LYRICS:
I just want some girl to love me back
Tell me I’m her only
And take away the lonely
This deep love in my heart
Can’t got to waste
Cause if I won’t get to meet God
And I won’t get to be a god
Then at least God let me get loved back by a girl
I just want some girl to talk to me
And tell me that I’m different
Or say that I’m same
I don’t care what she thinks
Just think of me
Cause if I won’t get to meet God
And I won’t get to be a god
Then at least God let me get talked to by a girl
This is what I want
This is what I need
If I ask real nice
Will you give her to me
If I just say please
This is what I need
But if I can’t have that
Well then at least
I just want some girl to look my way
And see that I am better than the others
That I matter
In her life I want to be a friend
Cause if I won’t get to meet God
And I won’t get to be a god
Then at least God let me get noticed by a girl
In this great world
We just plan to live
But you can’t plan love
Love’s from above
And if I do have a choice
I’ll just put one foot in front of the other
I’ll say one word after another
In my voice
If I have a choice
I just want some girl beneath my feet
To tell me I’m her king
And then beg me for a ring
And I want her to be afraid of me
And think that I might leave her
And that I will not believe her
When she says that she loves
and cares for me
Cause if I won’t get to meet God
And I won’t get to be a god
Then at least God let me get worshipped by a girl
In this great world
We just plan to live
But you can’t plan love
Love’s from above
This is what I want
This is what I need
If I ask real nice
Will you give her to me
If I just say please
This is what I need
But if I can’t have that
Well then at least
This is what I want
This is what I say
And this is what I pray

That turned dark quickly. Love it!

Man, this is simply INCREDIBLE. At first I was like, "Wow, at last a song about how us men can feel vulnerable in our longing for love". Then as the song progressed, I started getting this very weird feeling, until it became clear that this was about some toxic incel. Regina managed to illustrate in four minutes how a simple, normal human need can grow into hatred when it's not answered. The video helps to notice this progression, of course...still, this is so brilliant and non-unidimensional, like all complex things in life.

This whole album is incredible lyrically, I'm utterly in awe. I've been a fan since my teens, and I'm in my 30s now, so I feel like I've grown up with Regina, and she's not yet released a song I haven't loved. This one is so hard to listen to though, for the content and the uneasiness, but just... wow. What a poet.

I was already like, "what the hell? Regina, are you okay" then I remembered that this woman never sang from her individual point of view/perspective. Either she's blending tangled but powerful emotions with a million different references, or she's already completely immersed in one character's perspective, for good, for bad, and, almost always, for this giant gray area that embraces it all, the full spectrum of human actions, thoughts or feelings. Oh, how I love this woman.

Wow - what a gut punch. Starts with one man's loneliness which we all can relate to but then it becomes such a frightening fury at his wish for love not being answered. The music is so beautiful too.

I love this song. And for a "lyric video" this is quite good. I like how pictures become more and more chaotic like the lyrics

She had us in the first part, not gonna lie

I listened to this the first time (my first go through the album) laying down with my eyes closed. at the beginning I was like...ooh that's so sweet and gay (didn't read the title, because I was just enjoying the music), I like it! so romantic and cute! I've felt that feeling before, "if I won't get to meet god, and I won't get to be a god, then god let me be noticed by a girl" that's such a clever line! love it! and then "I just want some girl beneath my feet", and it was like I woke up. it was reality snapping back into place. at first confusing, then this aha moment. all the previous lyrics were warning signs. I knew what the song was really about. WOW, regina! fantastic as always!

i love this song so much so here's my take:
i love how it starts innocent enough both lyrically and visually; it's a man's naïve desire for love. the images used are unaltered and upbeat. in the final verses, we see the man's true nature. the background photos are eviction notices and past due notices, and the foreground photos are scribbled over and burnt, representing his true desire and motivation; he's not just an innocent, romantic guy, and there's a reason that he can't find love. he's an "incel" or a "niceguy" with a warped view of women and romance, and is unwilling to improve himself or reevaluate his opinions/worldview.
this song isn't in favor or pity of him, it's a warning about and harsh criticism of men with this mindset. it's also a damn masterpiece

Sometimes a song hits you over the head like a sledgehammer. It says something in a new way. Like a new language has been revealed. A language that has waited to be awakened.. cheers

I love the aesthetic of this one so much and the commentary is immaculate.

Starts cute, but turns dark - Love it!

When I started it was really cute, I thought it could be a wedding song 😅 But even at the start with “tell me that I’m different or the same. I don’t care what she thinks just think of me…” is kind of foreboding and foreshadowing. It’s a beautiful media showing depth and how that human desire for romance can turn twisted. At first, it’s pleading then insisting then belligerent, I love the flow! The visuals 😍 retro pinup collage, as a lyric video can compete with the best music videos out there. Been listening to this album on repeat. Love ❤️ love 💕 Regina for over half my life (33), and she got me through some really tough times. My first songs were Fidelity, Hide and Seek, Us, Samson, Après Moi, and Eet. So glad to hear new music always. 🌺💐✨

I thought this was a cute sapphic song at first, oh my how wrong I was. Beautiful as always!

It’s amazing how she flips it on us. I was so heartbroken by his pleas for just one to love. Then I realized he’s emotionally damaged and toxic. Wow. It happens so often when you find out about people below their surface that looks innocent and kind. You realize they’re really toxic and they just hid it. God she’s a great storyteller.
