Just My Type
The Vamps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

M-m-m-m-m-my more than meets the eye
To tell the truth would be a lie
I saw her out on Friday night, misunderstood
She's balling for a guy
That cigarette, it needs a light
Pluck up the courage and invite her nowhere good

'Cause I need this more than just a one night stand
Need that honey when she hold my hand
Times like this, they call for true romance
But she's not ready for that

She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh, I don't know why she's just my type
She's bad advice
I don't think twice
Oh, I don't know why she's what I like

But I, I, I love it
I, I, I love it
Love the way she plays with my head
She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh, I don't know why she's just my type

This girl's still on repeat
Plays in my mind, won't let me sleep
She's not the one who's in my sheets
'Cause she's no good
She defies all of my dreams
And expectations she won't meet
I'll pack my bags and try to leave
I wish I could

'Cause I need this more than just a one night stand
Need that honey when she hold my hand
Times like this, they call for true romance
But she's not ready for that

She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh, I don't know why she's just my type
She's bad advice
I don't think twice
Oh, I don't know why she's just what I like

But I, I, I love it
I, I, I love it
Love the way she plays with my head
She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh, I don't know why she's just my type

More than meets the eye
To tell the truth would be a lie
I saw her out again last night, misunderstood
And I'll never be her guy
That cigarette still needs a light
And when I take her back to mine it's nothing good

'Cause I need this more than just a one night stand
Need that honey when she hold my hand
Times like this, they call for true romance
But she's not ready for that

She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh, I don't know why she's just my type
She's bad advice
I don't think twice
Oh, I don't know why she's what I like

But I, I, I love it
I, I, I love it
Love the way she plays with my head
She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh, I don't know why she's just my type

Oh, she's just my type
Yeah, she's got just what I like




And she's just my type
Oh yeah, she's just my type

Overall Meaning

The Vamps's song Just My Type tells the story of a man who is captivated by a woman he is unable to resist, even though he knows she is bad for him. The first verse introduces the girl as someone who is misunderstood and possibly in a toxic relationship. However, the singer is drawn to her nonetheless and seeks a deeper connection beyond a one-night stand, even though he knows that she is not ready for anything serious.


The chorus repeats the idea that the girl lets him down but also gets him high, and he doesn't know why he likes it. He acknowledges that she's not the type of girl he should be with, but he can't help but love the way she plays with his head. In the second verse, he admits that he is aware that she is not the one who is in his bed, but the thought of her is still on his mind.


Overall, the song is a commentary on the risk and excitement that comes with pursuing someone who may not be good for us. Despite knowing the potential consequences, we can't always help who we are drawn to and the way they make us feel.

Do you know and also understand that part, GOD DO LOVE US ALL, BUT ALL WHO LOVE ALSO JUDGE.
For love is meaningless and valueless if no righteous judgment is not found nor given.


“You don't "become" trans, either you are or you aren't. Also, to appear as the gender you perceive yourself as is the goal, trans people know they can't change biologically but they can socially and THAT is what matters. “ - SIRENA.

dear soul, thats only illusion, a confused and usually young soul, made to believe. Not a single part of it is real.

How did mankind come up with the BARBIE DOLL? - they feminized a male.

The devil is always after the young: why`? Cause young minds can be formed by others in ways others may like (others = devil). Older and old souls, have already experienced a lot, learn to know a lot. Manage to see the difference between good and evil. In other words, older generations becomes valueless and useless to devil, cause he can`t no longer form older humans minds in ways only devil finds fit. The less we know and understand, the easier for evil is to manipulate and use us and that what he dose with the youth.

On this earth, we have been given a childhood and a parenthood, both 20 years long.
Why? so the young minds shall be guided and raised up in care and in love, not letting them to be used and manipulated by the devil.

The Vamps - Just My Type 🎤

M-m-m-m-m-my... more than meets the eye
To tell the truth would be a lie
I saw her out on Friday night, misunderstood
She's balling for a guy
That cigarette, it needs a light
Pluck up the courage and invite her nowhere good

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I need this more than just a one night stand
Need that "honey, won't you hold my hand"
Times like these, think of a true romance
But she's not ready for that

[Chorus]
She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh I don't know why
She's just my type
She's bad advice
I don't think twice
Oh I don't know why
She's what I like

[Post-Chorus]
But I, I, I love it
I, I, I love it
Love the way she plays with my head
She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh I don't know why
She's just my type

This girl's still on repeat
Plays in my mind, won't let me sleep
She's not the one who's in my sheets
'Cause she's no good
She defies all of my dreams
And expectations she won't meet
I'll pack my bags and try to leave
I wish I could
'Cause I need this more than
Just a one night stand
Need that honey when she hold my hand
Times like this, they call for true romance
But she's not ready for that
She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh I don't know why
She's just my type
She's bad advice
I don't think twice
Oh I don't know why
She's what I like
But I, I, I love it
I, I, I love it
Love the way she plays with my head
She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh I don't know why
She's just my type
More than meets the eye
To tell the truth would be a lie
I saw her out again last night, misunderstood
And I'll never be that guy
That cigarette still needs a light
And when I take her back
To mine it's nothing good
'Cause I need this more than
Just a one night stand
Need that honey when she hold my hand
Times like this they call for true romance
But she's not ready for that
She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh I don't know why
She's just my type
She's bad advice
I don't think twice
Oh I don't know why
She's what I like
But I, I, I love it
I, I, I love it
Love the way she plays with my head
She lets me down
Then gets me high
Oh I don't know why
She's just my type
Oh she's just my type
Yeah she's got just what I like
And she's just my type
Oh yeah she's just my type

M-m-m-m-m-my

More than meets the eye
To tell the truth would be a lie
I saw her out on Friday night
Misunderstood
She's balling for a guy
That cigarette, it needs a light
Pluck up the courage and invite
Her nowhere good

'Cause I need this more than just a one night stand
Need that honey when she hold(s) my hand
Times like this they call for true romance
But she's not ready for that

This girl's still on repeat
Plays in my mind
Won't let me sleep
She's not the one who's in my sheets
'Cause she's no good
She defies all of my dreams
And expectations she won't meet
I packed my bags and tried to leave
I wish I could

Cause I need this more than just a one night stand
Need that honey when she hold(s) my hand
Times like this they call for true romance

And she's just my type
Oh yeah, she's just my type
