She's In Love
Steven A. Clark Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ex-beauty queen, amongst other things, face made for the big screen
A small town girl, Egyptian dreams
Her daddy ain't around, used to beat her up, her mama thinks I'm too rough
They said her old man was just like me

Do anything to have a good time
Guess I'm not what she like
Late at night do you drink for me

Get that high, feel it buzz
Memories are too much
Cause she's in love but not in love with me

Cause she's in so in love with the city, simply adjusting
Pretty lies, so pretty, so high above me
She's in love with the city, simply adjusting
Pretty lies, so pretty, searching for something

She's in love, oh
She's so in love, oh
She's in love, oh
She's so in love, oh

Diamonds, pearls, and finer things, a penthouse, limousines
She wanna be seen but not with me
She'll come around, baby give it up, cause it just ain't good enough
She'll never end up with a guy like me

Do anything to have a good time
Guess I'm not what she like
Late at night do you drink for me
Get that high, feel it buzz
Memories are too much
Cause she's in love and that love ain't me

Cause she's so in love with the city, simply adjusting
Pretty lies, so pretty, so high above me
She's in love with the city, simply adjusting
Pretty lies, so pretty, searching for something

She's in love, oh (She's so in love)
She's so in love, oh (She's in love baby)
She's in love, oh (She's so in love oh)
She's so in love oh

Cause she's so in love with the city, simply adjusting
Pretty lies, so pretty, so high above me
She's in love with the city, simply adjusting
Pretty lies, so pretty, searching for something

She's in love, oh (She's so in love)
She's so in love, oh (She's so in love)

She's in love, oh (Oh, she's so in love)
She's so in love, oh (Just not that in love with me)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Steven A. Clark's song She's In Love are a story about a woman who, despite being deeply in love with the city she lives in, seems to be looking for something more. She comes from a small town and has had a rocky relationship with her father, who used to abuse her. Her mother seems to be disapproving of Steven, the singer, believing him to be too rough for her daughter. The chorus repeats the idea that she is in love but not in love with Steven. She is too focused on the glitz and glamor of the city and the finer things in life to fully commit to a relationship with him.

The second verse reinforces the idea that she is after status and material possessions more than a real connection with anyone. She likes the idea of being seen and noticed. Steven feels that no matter how much he does for her, it will never be good enough for her. The song ends with the continued repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the sadness that despite the singer's efforts, the woman he loves will never fully love him back.

Overall, She's In Love explores the idea of finding one's place in the world, whether that be through love or through material possession. It highlights the struggle of feeling inferior when comparing oneself to others in terms of status and success.
