Señorita
Shrub Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the moment I wake up, until the time I sleep
Every single second, is my chance to be
Everything you wanted, everything you need
But that just ain't me
If I could make you happy, girl, trust me, I'd
Give you my world, and together we'd
Be living in the loving lap of luxury
But that just can't be

You couldn't love me like I wanted
Couldn't love me like I needed
Couldn't be my one and only
Couldn't be my senorita
Teresita, mamacita
You see girl that I need ya
Leave me dying, leave me crying
Simply trying, for no reason
No reason to be scheming,
No reason to be lying
No reason for this fighting
So just leave me or I'm flying away
Away
Away
Way
Way away

And when I told you that I loved you
Yeah I meant those words
Each and every noun
And every adverb
Every little beat
In every song you've heard
And everything I say
When I say these words
Our love's not easy
Our love's not nice
Our love's not easy, when we fuss and fight
We tried real hard
I ain't trying twice
Time for one of us to hop onto the next flight

You couldn't love me like I wanted
Couldn't love me like I needed
Couldn't be my one and only
Couldn't be my senorita
Teresita, mamacita
You see girl that I need ya
Leave me dying, leave me crying
Simply trying, for no reason
No reason to be scheming
No reason to be lying
No reason for this fighting
So just leave me or I'm flying away
Away
Away
Away
Away
Way
Way away

You couldn't love me like I wanted
Couldn't love me like I needed
Couldn't be my one and only
You couldn't be my senorita
You couldn't love me like I wanted
Couldn't love me like I needed
Couldn't be my one and only
Couldn't be my senorita
Teresita, mamacita
You see girl that I need ya
Leave me dying, leave me crying
Simply trying, for no reason
No reason to be scheming
No reason to be lying
No reason for this fighting
So just leave me or I'm flying away
Away
Away
Away
Away

Overall Meaning

In the song "Señorita" by Shrub, the lyrics depict a complicated relationship where the singer expresses their desire to make their partner happy, but acknowledges that they are unable to fulfill their partner's expectations. The singer acknowledges their own limitations and their inability to love their partner the way they want and need to be loved. They mention that if they could, they would give their partner everything and live a luxurious life together, but they admit it's just not possible. The singer then pleads with their partner to leave, as they are constantly fighting and causing each other pain. They emphasize that there is no reason for the fighting and deception, and that it's time for one of them to move on to find happiness elsewhere.


The lyrics reflect the inner conflict within a relationship where one person acknowledges their shortcomings and recognizes that their partner deserves better. Despite their love for each other, they come to the realization that their love is not enough to sustain a healthy and fulfilling relationship. This song captures the bittersweet nature of love, where two people may care deeply for one another but ultimately have to let go for the sake of their own happiness and wellbeing.
