Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fell in love once and almost completely
She's in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
She turns and said "Are you alright?"
I said I must be fine 'cause my hearts still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside
Yeah Bobby said its fine, he don't consider it cheating now
Red hair with a curl
Mellow roll for the flavor and the eyes for peeping
Can't keep away from the girl
These two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
Can't think of anything to do yeah my left brain knows that our love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new
Yeah, I said it once before but it bears repeating, now
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)
Can't think of anything to do
Yeah my left brain knows that our love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new, well
I said it once before but it bears repeating now
Fell in love with a girl
I fell in love once and almost completely
She's in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
She turns and said "Are you alright?"
I said I must be fine because my heart's still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside
Yeah Bobby said its fine, he don't consider it cheating, now
(Aah, aah, aah, aah)

Well I've said it once before but it bears repeating, now
The White Stripes’ “Fell in Love With a Girl” is a song about a man who has fallen deeply in love with a girl who is caught up with the world and constantly searching for new experiences. The opening line, “I fell in love with a girl,” sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is all about the intense feelings the singer has for this girl.
The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desperation, as the man tries to convince the woman of his love for her. He acknowledges that there may be other distractions in her life, as he sings, “She’s in love with the world, but sometimes these feelings can be so misleading.” He also acknowledges that he may not be enough to keep her satisfied, singing, “She’s just looking for something new.”
The chorus, “Can’t think of anything to do,” emphasizes the singer’s frustration at not being able to hold onto the girl he loves. He knows that their love is fleeting and that she is always searching for the next thing, but he still can’t help but be in love with her.
Overall, “Fell in Love With a Girl” is a poignant and relatable song about the pain and joy of falling in love, even when it may not be reciprocated.

Fun Fact: Jack asked LEGO if they could provide a mini version of himself and Meg with every single they sold for this song. LEGO originally turned them down, but when the video became a hit LEGO changed their minds. They reached back out to Jack to agree to the deal. However, in a fit of irony, Jack turned them down just to spite them.

Does anyone else get annoyed how youtube covers the screen with recommended videos for the last 15 seconds? The whole animation deserves to be seen
@timkingsemail
YT's most annoying feature. It's like movies/TV shows that roll the credits at lightning speed
