Cheerleader
Pentatonix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I need motivation
My one solution is my queen 'cause she stays strong
Yeah, yeah

She is always in my corner right there when I want her
All these other girls are tempting but
I'm empty when you're gone and they say
"Do you need me?"
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
"Do I make you feel like cheatin'?"
I'm like, "No not really" 'cause, ooh
I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Ooh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her, ooh

Well she walks like a model
She grants my wishes like a genie in a bottle, saying, "Yeah, yeah"
I'm a wizard of love and I got the magic wand
All these other girls are tempting but I'm empty when you're gone

"Do you need me?"
"Tell me, do you think I'm pretty?"
"Do I make you feel like cheatin'?"
I'm like, "No not really" 'cause, ooh
I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Ooh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her, mm yeah

She gives me love and affection
Baby, did I mention, gives me love and affection
Baby, did I mention, gives me love and affection
Baby, did I mention, gives me love and affection
Baby, did I mention, gives me love and affection
Baby, did I mention, gives me love and affection
Baby, did I mention, gives me love and affection
Baby, did I mention, gives me

Ooh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her




Ooh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her

When I need motivation
My one solution is my queen
'Cause she stay strong (yeah yeah)
She is always in my corner
Right there when I want her
All these other girls are tempting
But I'm empty when you're gone

Do you think I'm pretty?
Do I make you feel like cheating?
And I'm like no, not really 'cause
Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader

Now all that's left to do
Is just for me to pop the question
Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
