Lyrics
I met your father
Met the person's father
He said he sold cars and he
He mentioned his profession of selling cars and making a lot of money
Makes a lot of cheddar
Refers to the father's wealth or financial success
I knew your mother, she wore
Knew the person's mother, who wore a dress the previous night
A dress last night
Describing the attire of the person's mother
We all agreed we wanted her
Shared an opinion with others about finding the person's mother attractive
Oh, the way you puff on your "cig"
Commenting on the way the person smokes a "cigarette"
All the people here must be watching you
Implying that others are observing the person's actions
Dating boys who dropped out of school
Describing the type of individuals the person dates
Nowadays they just clean your pool
Commenting on their current profession, possibly in contrast to their educational background
I'd rather just see somebody
Prefers genuine connections rather than forcing relationships
Then force it upon myself
Would rather feel a genuine connection than pretend
I'd rather just get a feeling
Expressing a preference for authentic emotions
Then waste time with someone else
Values genuine connections over wasting time with insincere people
I always knew that you'd run off with
Always expected the person to be with someone focused on work or career
Some boy who'd live in his office
Anticipated the person's choice of partner who prioritizes work
Always knew that you'd end up with
Expected the person to settle down in a traditional suburban lifestyle with family
Kids and a suburban coffin
Implies an expected future of domesticity
I met your boyfriend
Met the person's boyfriend
I asked him if he minded that you
Inquired about the boyfriend's opinion regarding the person's online behavior
Still post pictures of your bare
Refers to the person's habit of posting revealing pictures online
Skin on the internet
Expressing concern about the person's public display of skin
For all the other boys to see
Worried about other people seeing the person's intimate photos
Oh, the way you sip on your drink
Commenting on the way the person drinks
All the people here must be watching you
Indicating that others are observing the person's behavior
Showing your skin to everyone
Advising against displaying one's body for attention
Doesn't make you desirable
Suggests that flaunting skin doesn't make someone attractive
I've come to find the realest boys
Values authenticity in people rather than their outward appearance
Don't feed into an outside image
Emphasizes the importance of genuine character over image
Come to find the realest girls don't
Similar emphasis on authenticity in women's behavior
Feed into an outside image
Reflects on commonalities between the speaker and the person
Come to find that you and I don't
Highlights differences between the speaker and the person
Really have that much in common
Not much similarity found between the speaker and the person
Come to find I've learned to mind a
Appreciating physical attractiveness with some reservation or skepticism
Sexy waist with "half a mind"
Commenting on physical attractiveness with a hint of skepticism or reservation
Comment
