The Internet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If they don't know your worth
Tell 'em you're my girl
And anything you want is yours
Passion burning
Causing rapture of laughter
Pressure building
If I told you that you rock my world
I want you around me
Would you let me call you my girl
My girlfriend, my girlfriend?
I can give you the life you deserve
Just say the word
And I got you
Darling, I got you
Girl
If they don't know your worth
Tell 'em you're my girl
And anything you want is yours
Chapters turning
So old fashioned and natural
Potions got me falling for you
Oh yeah
Baby if I told you that you rock my world
I want you around me
Would you let me call you my girl
My girlfriend, my girlfriend?
I can give you the life you deserve
Just say the word
And I got you and more
Girl (you're mine)
If they don't know your worth
Tell 'em you're my girl
And anything you want is yours
Girl
If they don't know your worth
Tell 'em you're my girl
And anything you want is yours
Girl
If they don't know your worth
Tell 'em you're my girl
And anything you want is yours
Girl
If they don't know your worth
Tell 'em you're my girl
And anything you want is yours
Baby
Baby
Baby, baby
Love me, shade me
Keep me wrapped up in your open arms
Come on, baby, gave me, something amazing
But don't mistake me for someone
For the next girl, nah
We don't fight, we just fuck
I'm in like, she's in love
She gave in, I gave up
Can we just live in the moment?
The Internet's song Girl is about a man expressing his deep affection for a woman and wanting to give her the world. The lyrics suggest that the woman may not always realize her own worth or value, but the singer sees it and wants her to know that she is important to him. He offers to be her partner and give her the life she deserves. The song contains several metaphors and stylistic devices such as "passion burning, causing rapture of laughter" and "potions got me falling for you." These express the intensity of the singer's emotions and desire for the woman.
The chorus of the song repeats the line: "If they don't know your worth, tell 'em you're my girl, and anything you want is yours." This implies that the woman's value will be recognized when she has the singer by her side. He wants her to feel confident and secure in their relationship, knowing that anything she desires will be given to her. The bridge of the song expresses a desire for a moment of perfection where they can live in the present and not worry about the future or past.
