Lyrics
Hey, girl what are you tryin' to do
Trying to understand your intentions or actions
You've been staring at yourself in the mirror for an hour or two
Noticing that you've been contemplating yourself in the mirror for an extended period
Hey, girl who are ya tryin' to be
Questioning the persona you are attempting to portray
Are you painting yourself a picture of you and me
Wondering if you are creating an image or vision of us together
No nobody knows you like I do
Emphasizing a unique understanding of you that others lack
Like I do
Reiterating the depth of knowledge about you
And you run, run, run
Observing you actively avoiding or distancing yourself
From the one you love
Noting your continuous effort to escape the love from someone special
And you run, run, run
Highlighting your persistent running away from the world we share
From the world we own
Emphasizing the collective ownership of our shared world
Hey, girl what are we supposed to do
Seeking clarity on what actions to take in our situation
Are you leaving it up to the heavens for guiding you
Wondering if you are relying on fate or external forces to guide your decisions
Hey, girl don't be surprised if one day
Advising not to be shocked if, eventually, self-reflection leads to remorse
You take another look in that mirror
Suggesting a potential realization and reconsideration in the future
And regret your ways
Hinting at the possibility of regret for current choices
No nobody knows you like I do
Reiterating the depth of understanding about you, emphasizing uniqueness
Like I do
Restating the special knowledge possessed about you
