So You Like What You See
Samuelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get with the program!
Get with the program!
Everyday now i can feel you watching me from afar
And you been leavin' those love letters on my car (everyday)
So now i wonder - why you're so into me in such a way
That you've got to take your spare time to chase after me
Chorus:
So you like what you see?
You better put a hold on me
So you like what you see?
You better put a hold on me
The problem, baby
I'm not used to girls to shy (talk to me)
Now i'm impressed by sweet young ladies on a mission
To please their guy
So why, young lady, fall short of getting me?
About awhile
Now it's time you get with the program and learn to leave
Forcefully
Chorus 2x
Intermission
Chorus until fade
The song "So You Like What You See" by Samuelle is about a persistent admirer who is constantly pursuing the singer. The lyrics suggest that this person has been leaving love letters on the singer's car and watching from afar. Although flattered by the attention, the singer warns the admirer to "put a hold" on their pursuit, because they are not used to shy girls and therefore need a more forceful approach. The singer advises the admirer to "get with the program" and learn to be more assertive if they want to win their affections.
Overall, the song is about the struggles of communication between two people who are interested in each other, but have different approaches to flirting and expressing their feelings. It highlights the importance of being honest and upfront in romantic relationships, rather than being passive or indirect.
