Girls Like You
The Attire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You missed my birthday, girl
Don't text me later
Not getting off this time on bad behaviour
You got a taste for what somebody pays for
Getting drunk with your friends on Stella Rose, hey, girl
You crossed the line when you're out every night
With that guy that you told me not to worry about
People write songs about girls like you
Oh my god, what I get into?
Say you're bad at love, that's a bad excuse
'Cause people write songs about, people write songs about girls like you

Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Girls like you
Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Girls like you

You won't apologize but I don't need it
Just wants attention type, that's all I'm seeing
Say you want this to last, I can't believe it
You'll only want me back when you find out I'm leaving

You crossed the line when you're out every night
With that guy that you told me not to worry about
People write songs about girls like you
Oh my god, what I get into?
Say you're bad at love, that's a bad excuse
'Cause people write songs about, people write songs about girls like you

Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Girls like you
Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Girls like you
Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Girls like you
Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Girls like you

I'm done waiting
So just save it
You can't change it
Enough's enough

You crossed the line when you're out every night
With that guy that you told me not to worry about
People write songs about girls like you
Oh my god, what I get into?
Say you're bad at love, that's a a bad excuse
'Cause people write songs about, people write songs about

People write songs about girls like you (ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh)
Oh my god, what I get into? (ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh)
Say you're bad at love (ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh)
That's a bad excuse (ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh)




'Cause people write songs about (ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh)
People write songs about girls like you

Overall Meaning

The Attire's song "Girls Like You" speaks about a lover who constantly shows bad behavior towards their partner. The lyrics start off with the disappointment of the partner in question for missing their birthday and then not bothering to reach out later. The partner is not willing to compromise on their behavior, and the singer is done waiting for them to change. The song continues with the singer delving into the habits of their partner: going out with their "guy friend" every night, and getting drunk with their friends on Stella Rose. Despite the partner's claims of wanting things to last, the singer cannot believe it and sees the actions as just wanting attention. They are tired of excuses and explanations and point out that people write songs about girls like the partner.


Overall, the song explores the frustration of a partner who is not reciprocating love and affection while simultaneously causing pain to their significant other. The lyrics talk about how the partner's behavior mirrors that of others who have been written about in songs, alluding to the fact that such toxic behaviors are common but not any less hurtful.
