Fell In Love With A Girl Lyrics
Fell in love with a girl
I fell in love once and almost completely
She's in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings
Can be so misleading
She turns and said "are you alright?"
I said "I must be fine cause my heart's still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside, yeah
Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now
Red hair with a curl
mellow roll for the flavor
and the eyes for peeping
can't keep away from the girl
these two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
can't think of anything to do yeah
my left brain knows that our love is fleeting
she just looking for something new
and I said it once before but it bears repeating now
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
can't think of anything to do yeah
my left brain knows that our love is fleeting
she's just looking for something new
and I said it once before but it bears repeating now
Fell in love with a girl
i fell in love once and almost completely
she's in love with the world
but sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
she turns and said "are you alright?"
I said "I must be fine cause my heart's still beating
come and kiss me by the riverside, yeah
Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now
can't think of anything to do yeah
my left brain knows that our love is fleeting
she just looking for something new
and I said it once before but it bears repeating now

This song is about a teenage girl who likes to mess with guys and does not consider the consequences of her actions, leaving broken hearts behind as she tramples on through life.
"Fell in love with a girl I fell in love once and almost completely"
Obviously, her fell in love with her. The word "once" implies that he's left behind scarred and has had it with relationships. "Almost completely" means that he was willing to die for her, while on the other hand she probably didn't even remember his birth date.
"She's in love with the world"
She messes around with many different guys, love is really just a platitude here. The more you share your love with the world, the less every individual gets. It waters down to nothing but shallowness when shared with the whole world / countless guys. Or do you really think a girl can have meaningful relationships with 8 different guys at the same time?
"But sometimes these feelings Can be so misleading"
This means that guys, in this case him, falsely interpret her shallow attention and affection as love, and by that I mean exclusive love, just him and her. But that is not the case, since she has many guys. He could have known better, but was maybe always hoping for her to realize that him and her belong together, which never happened.
"She turns and said "are you alright?" I said "I must be fine cause my heart's still beating"
She is obviously aware of the fact that she is causing him emotional damage, but probably doesn't really care about it. He is aware of the harm she is causing him but because he does not want to lose her he sticks around anyway.
"Come and kiss me by the riverside, yeah Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now"
To make up for the pain she caused she offers him to make out. But then at the same time she turns around bringing up Bobby, probably her current 'main' boyfriend, implying that this kissing won't really lead anywhere. I mean is this what you want to hear when you are about to kiss the girl you love? That it is fine for her boyfriend? Probably not.
The fact that she offers kissing rather than more serious activities makes me believe they are teens.
The chorus just goes over describing what he loves about her outward appearance and that he knows she is poison for him, but at the same time he cannot make a clean cut and shove her away for good.
His left and right sides of the brain, the two hemispheres, are battling. Often (yet scientifically doubted) associated with the left side being more rational and analytical, the right side being emotional.
"she just looking for something new"
Means that she really doesn't care about the individual and just does whatever she feels like at the moment, leaving broken hearts behind everywhere.
I like the song, yet is the only song I know from this band. Obviously I went trough all this with a girl and I will just warn all those guys out there, BE AWARE because the sweet little girl you just adore might just like to keep you around to play with for years for whenever she is bored or her 'boyfriend' is on vacation or something.
Do not buy into that whole best friends bs and find a real girlfriend that loves you unconditionally. Do not waste several years on a person like that.
Especially young girl like to test out what they can do with the "female power" and only later in life they learn what harm it causes.
This song cannot have another meaning. :-)
i love the music video! it's neato!
Very creative music video and a very cool song.
I've been hearing this song on the radio a lot lately, but I saw the video for the first time this morning. Flipping through, all you see is girls, money, cars, money, jewelry..blah blah...it's very refreshing to see something original on tv.
this song makes me think about that one girl who you know will say no and then when she does your so surprised (Janelle Plante)

Alternate Title: I fell in love with a girl who fell in love with a girl
how do you figure? i kind of think it has a tiny bit of a lesbian theme, but why do YOU think that?
he says "bobby says its fine he don't consider it cheating," bobby being her boyfriend.

no i think its not really like a lesbian issue more like a girl who wants to be a star all the time and how its a bad idea to fall for a social climbing chick thats just my opinion the important thing here is thank god good rocka dn roll and blues are back
if you listen to the song as if a girl is singing it definitely sounds has a lesbian theme. like two young girls being attracted to each other, one is enthusiastic and the other thinks she only wants to experiment "the love is fleeting", but is attracted to her none the less hence the confusion... "bobby said its fine he dont consider it cheating", if it was about a boy and a girl then why would the boyfriend not consider it cheating?

@stevycurley892 - they seem to be quite free people, from the lyrics. i could imagine that if the singer was a guy it'd still make sense; it's only a kiss, so it doesn't really matter.

I love this song - it's so great to just jump around to! On the lesbian theme, I wouldn't know, but there's a Blur somg called "Girls and Boys" which has the lyrics "girls who do boys like they're girls who do girls like they're boys"! Make what you will...
This song rocks, it rocks hard.
A Kick Ass song !! its freakin awesome they rock! Hey every one should the hives, the strokes,Black Rebel Motorcycle Club the all have that Manhattan East village sound the sound like these guys!
