Lyrics to pop songs seldom mean anything—at least at the point they are written. But they usually gather meaning over time. For example if you just search the phrase, you will get the literal meaning. If you reverse-engineer them, it's the typical hook. The idea must have been the title because it's in the hook, then beyond the first stanza, the rest is love song filler: Hey, girl, stop what you're doin', Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin, I don't know what it is I like about you, but I like it a lot... [This is essentially what I'm doing with Songdays, where I cherry-pick words and phrases and then assemble them in such a way that meaning becomes a by-product. In pop music, no one is thinking that every song is a story, and words are sometimes just a form of percussion or are otherwise filling a vocal space with something] 5/10 "lyrics": Ava, Ava Seemed too human Barely born Then deified
