I Fell In Love With A Gril
The White Stripes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fell in love with a girl
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 says, "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 all love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new
And I said it once before but it bears repeating, now

(Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaah)
(Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaah)
(Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaah)
(Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaah)

Can't think of anything to do
Yeah my left brain knows that all love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new, well
I said it once before but it bears repeating

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 says "Are you alright?"
I said I must be fine because my hearts still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside
Yeah Bobby said its fine, he don't consider it cheating, now

(Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaah)
(Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaah)
(Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaah)
(Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaah)

Can't think of anything to do yeah
My left brain knows that all love is fleeting




She's just looking for something new
Well I've said once before but it bears repeating, now

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

@noahburgos9625

yeah seriously

@0bread286

It can be turned on by the person who posted the video, it isn't on by default
