A Girl
Heart's Lessons: Navigating Love in Blake Shelton's 'A Girl'
Lyrics
Had to steal, daddy's car, park it far from her house
Stealing daddy's car and parking it away from her house to secretly spend time with the girl.
And throwing rocks at her window til she's sneaking out
Throwing rocks at her window to get her attention and make her sneak out.
How to get a college kid to get you good stuff
Learning how to get valuable items from a college kid, possibly for the girl's enjoyment.
Mix a perfect drink in a Sonic cup
Mixing a perfect drink in a Sonic cup, perhaps to impress or share with the girl.
How to lean back, fake a yawn
Acting casually, faking a yawn, and putting an arm around her shoulder to create an intimate moment.
Stretch your arm round her shoulder
Physically pulling her closer for a kiss.
Pull her closer til she let you lean in for a kiss
Turning a limited amount of money into an enjoyable Saturday night.
How to turn a twenty into Saturday night
Making the girl's mom approve of spending time together until midnight.
How to make her momma let you have her til midnight
Keeping emotions hidden to avoid letting the girl know she has a strong effect on him.
How not to let her know she's got you caught
Reflection on the lessons learned about relationships and love.
These are the things that you learn
Continuation of lessons learned when pursuing love.
When your heart just wants to burn, burn
Expressing the passionate desire of the heart despite potential challenges.
These are the steps that you take
Steps taken in the pursuit of romantic interests.
When you're only thinking one thing
Focusing on a singular desire when thinking about the person of interest.
And you don't know nothing bout a promise and forever
Unfamiliarity with long-term commitments, emphasizing the present moment.
All you know is nothing's better than being together
Belief that nothing is better than being together with the person of interest.
And the only thing you want in the world, is a girl
The ultimate desire in the world is to be with the girl.
How to act like you're listening to her about her day
Acting like one is genuinely interested in the girl's daily life and experiences.
When she's talking and she's blocking the game
Being supportive and understanding during challenging times, such as during her menstrual cycle.
How to shut your mouth when it's that time of the month
Committing to change behaviors to win her trust and move forward in the relationship.
Knowing when she's mad and when she's really just drunk
Learning to distinguish between genuine anger and the effects of alcohol on her emotions.
And you swear that you'll change all our ways
Expressing a willingness to change to make the relationship work.
Just to get her to believe you and move into your man cave
Secretly planning to propose with a ring, keeping it hidden for weeks.
How to hide a ring in your pocket for weeks
Expressing love with the four important words, ensuring a positive response.
How to say them four words and make 'em sound so sweet
Confidence that she will never reject the proposal.
That she'd never ever say no, no no no
...
These are the things that you learn
-When your heart just wants to burn, burn
-These are the steps that you take
-When you're only thinking one thing
-And you don't know nothing bout living ever after
-But you know you're nothing unless you get to have her
-And the only thing you want in the world, is a girl
-Oh, you won't believe the way she's got you acting
Expressing the transformative power of love and how it influences behavior.
She'll talk you into things you never thought would happen
Describing how the girl can convince him to do unexpected things.
When the only thing you want in the world, is a girl
Reiterating the central desire for the only thing he wants - the girl.
Mm, yeah, just a girl
...
Just a girl, just a girl
