Boys
Pharrell Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nodding my head just moving
My girlfriend dragged me to this place
Staring at the crowd like we do
I saw this guy through the people
And that's when I saw your face
But you came over to me
As sweet as can be
Started stepping
What else did I need to know
I said yes if you wanted to go
'Cause you are heaven
But you left me here
So I gotta see that boy again
'Cause I wanna feel that joy again
I remember leaning on his shoulder
Something and Cola
What he ordered
That's why I, I am on this floor again
I wanna see that boy again
Listen to me
My girlfriend says introduce her
But I ain't gonna lie, I wanna lose her
You're so nice you want to pay
Ooh you have a way with females
I didn't get your number or email
What the hell was in my brain
'Cause I know that you believe
But I couldn't let you see that I was stressing
I lost breath and
Then you grabbed your Mercedes keys
But you paused before you leave
And I just stood there
Like I didn't have a care
So I gotta see that boy again
'Cause I gotta feel that joy again
I remember leaning on his shoulder
Something and Cola
What he ordered
That's why I, I am on this floor again
I wanna see that boy again
Listen to me
It's like the part in a movie
That get away
Oh no, not the person you want
The person you want is losing
So you pray
But the circumstances, changes course
Which is entirely up to the boss
But remember
Just because it's written don't mean you can't play
Your hand to change your fate
So I wanna see that boy again
'Cause I wanna feel that joy again
I remember leaning on his shoulder
Something and Cola
What he ordered
And so I, I'm on this floor
I'm on this floor looking for you
Where did you go
Where did you go
I'm on this floor
I don't wanna leave without you baby
Where is my baby

I remember standing there grooving
I recall being there and moving to the music
Nodding my head just moving
I was nodding my head and swaying to the beat
My girlfriend dragged me to this place
My girlfriend brought me to the venue
Staring at the crowd like we do
We were looking at the crowd, as we often do
I saw this guy through the people
I spotted a guy in the crowd
And that's when I saw your face
I saw your face at that moment
But you came over to me
You approached me
As sweet as can be
You were very kind
And grabbed my left hand
You took my left hand
Started stepping
We started dancing together
What else did I need to know
I didn't need to know anything else in that moment
I said yes if you wanted to go
I agreed to go with you if you asked
'Cause you are heaven
Because you are amazing
But you left me here
But you left me behind
So I gotta see that boy again
I need to see that guy again
'Cause I wanna feel that joy again
Because I want to feel that happiness again
I remember leaning on his shoulder
I recall leaning on his shoulder
Something and Cola
I don't know what he was drinking
What he ordered
I don't know what he ordered to drink
That's why I, I am on this floor again
That's why I am back on the dance floor
Listen to me
Pay attention to what I am saying
My girlfriend says introduce her
My girlfriend wants me to introduce her to you
But I ain't gonna lie, I wanna lose her
But I have to be honest, I want to break up with her
You're so nice you want to pay
You are so kind you want to pay for things
Ooh you have a way with females
You are very good with women
I didn't get your number or email
I didn't ask for your contact information
What the hell was in my brain
What was I thinking?
'Cause I know that you believe
Because I know that you have faith
But I couldn't let you see that I was stressing
But I couldn't let you see that I was anxious
I lost breath and
I was out of breath and
Then you grabbed your Mercedes keys
Then you took your car keys for your Mercedes
But you paused before you leave
But you hesitated before leaving
And I just stood there
And I just remained standing there
Like I didn't have a care
As if I didn't care at all
It's like the part in a movie
It's like a scene in a movie
That get away
The moment that gets away
Oh no, not the person you want
Oh no, not the person you desire
The person you want is losing
The person you want is slipping away
So you pray
So you hope and pray
But the circumstances, changes course
But the situation changes direction
Which is entirely up to the boss
Which is completely in the hands of fate
But remember
But keep in mind
Just because it's written don't mean you can't play
Just because something is predetermined, it doesn't mean you can't change it with your actions
Your hand to change your fate
Your actions can change the course of your life
I don't wanna leave without you baby
I don't want to leave without you, baby
Where is my baby
Where are you, my baby
