The Long List of Girls Lyrics

you don't have to do that
rub up on me boy i love you enough
you won't loose my love just back away
take a weapon and aim it at someone you'll stay with
you don't have to do that
rub up on me boy i love you enough
you won't loose my love just back away
take a weapon and aim it at someone you'll stay with

watch where you point with that true love
fair: aim it up above
the sky is the only target wide enough to take it
when you aim at a heart all you ever seem to do it break it

i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you

you don't have to do that 
rub up on me boy i love you enough 
you won't loose my love just back away 
take a weapon and aim it at someone you'll stay with 
you don't have to do that 
rub up on me boy i love you enough 
you won't loose my love just back away 
take a weapon and aim it at someone you'll stay with

watch where you point with that true love
fair: aim it up above
the sky is the only target wide enough to take it
when you aim at a heart all you ever seem to do it break it

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 think the guy in this song is indecisive. He wants to be in love, he wants to have a meaningful relationship, but just doesn't seem able to settle- so he has multiple ones, trying to decide. The intentions are well- there wouldn't be a long list of girls who love the shit out of him if he wasn't a cool, decent guy. But how he goes about everything is wrong. It's not fair to everyone- playing with their emotions and pretty much teasing them. He's here and there- so no one expects him to be a certain way or do anything, but the hope still resides in 'hopefully he'll choose me one day' "we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you". The singer is settling on that, and just being on the long list- pretty much, she's in limbo with a guy who's in limbo. Which sucks.

this song seems ironic. some guy thinks he's the shit. he thinks he can do whatever he wants and women will still want him.

It's pretty self-explanatory, the singer loves this guy, and also acknowledges that there are a lot of girl smitten with him. "Watch where you point with that true love/ fair: aim it up above/ the sky is the only target wide enough to take it"
