Lyrics
Hey girl I know you feeling so abused
Recognizing the feeling of being mistreated or taken advantage of
You walk around smiling but you really ain't amused
Despite outward appearances, the smile masks inner dissatisfaction
Looking for that love but in all the wrong dudes
Seeking love but attracting the wrong type of individuals
At first things are fine in the end you feeling used
Initially, things seem good, but eventually, there's a sense of being used
Im in shock like dang you gorgeous
Awe at the stunning appearance of the person being addressed
You should walk around like beware explosive
Suggesting caution due to the potential explosiveness of one's beauty or aura
Your soul Is like a firework that went unnoticed
Comparing the unnoticed brightness of the soul to an unappreciated firework
You cant even tell cause your heart is broken
Invisible emotional turmoil despite an outward appearance of normalcy
Don't you let them take your heart away
Encouraging not to lose oneself despite hardships
Maybe cause your pops living far away
Speculating that distance from a father figure might affect emotional state
You feeling so alone cause he was never home
Feeling lonely due to the absence of a father figure
And he never really was just a call away
The father wasn’t emotionally available despite physical distance
If only he gave you a call a day
A wish for more consistent communication from the father
Besides all the weekends and holidays
Aside from occasional contact, longing for more frequent connection
Then maybe then he could be your greatest friend
Imagining a better relationship with the father to alter present feelings
And you wouldn't be feeling the way you are today
Suggesting that a better father-daughter relationship would change current emotions
But...
Transitioning to a positive affirmation despite the past hardships
Girl you're special you don't have to be ashamed
Emphasizing individual uniqueness and worthiness
Many people going through the same thing
Highlighting that others face similar struggles
Mistreatment, neglect, the lack of respect
Identifying common issues: mistreatment, neglect, lack of respect
But baby you could learn how to dance in the rain
Encouraging finding joy despite hardships
So start moving and feel free tonight
Encouraging movement and freedom from emotional constraints
Self expression is a key to life
Expressing oneself is crucial for a fulfilling life
Groove in the room move baby move
Encouraging dancing and displaying oneself positively
And show everybody how you doing tonight
Encouraging to showcase a positive demeanor
And sing da da da da da da da da
Repetition of the idea that life might not be as bad as perceived
La da da da da da da da
-La da da da da da da da
-Maybe life isn't too bad after all
-La da da da da da da da
-La da da da da da da da
-La da da da da da da da
-Maybe life isn't too bad after all
Repetition emphasizing the possibility that life may not be as negative as thought
