Jackpot Girl
Seeed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a jackpot girl in my arm
But over night she had left and gone
I think I have to call a detective (call a detective)
Call the police and detective (hire a detective)
I searched up and downtown
I searched all day and now the night come
What should I do today is a bad, oh what a sad day
Yes man my woman disappeared

She was the type of girl that I searched for
All my life, everyday
The chapel was chosen wanted all of them to see
I’m going marry her
But the girl was not there
I searched every where ooh yeah
I’m gonna everything do that I can
To find my jackpot girl, she’s the bomb
I think I have to call a detective (call a detective)
Call the police and detective (hire a detective)

Nein mann ich hab deine braut nicht gesehen
Und überhaupt alter, sie will gehen, lass sie gehen
Okee ich muss gestehn do hast’n mittleres problem
Doch do wirst sehen bald wird wieder rückenwind wehen
Schließ die augen, zähl bis zehn, zack da steht marlene
Dein kopf ist ihr genehm also wird sie ihn dir verdrehen
Vielleicht wird es schiefgehn vielleicht wird’s super, je nach dem
Lass sie kommen, lass sie stehn, das ist bockreich und bequem

Jackpot girl in my arm but over night she had left and gone
I’m gonna keep up the fire
'Cause never succeeds at last
Don’t be afraid of our divine combination
'Cause as I said, it’s meant to be from creation
And it’s my desperate desire
To get you back right into my arms
You're the jewel that I lost in a deep deep water
Where are you oh please reveal

Jackpot girl, have you seen my jackpot girl
Jackpot girl, has anybody seen my jackpot girl

Overall Meaning

The song "Jackpot Girl" by Seeed is about a man who had found the perfect woman but she suddenly disappeared, leaving him distraught and searching for her. The lyrics suggest that he had big plans for their future as he had chosen a chapel and wanted everyone to see him marrying her. However, she was nowhere to be found and he has resorted to calling a detective to help find her. The song expresses the man's love and desperation to find his "jackpot girl," and the chorus repeats the idea that he needs to call a detective and the police to find her.

The German lyrics in the second verse seem to be from another character's perspective, they are offering the man some comfort by saying that soon things will turn up and he will see Marlene again. They advise him to close his eyes and count to ten and Marlene will suddenly appear to him. This character is trying to offer some reassurance to the man that everything will work out in the end.

Overall, the song is a catchy tune that discusses the themes of love, loss, and desperation. It portrays the anguish that comes from losing someone you truly love and the lengths someone will go to in order to find them.

Yes man my woman disappeared
My girlfriend vanished

She was the type of girl that I searched for
She was exactly what I wanted in a partner

I had been searching for someone like her my entire life

The chapel was chosen wanted all of them to see
We had planned to get married and invite everyone we knew

'Cause never succeeds at last
If you don't try, you will never succeed

Don’t be afraid of our divine combination
We are meant to be together

'Cause as I said, it’s meant to be from creation
Our relationship was meant to happen since the beginning of time

And it’s my desperate desire
I am desperate to get her back

To get you back right into my arms
I want her to be in my arms again

You're the jewel that I lost in a deep deep water
She is the most valuable thing that I lost

Where are you oh please reveal
I am begging for her to show herself

Jackpot girl, have you seen my jackpot girl
Has anyone seen my amazing girlfriend

Jackpot girl, has anybody seen my jackpot girl
Has anyone seen my amazing girlfriend
