someone who shows her love in the little things and is willing to spend time with her, something that her current partner is unable to provide. She longs for a partner who will bring her flowers, spend hours with her, and show her love in little ways, without relying on material possessions like fancy cars and diamond rings. The song also highlights the eventual end of the relationship and how the singer will move on and find the kind of love she deserves.


The lyrics of Little Boy convey a sense of longing for true love, where the little things matter more than material possessions. The use of the term little boy seems to be referring to the singer's current love interest, who is childish and unable to meet her emotional needs. The lines "But you're not the one/You're not the one/Boy, you're not the one/You're not the one/Oh, you're not the one," repeated multiple times, make it clear that the singer is dissatisfied with the current status of the relationship and is looking for something more substantial.


Overall, Little Boy is a poignant reminder that true love is not just about material possessions, but about the little things that make life worth living. It highlights the importance of emotional connection, spending quality time with one another, and showing love and affection in meaningful ways. The lyrics suggest that the singer is ready to move on from a relationship that is unfulfilling and look for someone who is willing to share all aspects of life, including the simplest pleasures.
