Rachel Stevens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who lives her life in plastic (plastic)
A secret kind of world
It sounds a lot fantastic, yeah
She lets you think that she's acting kind of stupid
Looks good in pink and she knows just how to use it
Her dance with diamonds brings a sparkle to the music
[Chorus]
And all she wants is love
And all she wants is dumb da da dumb
Searching for a touch
That's more than just a dumb da da dumb
Hides behind her heart
And all we see is dumb da da dumb
You could give her love, love, love
Love
Behind the mascaraed
Between the smoke and mirrors
Her tear drops will explode
Into the night that glitters, yeah
You see she sacrificed her image for her beauty
But looking deeper you can see that she's unhappy
You can kiss her, you can wake her from her sadness
Her laugh is living under her skin
[Chorus]
Her laugh is living under her skin
[Chorus]
And all she wants is love
And all she wants is dumb da da dumb
Searching for a touch
That's more than just a dumb da da dumb
Hides behind her heart
Dumb da da dumb
You could give her love, love, love [Repeat: x3]

She is hiding behind her heart, hoping for more than just a dumb touch. The girl's laugh is described as "sleeping under her skin," suggesting that she puts on a façade to hide her true emotions.
The song highlights the pressure society places on women to conform to certain beauty standards, and the impact it can have on their mental health. The girl in the song has sacrificed her image for her beauty, and although she seems to have it all, she is still unhappy. The singer urges the listener to look beyond the surface and to see the girl for who she really is, and to give her the love she needs.

You could give her love, love, love
Yet, you can still show her what true love is and make her happy
