Trey Songz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find the one so beautiful
Just like the one I used to know
The one I used to know
All around the world, all around the world
I'll never find another you, baby
All around the world, all around the world
In search of a girl so beautiful (Leggo)
Been around, been around the world
Lookin' for you
Seen so many, many pretty girls
Left it on ya
Been to Tokyo with no luck
I left France with no luck
Found nobody in Toronto like you uh uh
Seen a million pretty faces
Still ain't found one like yours
With a walk mean as yours,
New shades, clothes Victor
I've been a million different places,
Still ain't found one like you
It's the little things you do
That make you so beautiful
And there's no place I won't go (where I won't go)
To find the one so beautiful
Just like the one I used to know
The one I used to know
All around the world, all around the world
I'll never find another you, baby
All around the world, all around the world
In search of a girl so beautiful
So tell me have you seen her?
(Have you seen her? Have you seen her?)
The one I used to know
Tell me have you seen her?
(Have you seen her? have you seen her?)
The one like you
I've been so many cities lookin' for you girl
L.A. to London
I can't find nobody lookin' like you girl
I ain't feel something
Left St. Louis with no luck
Paris with no luck
I found nobody in Chicago like you uh uh
Seen a million different faces
Still ain't found one like yours
With a walk mean as yours,
New shades, clothes Victor
I've been a million different places,
Still ain't found one like you
It's the little things you do
That make you so beautiful
And there's no place I won't go (where I won't go)
To find the one so beautiful
Just like the one I used to know
The one I used to know
All around the world, all around the world
I'll never find another you, baby
All around the world, all around the world
In search of a girl so beautiful
(Tell me)
So tell me have you seen her?
(Have you seen her?)
The one I used to know
(The one I used to know)
Tell me have you seen her?
(Seen her)
The one
Hey girl where you hidin'?
I want someone I can confide in
I'm the only you need
Girl, let me just remind you
I've been around, I've been around the world (come on)
And I still ain't found, still ain't found my girl
There's no place I won't go (just to find you)
To find the one so beautiful
Just like the one I used to know
The one I used to know
All around the world, (I'm searchin') all around the world
I'll never find another you, baby
All around the world, all around the world
In search of a girl so beautiful
The lyrics to Trey Songz's "All Around the World" express his search for a girl so beautiful that he cannot find her anywhere, even though he has looked all around the world. He emphasizes that he has been to many cities, including Tokyo, France, and Toronto, but hasn't found anyone like her. The song also highlights the importance of the little things that make someone beautiful, particularly in the way they walk, dress, and act.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the same phrase several times, emphasizes the idea that he cannot find another girl like her. The verses, on the other hand, describe his search in more detail and reveal how frustrated he is that he cannot find her.
Overall, the lyrics convey the message that true beauty is hard to find and that sometimes it requires a lot of effort to find someone special.
