Take A Look At My Girlfriend


Gym Class Heroes Lyrics

 

About

It features the chorus of "Breakfast in America," which is a great song by Supertramp. The song deals with the journey of seeking love in which it is described that the person had many girlfriends and this search for an ideal relationship. That goes from the ebbs to the flows of love, capturing the concept of youthfully inspired relationships longing to have that person understanding and cherishing one for being you. The music video helps in putting the song into perspective, where a series of relationships that the protagonist, Travis McCoy, goes through each ending for different reasons until he can finally have a lasting connection with a fan portrayed by Katy Perry. This is the symbolism in the story beyond the misdirection of Cupid's arrows of love, hinting serendipitously at the fickle, misdirected arrows of love found with his or her true beloved. Listeners and fans have interpreted the song in various ways. Some may consider it a testimonial to struggle on the one hand, seeking the right partner amidst the misdirections by Cupid, and on the other, a celebration when they finally meet someone who makes pancakes or has a unique ringtone for them. This is seen as the protagonist escaping "Cupid's chokehold," a metaphor for the challenging quest for love​​. It had great commercial success, including several charters in many countries, and satisfied a lot of listeners with its catchy chorus and appealing lyrics. In fact, the reason why it had more than 85 million plays on platforms like Last.fm became very clear for me as I dived deeper into the scrobbles and number of listeners this song enjoys. Cupid's chokehold, generally, captures the universal theme perfectly in the search for love, the thrills from new relationships, and above all, personal development that makes one withstand the complexities of romance. This composition is powerful in the narrative, brilliant in the catchy melody, and latticing of styles. It is a brilliant whole on its own within the Gym Class Heroes canon.

Take A Look At My Girlfriend by Gym Class Heroes


Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been some time since we last spoke
This is gonna sound like a bad joke
But momma I fell in love again
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
And I know it sounds so old
But cupid got me in a chokehold
And I'm afraid I might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin'
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is
We even got a secret handshake
And she loves the music that my band makes
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun
(Ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been awhile since we talked last and I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast
But dad I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son
And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)
I love it when she calls my phone
She even got her very own ringtone
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)
It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
And I open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
She's got a smile that would make the most senile
Annoying old man bite his tongue
I'm not done
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise
And it doesn't stop there
Man I swear
She's got porcelain skin of course she's a ten
And now she's even got her own song
But movin' on
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours
Not sayin' one word
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future she's the main component
Call it dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but
Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like here
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
