Young Lady (feat. Father John Misty) Lyrics

In my head your smile appears clear
Wish it wasn't my imagination
But in a way it was a dream
Your eyes they tell it all, called it
Hope you got a good heart, and you're smart
You got a good head on your shoulders

That's what turns a nigga on, strong
Feeling that I have,
Probably never, find out ever
I'll admire from afar, star
keep doing all them great things you're doin'
you got it goin on young lady

Jesus Christ, girl!
You got it goin on young lady

How'd you get so fuckin cool?
Fools probably tryna spit at you daily
The price you pay cause you hot
Has anyone told you that you fresh as hell
And I dig the way you wear your hair too,
It makes you look more mature
See I just want to be a man, and
I think you can be the one to guide me,
but who the fuck am I kidding.
And you know they say I'm wild but,
real people rarely come around if ever,
you go it goin' on young lady.

Jesus Christ, girl!
You got it goin on young lady

You turn a nigga on, these feelings I have
You'll find out never, unless you're clever
I admire from afar, star
Keep doing all the good things you're doing
You got it going on young lady
Jesus Christ girl.

Jesus Christ, girl!
You got it goin on young lady

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.

This song is about liking a girl who might be too good for you. This girl is intelligent, beautiful, and she has it together. Cudi sings about her with an unusual amount of respect his genre and his feelings are clear. She isn't your usual chick, she's a "young lady." As we can tell, Cudi really admires this girl for her class but he feels like he wouldn't be good for her. "Who the fuck am I kidding?" The two lead different lifestyles and he knows finding someone he likes this way and might like him back is rare- "People rarely come around if ever." He doesn't want to be another "fool" trying to "spit at her," thus, he can't bring himself to share his feelings. "You'll find out never, unless you're clever. I'll admire from afar..."

One of my favorite Kid Cudi songs.This is because it actually describes my current situation with my long-term crush. I've literally had it on replay ever since I first heard it. Cudi talks about this special young lady whom he undoubtedly loves, but he thinks he isn't good enough for her, sadly ( But who the fuck am I kidding). He respects her alot during the song. He really wants her but is too afraid to express his feelings towards her so instead (admires from a far star), where she's completely unaware about it. (These feelings I have for you. You'll find out never, unless you're clever). She's being described as gorgeous, amazing, and unforgettable.

I agree, sounds like its someone that Cudi really cares about, yet hasn't really expressed it to them. How could he NOT be good enough for he though...King Wizard needs to man up
