Hey Girl
Unveiling Heartbreak: The Tale of Love's Trials in 'Hey Girl'
Lyrics
Hey, girl, I know he's put you down
Addressing the girl, acknowledging that she has been mistreated by someone.
For every new love that he has found
Noting that the person has a pattern of finding new love quickly, leaving the girl behind.
Hey, girl, I know your feelin' sad
Expressing awareness of the girl's current state of sadness.
Sad and blue
Describing the girl's emotional state as both sad and blue.
And you think the trouble's not in him
Suggesting that the girl believes the problem lies with herself, not the person causing the trouble.
The trouble's in you (no!)
Rejecting the notion that the trouble is the girl's fault (emphasized by "no!").
I know he's only tryin' to score
Acknowledging the person's tendency to pursue romantic relationships for the sake of conquest.
I've seen him, I've seen him
Confirming personal observation of the person breaking hearts in the past.
Breakin' hearts before
Advising the girl not to criticize or blame the person.
Don't try to put him down
Encouraging the girl not to let the person's actions affect her negatively.
(Don't let him get you down)
Reiterating the advice to avoid being emotionally affected by the person's behavior.
He's the boy I want around
Expressing a personal preference for the person despite his flaws.
(He's not the only boy around)
Noting that the person is not the only romantic option available.
And you, you shouldn't be so blue
Advising the girl not to be overly sad or distressed.
I know there'll be another time
Anticipating future opportunities for a romantic relationship.
But I'll be his
Asserting a claim to the person's affection.
(No, you'll be mine)
Correcting the girl, stating that she will be his, not someone else's.
Hey, girl, although your feelin' sad
Repeating acknowledgment of the girl's sadness.
(I'm sad! I'm
Emphasizing the intensity of the girl's emotions (saying "I'm sad!").
Sad and blue!
Reiterating the girl's emotional state as sad and blue.
Just remember while your feelin' bad
Encouraging the girl to remember that he is waiting for her.
I'm waitin' for you, yeah.
Confirming the commitment to wait for the girl.
Don't try to put him down!
Repeating the advice not to criticize or blame the person.
(Don't let him get you down)
Reiterating the preference for the person despite his flaws.
He's the boy I want around and you
Confirming a commitment to be around for the girl.
(You know I'll always be around)
Assuring the girl that he will always be available.
And you, you shouldn't be so blue
Advising the girl not to be overly sad or distressed.
