Don’t Cha
The Baseballs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you like me (I know you like me)
I know you do (I know you do)
That's why whenever I come around
He's all over you
And I know you want it (I know you want it)
It's easy to see (it's easy to see)
And in the back of your mind
I know you should be fuck with me

Don't cha wish your boyfriend was hot like me
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was a freak like me
Don't cha, don't cha
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was raw like me
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was fun like me
Don't cha, don't cha

Fight the feeling (fight the feeling)
Leave it alone (leave it alone)
Cause if it ain't love
It just ain't enough to leave a happy home
Let's keep it friendly (let's keep it friendly)
You have to play fair (you have to play fair)
See, I don't care
But I know she ain't gon' wanna share

Don't cha wish your boyfriend was hot like me
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was a freak like me
Don't cha, don't cha
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was raw like me
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was fun like me
Don't cha, don't cha

I know he loves you (I know he loves you)
I understand (I understand)
I'd probably be just as crazy about you
If you were my girlfriend
Maybe next lifetime (maybe next lifetime)
Possibly (possibly)
Until then, Oh friend you're secret is safe with me

Don't cha wish your boyfriend was hot like me
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was a freak like me
Don't cha, don't cha
I said, don't cha wish your boyfriend was raw like me
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was fun like me
Don't cha, don't cha

I said, don't cha wish your boyfriend was raw like me
Don't cha wish your boyfriend was fun like me

I said, don't cha, don't cha
Don't cha

Overall Meaning

In The Baseballs’ “Don’t Cha”, the male singer is confessing to a woman that he knows she likes him more than her current boyfriend. He points out that every time he is around, her boyfriend is all over her, indicating that he is insecure about the attention his girlfriend shows to the singer. The singer says he knows that the woman wants him because it is obvious she wants him just as much as he wants her. He tells the woman not to fight the feeling but to leave it alone if it is not love since it is not enough to leave a happy home.

The chorus is catchy and easily the most memorable part of the song. The singer asks the woman if she wishes her boyfriend was hot, a freak, raw, and fun like he is. The chorus repeats with the phrase “don’t cha, don’t cha” emphasizing the point the singer is making. He admits that he understands the woman’s boyfriend loves her, and he would be just as crazy about her if they were together. He finishes by telling the woman that her secret (her attraction to him) is safe with him.
