In this song, this guy has basically found his soulmate and wants to make sure that no one else has her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evaluating Masculinity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Couple billion in the whole wide world<br \/>\nFind another one &#8217;cause she belongs to me&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In this lyric, we can see some assertiveness coming from the guy. He&#8217;s telling all the other guys to back off. It&#8217;s almost competitive in a way. He&#8217;s saying something like &#8220;You guys go pick someone else but I have the best girl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t exist<br \/>\nIf I don&#8217;t have her&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to point this lyric out because while we saw some dominance expressed before, this lyric isn&#8217;t very characteristic of someone who is independent. I just think the contrast between the assertiveness and the dependence is interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evaluating Femininity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the guy here, this girl is practically perfect. She&#8217;s got the same goals as him, her parents like him, and is hot. I mean she has to be great because everyone wants her right? As far as actually getting to know what makes this girl so perfect, we don&#8217;t really get too much. Yeah she has the same dreams as the guy here, but we don&#8217;t know what those are. The whole message of the song is to basically protect her from everyone else which is also interesting. As opposed to being a love song about everything this guy loves about this girl, it&#8217;s about just having this girl and not letting anyone else near her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 12th song I will be looking at is &#8220;Steal My Girl&#8221; off of the album\u00a0Four.
