Birthday Girl

well, we are supposed to be discussing what we personally think the song means... in order to help others get an idea of what songs mean etc. etc. that's what this whole website is about! anyway, i personally think that this song is catchy, and poppy sounding.. i guess you can say. BUT, i think that they lyrics are more than what they sound. They go in deeper, and tell a story. It's a bit hard for me to figure out what the story may be, which is why i came to this site to find answers, but i didn't find any.

I think that it's about a girl (but geared towards girls in general) and how some tend to do things that they aren't really supposed to be doing. some men know, some don't know. stuff like that. and how, now in our world, there is right and wrong, but there always are people that go around it for different reasons.

It's a song about many different things all put together.

i love this song tbh.

pretty sure the lyrics above are incorrect.

What is it we wanna do Chorus Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you? Birthday Girl, it's your birthday Wherever you wanna go. Now you're old enough to go and see the R-rated show now R-rated show

Verse 1 Yo, She said she was a magazine editor named Janine Backstage in high heels and painted on jeans Probably had the most devious eyes I'd ever seen Told me she was twenty-two she was only seventeen She had somethin' to hide she snuck in from outside And got everybody gassed like the car I drive With all that grown lady ass and my far out vibe She said she came to see them roots boy fall out live But listen

Chorus

Verse 2 You see the girls look good but they brains not ready I talk to a woman, her mind is more steady Probably something in the way they designed that's more steady I just let you inside cause the line so heavy But I shoulda known better cause now I feel like America's underbelly R. Kelly, gutter smut peddlers, internet predators, chat-room irregulars This not my twist You tryna send me to the therapist, miss

Chorus

Verse 3 Now she told me cheddar cheese grits Two tomato fried fish Cause she heard it's my dish Tryna be my sidekick All the people all around thinking she was my chick Saying DAMN the girl thick But she ain't no twenty-six Looking at me like am up to somethin' on the funny tip Like I ever really been the one to try to honey drip Its your birthday so let me know the gift you wanna get In fact blow out the candles on the cake and make a wish for me

They can't really seem to look away So they tried asking her to stay Fake I.D. you won't get turned away You look lovely tonight Now you're old enough to buy a gun So many better ways of having fun Right now I can only think of one You look lovely tonight.

Chorus

Uh though this was self explanatory but I guess not.

It's a story about how he gets involved with this girl who tells him she's 22 but she's really 17. The line "Told me she was twenty-two she was only seventeen" states this pretty clearly. When she turns 18 and is finally legal he sings

"What is it we wanna do now that I'm allowed to be alone with you?" It is no longer illegal for him to sleep with her and this coming of age is reinforced by the line

"Wherever you wanna go now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now" This once again shows she's 18 as she's now able to go to R rated films

I love the video to this song :) Very cheeky.

why does this song have so much haters toward it? how/why does it offend you...i can't understand quite yet.

it's a popy song, but the lyrics are ..not

I'm pretty sure the girl's name is Jeanine, not Jenning. That makes no sense.

Also, the girl singing at the end sounds kinda like Regina Spektor.
