Lyrics
She started looking for love in all the wrong places
She sought love in inappropriate or unfulfilling locations/places.
She was hittin the bars and she was goin so hard
She frequently visited bars and indulged heavily in that lifestyle.
And it was all the same faces
Encountering the same familiar people in those places.
Her friends were getting engaged and she was hating her age
Her friends were committing to relationships while she felt dissatisfaction or regret about her own age and situation.
She was sick and tired of not ever being center stage
She was weary of not being the center of attention and felt exhausted by it.
She's gotta make it happen 'cause the clock is ticking down
She feels the urgency to achieve something as time is running out.
The pressure from her parents and her friends, she's gonna drown
Feeling overwhelmed by the expectations and opinions of her parents and friends.
You're movin too fast, Slow down, girl
Advice to slow down her pace in life.
You're moving too fast, slow down
Reiteration to slow down her pace.
You gotta take your time and slow down, girl
Encouragement to take time and not rush through life.
You're moving too fast, slow down
Re-emphasizing the need to reduce speed and haste.
Take it easy, take it easy
Encouragement to relax and not stress.
I never understood the rush, the fear of never falling in love
Questioning the rush to find love and the fear of never experiencing it.
I supposed that I will find her soon enough
Anticipating finding love eventually without unnecessary haste.
The one that makes me feel crazy enough to get married
Desire to find someone special worth committing to.
I'm not the one in the crowd, see what the fuss is about
Not feeling the need to conform to societal norms and trends.
I'm waiting on something real
Waiting for an authentic and genuine connection or relationship.
Not gonna change up my ways for Christianity's sake
Refusing to change behavior solely for the sake of fitting into religious expectations.
Why can't we do it our own way?
Questioning the need to adhere strictly to conventional ways of life.
Oh, you gotta let it go before it consumes you
Advising to release or let go of something before it becomes overwhelming.
Because you never know where the love will bloom
Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of love and relationships.
Life is gonna pass you by, do something for yourself
Urging to take action for oneself amidst the passage of time.
Someone else is out there looking for you
Assurance that there's someone out there searching for her as well.
So she was looking for love in all the wrong places
Reiteration of seeking love in unsuitable places.
She was hittin' the bars and she was goin' so hard
Continued habit of frequenting bars and engaging heavily.
And it was still the same faces
Encountering the same familiar faces despite actions.
Her friends were getting engaged and she was hating her age
Similar situation as mentioned earlier - friends committing while feeling unhappy with personal circumstances.
She was sick and tired of not ever being center stage
Continued dissatisfaction with not being the center of attention.
She's gotta make it happen 'cause the clock is ticking down
Feeling the pressure to achieve something as time is running out.
The pressure from her parents and her friends, she's gonna drown
Feeling overwhelmed by the expectations and opinions of family and friends, facing potential suffocation.
