Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello little girl
Hello little girl
When I see you everyday
I say, "Mm mm hello little girl"
When you're passing on your way
I say, "Mm mm hello little girl"
I cry, "Mm mm hello little girl"
When I try to catch your eye
I cry, "Mm mm hello little girl"
I send you flowers but you don't care
You never seem to see me standing there
I often wonder what you're thinking of
I hope it's me and love love love
So I hope there'll come a day
When you'll say, "Mm you're my little girl"
It's not the first time that it's happened to me,
It's been a long lonely time
And it's funny funny to see that I'm about to lose my mind mind mind
So I hope there'll come a day
When you say, "Mm mm
You're my little girl, mm mm mm
You're my little girl, mm mm mm"
You're my little girl, oh yeah
You're my little girl
Do do do do do
The Stool Pigeons' song "Hello Little Girl" is a classic tale of unrequited love. The singer is infatuated with a young woman whom he sees daily but is unable to engage with romantically. The repetition of the lyric "Hello little girl" is an attempt to gain her attention and express his feelings. He tries to impress her by sending flowers, but she seems indifferent to his existence.
The singer longs for the day when the woman will recognize his affectionate advances and acknowledge him as her special someone. He is driven to desperation and confides in the listener that he is "about to lose his mind" due to the emotional turmoil of being in love without reciprocation.
The song's simple melody and catchy chorus underscore the universal premise of unrequited love. It expresses the universal theme that everyone has experienced at one time or another, love that goes unreturned. With its upbeat tone and repetitive lyrics, it perfectly captures the frustration and angst that comes with wanting someone who doesn't feel the same way.
