Get her name and get her number
Find out all of the things that we have in common
Never all the differences, oh, yeah
Meet her parents, meet her brother
Then she starts sleepin’ over the crib on weekends
Like a real relationship, oh, no
For me, the stars are alignin’
But for her, it’s bad timin’
So she just can’t be mine
I don’t think that I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
All they wanna do is break my heart, my heart (Oh-oh)
I don’t think that I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
They just wanna see me fall apart, apart (Oh-oh)
So I hook up on a rebound
And I say that I’m gonna be single for life
But she’s so pretty and nice (Pretty and nice)
So I made just one exception
But I find out eventually I’m not her type
Baby, that’s the reason why, that
For me, the stars are alignin’
But for her, it’s bad timin’
So she just can’t be mine
I don’t think that I like her anymore (Yeah)
Girls are all the same
All they wanna do is break my heart, my heart (Oh-oh)
I don’t think that I like her anymore (No)
Girls are all the same
They just wanna see me fall apart, apart (Oh-oh)
I’m tryin’ not to be bitter
But damn it, I’ll miss her
‘Cause she’s one of a kind (One of a kind)
For me, the stars are alignin’
But for her, it’s bad timin’
So she just can’t be mine
I don’t think that I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
All they wanna do is break my heart, my heart (Oh-oh)
I don’t think that I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
They just wanna see me fall apart, apart (Oh-oh)
(I don’t think that I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
All they wanna do is break my heart)
Then we fall, we fall, fall, fall apart now
I don’t think that I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
They just wanna see me fall apart, apart (Oh-oh)
Unpacking Heartbreak and Disillusionment
“I Don’t Think That I Like Her” by Charlie Puth captures the cycle of hope and disappointment experienced in modern relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the excitement of new love—meeting someone, discovering common ground, and fostering intimacy—only for it to unravel due to mismatched timing and expectations. Puth’s candid reflection on repeated heartbreak leads him to question whether he’s capable of trusting again, cleverly expressing frustration and vulnerability.
A Universal Struggle with Moving On
The song’s chorus emphasizes the protagonist’s growing cynicism, implying that past experiences have left him guarded and skeptical. Despite attempts to stay optimistic or detached, the longing for connection persists, making the heartbreak even more poignant. Puth’s relatable narrative and melodic hooks make the song resonate with anyone who has ever felt let down by love.
