Girl
Paul Carrack Lyrics

Ohhh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
The singer is afraid of being lost without their partner

Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
The singer doesn't know where else they would be able to find love if their partner were to leave

Ohhhhhhhh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
The singer repeats their fear to emphasize how much they depend on their partner

Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
The singer is emphasizing the fact that they are lost without their partner and have no idea where else they would be able to find love

It started off, we were two peas in the pod
The singer is reflecting on the beginning of their relationship

Motivated by love with the blessings of God
The relationship was founded with love and spirituality

We were head over heels in this love thang
Both partners were deeply in love with each other

Funny ain't it thinkin back, our friends thought it was just a fling
The couple's friends initially didn't think the relationship was serious

I used to call you on the phone, late night tip
The singer reminisces about how they used to talk to their partner on the phone late at night

Mackin' to you in your ear, conversation well equipped
The singer would have conversations with their partner that made them feel good and loved

I used to make you laugh, I used to make you smile
The singer prides themselves on the fact that they used to bring joy to their partner

But all the while your roommates were in denial
The partner's roommates didn't approve of the relationship

We felt a lot of jealousy from the very start
Jealousy was present in the relationship from the beginning

Your so-called friends kept tryin to tear us apart
The partner's friends tried to end the relationship

They used to tell you all kinda lies
The partner's friends would spread rumors about the relationship

Just like a wolf in sheep's clothing, the devil came in disguise
The singer feels that the partner's friends were sneaky and deceptive

They transformed all your smiles into tears
The partner's friends caused a lot of sadness and heartbreak

To sabotage your happiness and blamed it on my busy career
The partner's friends blamed the singer's work for the problems in the relationship

But I guess it wasn't enough, cause now you ready to leave
Despite the singer's efforts to make the relationship work, their partner is considering leaving

What it do baby, don't leave me hangin baby
The singer does not want their partner to leave and asks them to stay

I know you feelin this, I'm just sayin though
The singer believes that their partner still loves them, and wants that love to continue

Lil' momma been down with me for a while
The singer has been in a relationship with their partner for a long time

When you tryin to smile I'm the one you like to dial
The partner calls the singer when they are happy

But lately I've been on a mission for commission
The singer has been focused on making money

So while you at home wishin you was with me I've been missin
While the partner wishes they could spend time with the singer, the singer has been too busy working

I got a vision so baby you need to kill all the fiction
The singer has a goal that they are working hard for and wants their partner to support them

You know I keep it real, just let me tell you somethin
The singer wants to be honest and upfront with their partner about their intentions

But I ain't trippin I'm in love with my money baby that's how I'm livin
The singer values money, but still cares deeply for their partner

You got them insecure thoughts in your mind
The partner is insecure about their relationship with the singer

'Cause they on the sidelines watchin while you in the game playin
The partner's friends are envious of the relationship

I'm just on my grind tryin to stack me up some ends baby
The singer is trying to make money to support themselves and their partner

Either you're down with me or not, baby what's the deal
The singer is giving their partner an ultimatum about the relationship

You ridin' shotgun in the James Bond Benz
The partner is riding in the passenger seat of a luxury car

So why you worried about your jealous so-called friends
The singer thinks the partner should ignore their friends' opinions and focus on the relationship

I ain't askin' much, lil' momma just keep it real
The singer wants their partner to be honest and open with them

While they be over there complainin I'm just on my grind paper chasin
The singer is focused on their work and wants their partner to support them

You got them insecure thoughts in your mind
The partner is struggling with insecurity in the relationship

But instead of chasin' hoes I be overtime on my grind
The singer is not cheating on their partner and is focused on their work

All them jealous single females want what you got
Other women are jealous of the relationship that the singer has with their partner

They would do anythang to take yo' place
Other women would try to replace the partner with themselves if given the opportunity

'Cause everytime I come around they be givin' me that sex face
Other women are attracted to the singer because of their success and money

But you just thank I'm in the streets chasin after some ass
The partner is worried that the singer is cheating on them

Tryin' to break that bread, I'm tryin to get that cake
The singer is working hard to make money to support themselves and their partner

But you complainin' talkin' 'bout you fin' to skate, baby what it do
The partner is threatening to leave the relationship, which frustrates the singer
