Material Girl
Richard Cheese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some boys hug me
I think they're ok
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light (that's right)
Is always Mister Right
'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Some boys romance
Some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest then I
Have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don't let them play (no way)
Only boys who save their pennies
Make my rainy day
'Cause we're living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Boys may come and boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me
'Cause everybody's living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
A material, a material, a material, a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material worl
The lyrics of Richard Cheese’s song “Material Girl” speak about a woman’s perspective on love and relationships in a society that values material possessions. The first verse talks about how some boys kiss and hug her, but if they don't give her the proper credit, she just walks away. This highlights how she values recognition and appreciation for who she is and what she brings to the relationship. She mentions how some boys beg and plead, but they can't see the light because the boy with the cold hard cash is always Mr. Right. This juxtaposition highlights the false notion of love being equated with wealth and material possessions.
The music video of the song further emphasizes this theme by showcasing the woman as a product, being marketed and packaged like a commodity. The chorus, “'Cause we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl,” emphasizes how society places great importance on material things and how it has influenced her perspective on love and relationships. The second verse talks about some boys trying and lying, but she only chooses those who save their pennies, highlighting how she values financial stability.
In conclusion, the lyrics of “Material Girl” presents a critical view of a society that values material possessions and how it has influenced the woman's perspective on love and relationships.
