Fun
Selena Gomez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put a gold star on my disorder
Yeah, we've talked around every corner
If I'm looking at you and me, we're on kind of symmetry
I'm a sensitive situation (mm)
You're a hot and cold combination
Oh, we both know we got complications (mm)
I try not to bother, not to bother you (ah-ah-ah)
But my kind of trouble, likes your trouble too (ah)
Can't stop myself, it's true
I like the way you move, uh-huh
Oh, we got something in this room, can't make that up
You may not be the one, uh-huh
But you look like fun (uh-uh-oh, ah, uh-uh-oh)
You look like fun (ooh fun, uh-uh-oh, ah, uh-uh-oh)
Can we keep it on a first name basis? (Ah)
We could overcrowd each others spaces
You get me higher than the medication
Take me to different places, let's face it, I'm getting impatient (ah)
I try not to bother, not to bother you (ah-ah-ah)
But my kind of trouble, likes your trouble too (ah)
Can't stop myself, it's true
I like the way you move, uh-huh
Oh, we got something in this room, can't make that up
You may not be the one, uh-huh
But you look like fun (mmm, uh-uh-oh, ah, uh-uh-oh)
You look like fun (ooh, uh-uh-oh, ah, uh-uh-oh)
You look like you don't, but you know how
Like a beautiful breakdown, and it's just not right
But you like you don't, but you know how
Make me wanna slow down, and it's just not right
That you like fun (yeah, uh-uh-oh, ah, uh-uh-oh)
You look like fun (ooh fun, uh-uh-oh, ah, uh-uh-oh)
You look like fun
In "Fun," Selena Gomez sings about a relationship that is filled with complications but is still fun and exciting. The lyrics suggest that she and her partner have been talking around their difficulties, but that they have a kind of symmetry that keeps things going. She recognizes that she is a sensitive situation, and her partner is a hot and cold combination, but their chemistry is undeniable. She tries not to bother him, but her kind of trouble likes his trouble too.
The next few lines suggest that Selena and her partner are enjoying themselves and that there is something special in their room that they cannot ignore. Although he may not be the one, Selena loves the way he moves, and he looks like fun. She asks if they could keep it on a first-name basis, so they do not disrupt each other's spaces. He makes her feel higher than medication takes her to different places, but she is getting impatient.
Later, Selena wonders whether her partner knows how to slow down, almost like a beautiful breakdown (which is just not right), but then realizes that he is conscientiously using fun to keep things going. Ultimately, the song is a playful and lighthearted exploration of a relationship that is both difficult and enjoyable.

it may be her response to Charlie's "slow it down". Just compare the lyrics.
Charlie:"I got a situation".
Selena:"I'm a sensitive situation".
Charlie:"my life is complicated".
Selena:"oh,we both know we got complications".
Charlie:"I'm not the guy that she suppose to love".
Selena:"you may not be the one".
Charlie:"girl,you gotta slow it down".
Selena:"make me wanna slow down".
