Boys Aside
Beyond Boys: A Musical Tale of Love and Liberation
Lyrics
It goes on and on and on
Expressing a sense of continuity and persistence.
I knew theres something going wrong
Awareness of something going wrong or being amiss.
You kept looking all around
Observing someone looking around, possibly signaling unease.
And got my head turned upside down
Feeling disoriented or emotionally affected by the situation.
You know what the other boys could do
Acknowledging the capabilities of other boys.
I think its time for something new
Expressing a desire for change or something different.
So here take my hand it's all for you
Offering support and connection by extending a hand.
And lets do what we wanna do
Encouraging the idea of doing what they both want.
Me and you, me and you
Emphasizing unity between "me and you."
Like monkeys in the summer, monkeys in the summer
Using a metaphor of monkeys in the summer to convey carefree enjoyment.
I wanted you to be my baby girl tonight
Expressing a desire for a romantic connection tonight.
And all the other boys could just say goodbye
Indicating a readiness to leave other boys behind.
And once you get a little piece of mine
Suggesting a significant emotional connection.
You can just set all of those other boys aside
Encouraging exclusivity by setting aside other boys.
(Aside)
Reiterating the act of setting aside others (Aside).
And I know you've got it going on
Acknowledging the attractiveness or positive qualities of the person.
So I swear it won't take too long
Promising a swift resolution to existing relationships (Jimmy Jon and Ron).
To drop Jimmy Jon and ron
Referring to specific individuals in the context of moving on.
And get you under my arm
Expressing a desire to be close to the person.
I promise I'll be good to you
Promising to treat the person well.
And I think its time for something new
Reiterating the need for something new or different.
Here take my hand it's all for you
Extending the offer of support and connection again.
And lets do what we wanna do
Encouraging the idea of doing what they both want, echoing line 8.
Me and you, me and you
Emphasizing unity between "me and you," echoing line 9.
Like monkeys in the summer, monkeys in the summer
Using the monkey metaphor to convey carefree enjoyment again.
I wanted you to be my baby girl tonight
Reiterating the desire for a romantic connection tonight.
And all the other boys could just say goodbye
Reaffirming the readiness to leave other boys behind, echoing line 12.
And once you get a little piece of mine
Reiterating the significant emotional connection, echoing line 13.
You can just set all of those other boys aside
Reiterating the encouragement of exclusivity, echoing line 14.
(Aside)
Reiterating the act of setting aside others (Aside), echoing line 15.
So you are my baby girl -irl -irl -irl
Affirming a special relationship and expressing it through repetition.
We rule the world -orld -orld -orld
Claiming a sense of dominance or influence in their world, echoed through repetition.
You can break my heart
Acknowledging vulnerability with the possibility of heartbreak.
You can break my heart
Repeating the acceptance of potential heartbreak.
You can break my heart
Repeating the acceptance of potential heartbreak, emphasizing resilience.
I wanted you to be my baby girl tonight
Reiterating the desire for a romantic connection tonight, echoing line 26.
And all the other boys could just say goodbye
Reaffirming the readiness to leave other boys behind, echoing line 27.
And once you get a little piece of mine
Reiterating the significant emotional connection, echoing line 28.

Reiterating the encouragement of exclusivity, echoing line 29.

Reiterating the act of setting aside others (Aside), echoing line 30.
