I Got A Girl

i think when he says 'and shes got a guy' he means himself. its all one girl, a girl he loves who's like all girls, complicated and sometimes lame but loveable.

I haven't listened to this song in years! I used to always just think it was sort of comical, especially the last line. But as I write this, the way I'm perceiving the lyrics, are of course associated with recent events that have happened in my life. So I figure I'll write this as a first person post, where I and the singer are one person. Hope my thoughts are relevant:

VERSE 1: I got a girl who lives with me-- in the beginning lines of this song I'm indicating the near beginnings or middle of a relationship. Me and this girl are living together. It's perfect. She smells so sweetly. She's my guiding light. I know what it is. It's good.

I need this. And I can just see this relationship taking off. Higher and higher. It's beautiful.

VERSE 2: This is a sort of "second stage of the relationship". Things are going great for us it seems. We get a long for the most part. She's got some sick kicks, and she gets naked in those kicks. Nice! BUT there are some issues cropping up. Arguments, anytime/all the time. She's not afraid to speak up about any little issue. And most of all so often our arguments lead to her crossing the line or knocking down emotional walls that shouldn't be crossed.

Well I know we're going higher and higher. But not in the same way as before. Now I'm feeling anxious about the relationship. The kind of floating feeling you get just before falling in a dream. It's scary.

BRIDGE:

Simple. This is the breakup. She's bitching out, I'm feeling down. She's asking questions, becoming untrusting, and in turn I feel even more anxious. I cant do this anymore. I'm out.

VERSE 3:

I'm regretting it. I should have stuck it out. We had a great connection so we're trying the whole "friends thing". We talk like we're best friends. Share everything. I'm realizing I love to kiss this girl. I never want to miss this girl, but now she won't even hold my hand.

We still talk, laugh, but she's moving on, she's got her girlfriends, some of them are pretty hott too. But I can't go there. I won't go there.

I need what we had. But, well, I know I can't have it with her. And now I feel us growing higher, or further and further apart.

I got a girl, she's not "mine", but still a girl I'm stuck on. Ya I got a girl I can't get over. But I've watched this all fall apart, I've let her move on, and now... She's got a [new] guy.

The beauty of any art form is the different perceptions that different people can bring to the table. This is what I believe the song meant, it's what it means to me. But it struck me as familiar on so many levels I cant help but think it's right.

i love this song! tripping daisy ROX :)

I love this song as well.

But I don't think that he is singing about his girlfriend. Maybe a girl who is like his best friend or is. Nice twist, huh.

I had a girl like that once.

:P this song is soo kool... Its a Very happy song picks u up when ur feeling low

the_Edge ...

"I got a girl she's my best friend" "And she's got a guy"

obviously.

"I got a girl i love to kiss" Not obviously. I suppose it could be about a friend, but I think it is his girlfriend. It's a cheeky song, so it could be that she is cheating, or that his is refereing to himself.

Ahh... But here's something to think about. Who says that the whole song is in reference to one girl? ;)

i know i got a girl!!!

Old school song, but it still fucking rocks all the same.

Tripping Daisy kicks ass you mo-fo's
