Singular Girl Lyrics

Well you can tell it to the radio, tell it to the television
They are not listening, they are only machines

I could sit around all day worrying and wishing
I was one of them so you could tell it to me

Talking to you girl is like long division
Yeah, I've been trying to find you
May I remind you I'm under oath now?
I've been trying to see you
'Cause I can see you want the truth now
I've been trying to tell you that I can tell
You are a singular girl

Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on plate tectonics
You thought I wasn't listening but I was

Talk about attraction, talk about electronics
You are the reason, you are because

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i came here to get some insight on this song and find nothing, so ill take a stab at it

i think what happened is the narrator lied to a girl (May I remind you I'm under oath now?) who refuses to see/talk to him because of it (I could sit around all day worrying and wishing, I was one of them so you could tell it to me). afterward he realised that he was wrong and that she is special (I can tell You are a singular girl). so hes desperate to talk to her to let her know hes sorry ('Cause I can see you want the truth now, I've been trying to tell you)

i think this is about being in a relationship with someone who won't open up to you, but seems to do so with everyone else. she'll even tell the television, but not you. so you try to convince her she can trust you by telling her how much she means to you.
