Just the Girl
Bittersweet Obsession: Chasing a Mysterious Love
Lyrics
She's cold and she's cruel,
Describing the girl as emotionally distant and unkind.
But she knows what she's doing.
Despite her behavior, she's aware of her actions.
She pushed me in the pool
Recalling a past incident where she pushed the speaker into a pool at a school reunion.
At our last school reunion.
Specifically referring to the action at the last school reunion.
She's laughs about my dreams,
She ridicules the speaker's aspirations, but they find her laughter captivating.
But I dream about her laughter.
The speaker dreams about her laughter despite her mockery.
Strange as it seems
Expressing the oddity of the situation—the speaker pursues her despite her behavior.
She's the one I'm after.
Despite her demeanor, the speaker is drawn to her.
( 1, 2, 3, 4)
Repetition of the chorus emphasizing the speaker's fascination and desire for this enigmatic girl.
'Cause she's bittersweet,
-She knocks me off of my feet,
-And I can't help myself
-I don't want anyone else.
-She's a mystery,
-She's too much for me,
-But I keep coming back for more.
-She's just the girl I'm looking for.
-(Just the girl I'm looking for)
Reiteration of the girl being the one the speaker is seeking.
(She's just the girl I'm looking for)
-She can't keep a secret
She can't keep a secret for long.
For more than an hour.
Her honesty or lack of discretion is likened to high-proof alcohol.
She runs on one hundred proof
Her attitude is potent and influential.
Attitude power, and the more
The more she ignores the speaker, the more infatuated they become.
She ignores me the more
Repetition of the chorus reinforcing the speaker's irresistible attraction towards her.
I adore her. What can I do?
-I'd do anything for her.
-(1, 2, 3, 4)
-'Cause she's bittersweet,
Repetition of the chorus indicating the intensity of the speaker's feelings despite her actions.
She knocks me off of my feet,
-And I can't help myself
-I don't want anyone else.
-She's a mystery, she's
-Too much for me, but I keep coming back
-For more. She's just the girl
-I'm looking for.
-The way she sees it's me,
The speaker's determination to persist despite her detachment, suggesting they can't forget her words.
On her caller ID, she won't
-Pick up the phone, she'd rather
-Be alone. But I can't give up
-Just yet, 'cause every word she's ever
-Said, is still ringing in my head.
-Is still ringing in my head.
-She's cold and she's cruel
Reiteration of her behavior affecting the speaker deeply.
But she knows what she's
-Doing. Knows just what to say,
-So my whole day is ruined.
-'Cause she's bittersweet,
Repetition of the chorus emphasizing the speaker's inability to resist her allure.
She knocks me off of my feet,
-And I can't help myself I don't
-Want anyone else. She's a mystery,
-She's too much for me, but I keep
-Coming back for more.
-'Cause she's bittersweet,
Continued repetition of the chorus underlining the speaker's persistent attraction towards her.
She knocks me off of my feet,
-And I can't help myself

-Oh, I keep coming back for more.

Emphasizing that she is indeed the girl the speaker desires.
I'm looking for.

-Just the girl (I'm looking for)
Reiteration of the chorus emphasizing the sole focus on finding this girl.
She's just the girl (I'm looking for)
-Just the girl (I'm looking for)
-Just the girl I'm looking for.
