Pink/Scratch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was all a bunch of mush that I just did not want
Paid was the issue of the day
If a girlfriend's got some game
Couldn't be more fly, gettin' paid was everything
But I'm not every girl and I don't need that world to validate me
Cuz shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
I was a girl about the floss
It was all about the cost, how much he spent on me
Seek, for a man who's got the means
To be givin' you diamond rings
It's what every fly girl could want or even dream
But I'm not every girl and I don't need no G to take care of me
Cuz shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart, no no
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
But I'm not every girl
And I don't need no G to take care of me, no
'Cause shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart, oh most girls
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
'Cause I'm not most girls, don't wanna dance if he can't be everything
I, I just want real love, said I gotta have real love
Everything that, can you be everything that I dream of
The song "Most Girls" is a feminist anthem that subverts the traditional gender roles and expectations associated with romantic relationships. The lyrics start by rejecting the idea that love is a mushy feeling that doesn't bring anything tangible, like money, to the table. Instead, the focus is on the independence and self-sufficiency of the singer, who doesn't need a man to validate her worth. She has her own job, car, and pays her own rent. She refuses to dance to anyone else's tune unless it's something she feels in her heart, something authentic.
The chorus contrasts the usual stereotypes of what women want in a man, dismissing the bling and the wealth, and replacing it with a yearning for a deeper, more meaningful connection. The singer desires someone who can understand and reciprocate real love, rather than throwing around money to buy her affection. The song reinforces the idea that love should be built on mutual respect and understanding, rather than superficial possessions. Overall, "Most Girls" empowers women to be their own person, to put their own happiness and desires first, and not compromise their values for anyone else.

I never cared too much for love
Love wasn't a priority or concern for me
It was all a bunch of mush that I just did not want
Love seemed overly sentimental and unappealing to me
Paid was the issue of the day
Money was the most important factor
If a girlfriend's got some game
If a woman is attractive and confident
Couldn't be more fly, gettin' paid was everything
Being fashionable and successful was the ultimate goal
