Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)

[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette

Try to brush it off my …
Put your make-up on
Get your nails done
Curl your hair
Run the extra mile
Keep it slim so they like you,1 do they like you?
Get your sexy on
Don’t be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong, so they like you2
Do you like you?3
You don’t have to try so hard4
You don’t have to, give it all away5
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing6
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to try
Mm, mm
Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards7
You don’t have to choose, buy it all, so they like you
Do they like you?
Wait a second,
Why, should you care, what they think of you8
When you’re all alone, by yourself, do you like you?
Do you like you?
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to try
Mm, mm
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to try
Take your make-up off
Let your hair down
Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself9
Don’t you like you?
‘Cause I like you10
This song is an encouragement to young females to be themselves despite the heavy demands and standards of others. These days, girls are socialized to “compete” for beauty and social status. Young girls even believe that have to look like models on TV and in magazines, most of whom are visually edited in expensive computer programs. Colbie Caillat wants to encourage girls to simply be themselves, because they are already beautiful and important.
“Take it off…so they like you” refers to young girls playing sex because they want social acceptance.
“Do you like you” is a more important question than “do they like you.”
Colbie Caillat encourages girls not to obsess over others’ standards. Trying too hard becomes draining and leads to undesirable habits and feelings.
“Give it all away” means giving up who you are.
Rather than seeing the beauty in oneself, young girls often project their ideas of beauty outwardly. Colbie Caillat discourages this.
Shopping for everything implies that there is a certain unattainable economic standard placed on girls by society. Wearing fashionable clothes and buying meaningless things indicate that someone needs the affirmation of others.
Colbia Caillat is encouraging females not to care about other peoples’ opinions so much.
Taking away the layers of make-up, etc. is a metaphor for revealing who you truly are inside.
Colbie Caillat ends the song by saying that even if others don’t like you, she does.
