Lyrics
Ain't she lovely
Acknowledging her attractiveness and charm
Ain't she the joy
Recognizing her as a source of joy and happiness
She's been all the centre and more of your world
She's been the focal point and even more significant in your life
Oh sweet Kayla
Referring to Kayla in an endearing manner
Throws a cut to my jaw
Metaphorically speaking about being emotionally hurt by Kayla
They say she who first deals the blow sets the law
Initial actions can set the tone for the entire situation
But she can hardly be me
Comparing oneself to Kayla but feeling inferior
And you don't wanna know me
The person doesn't want to be known or associated with
Shadow on the floor
Representation of feeling overshadowed or overlooked
Why do I want more?
Questioning one's desire for more, potentially in the relationship
How pathetic
Expressing self-criticism and a sense of inadequacy
I'm fighting a beauty
Feeling like fighting against something beautiful or desirable
Why would you be in such a bad hurry to leave
Questioning the rush to leave a situation involving Kayla
With sweet Kayla?
Referencing the desire to understand Kayla's motives
I don't get what's your deal
Confusion about someone's intentions or behavior
Boys are only enamoured by empty appeal
Belief that guys are attracted to superficial qualities
Yeah she can hardly be me
Comparing oneself unfavorably to Kayla
And you don't wanna know me
Reiteration of not wanting to be known or understood
Shadow on the floor
Feeling insignificant or unnoticed
Why do I want more?
Questioning the desire for more, perhaps affection or attention
Don't tell me to be less obsessive with wanting you to notice me
Resisting advice to reduce obsession with seeking attention
I'm boxing with Kayla in hopes that if I win, you would notice me
Fighting metaphorically in the hope of gaining attention
I want so badly to have what she so easily has
Longing for what Kayla effortlessly possesses
Enough with the love-yourself bullshit; love always goes to someone else
Rejecting self-affirmation as love always goes to someone else
Glory to the queen of the ring
Acknowledging Kayla's dominance or success in the situation
Seems to me that I'll never win
Feeling hopeless about winning the person's affection
your heart - my gloves can never break in
Unable to emotionally penetrate the person's defenses
I'll be deluded to think it could
Realization that hopes might be unfounded
I know she's a real wild card
Referring to Kayla as unpredictable
She gets all that she wants and you stay guard
She gets what she wants while the person remains vigilant
I'm knocked off the ground
Feeling emotionally defeated
Maybe I'll never be found
Fearing being lost or overlooked
Oh sweet Kayla
Reiteration of Kayla's impact
I don't get what's your deal
Confusion about someone's intentions or behavior
Boys are only enamoured by empty appeal
Belief that guys are attracted to superficial qualities
Yeah she can hardly be me
Comparing oneself unfavorably to Kayla
And you don't wanna know me
Reiteration of not wanting to be known or understood
Shadow on the floor
Feeling insignificant or unnoticed
Why do I want more?
Questioning the desire for more, perhaps affection or attention
