Now come on

And how do I know (know, know)
'Cause every time I ride by

And if I see that ass in the club I'm a step to her like
Hey regular girl

Somebody said you was a 7

And if you a regular girl
Put your hands up in the air
And say aaaahaahhh

They show me regular love
And all my rims don't spin
Pullin' up on the regular dubs

In T-Pain's song "Regular Girl," the artist talks about how his potential love interest wants a regular guy. He emphasizes that he is not flashy, and the woman enjoys him for his regular clothes and doors in his car. Despite being "regular," T-Pain tries to convince her that their connection is genuine, and he is not just putting on a show. He also uses the opportunity to boast about his clique, which the regular girl seems to like.
The chorus of the song is about encouraging regular girls to embrace who they are, and not feel the need to conform to societal expectations of what a "hot" girl should look and act like. T-Pain urges them to acknowledge their worth as "twenty twin twin" and put their hands up in the air while saying "aaaaah ahhh."
The tone of the song is playful, and T-Pain uses his signature autotune style to add to the upbeat nature. The lyrics have been criticized for promoting a misogyny culture that undermines women who are seen as "regular." However, others argue that T-Pain was attempting to empower those who may not fit into mainstream beauty standards. Overall, the song is a fun, light-hearted track that can be interpreted in different ways.
