Overall Meaning

The Baseballs's song Don't Cha is a cover of the original song by the Pussycat Dolls ft. Busta Rhymes. The lyrics talk about a man who knows that a woman is interested in him, despite being with someone else, and he suggests that she should leave her current partner for him. The chorus repeats the lines "Don't cha wish your boyfriend was hot like me? Don't cha wish your boyfriend was a freak like me?" as a way to tempt the woman into leaving her boyfriend. The lyrics acknowledge that the woman's current relationship might be based on love, but the man believes that it's not enough to keep her from pursuing what she wants.

The song's music video features the three members of The Baseballs performing in a recording studio, while intercut with scenes of women dancing suggestively. The video's imagery reinforces the song's message of sexual temptation and desire.

Overall, the song's lyrics are straightforward and unapologetic in their presentation of a man trying to lure a woman away from her boyfriend. It could be interpreted as a commentary on the temptations and challenges of monogamous relationships, or simply as a playful exercise in sexual fantasy.
