She's Sure The Girl I Love
Unconventional Love: Die Toten Hosen's Ode to Imperfect Perfection
Lyrics
"One, two, three, four"
Counting in before the song starts
Sha-la-la-la-la, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetitive vocalizations, expressing excitement or enthusiasm
Sha-la-la-la-la, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Sha-la-la-la-la, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Sure the girl I love
Expressing certainty about the person being referred to as the speaker's beloved
She doesn't look like a movie star
The person the speaker loves doesn't fit societal beauty standards
She doesn't drive a Cadillac car
She doesn't possess luxurious items like a Cadillac car
She ain't the girl I'm a-dreamin' of
The speaker's ideal partner differs from the one they're in love with
But, uh, sure the girl I love
Despite the differences, the speaker is certain about loving this person
She'll never be a queen in lights
She won't achieve fame or public recognition
Although she gonna be my wife
However, she will be the speaker's spouse
She ain't the girl I'm a-dreamin' of
Again highlighting the difference between the speaker's ideal and reality
But, uh, sure the girl I love
Despite the mismatch, the speaker remains sure about their love for her
Well, if she holds me tight
When she embraces the speaker, it feels chaotic yet fulfilling
Everything's goin' crazy as it seems
Expressing that things seem wild or out of control in those moments
I'll be wherever she is
The speaker feels a strong need to align their aspirations with hers
I have to get ahold of our dreams
Striving to achieve their shared dreams
Let's go
She doesn't wear diamonds on her neck
She doesn't wear expensive jewelry
Oh, she got an unemployment check
Her financial situation involves receiving an unemployment check
She ain't the girl I'm a-dreamin' of
Reiterating the mismatch between the speaker's ideal and the reality of their love interest
But, uh, sure the girl I love (the girl I love)
Reaffirming the speaker's unwavering love despite the differences
Come on now!
Encouraging involvement or enthusiasm
Well, if she holds me tight
Reiterating the intense feelings when embraced by the person they love
Everything's goin' crazy as it seems
Expressing the overwhelming nature of these emotions
I'll be wherever she is
Willingness to be wherever she is and support her aspirations
I have to get ahold of her dreams
Striving to achieve shared dreams with her
Let's go
She doesn't wear diamonds on her neck
Repeating the lack of luxury items she possesses
Oh, she got an unemployment check
Highlighting her financial situation
She ain't the girl I'm dreamin' of
Emphasizing the discrepancy between the speaker's dream and reality
But, uh, she sure the girl I love
Restating the certainty of the speaker's love despite these differences
Sha-la-la-la-la, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetitive vocalizations, expressing excitement or enthusiasm
Sha-la-la-la-la, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Sha-la-la-la-la, yeah, yeah, yeah
-She's sure the girl I love
Reaffirming that the person being described is indeed the one the speaker loves
