Click Five - Just the Girl

"Just the Girl" by Click Five clearly and whole-heartedly describes the feelings a guy has for a girl. She is "bittersweet;" someone who is nice, but mean at one point, cruel, but mysterious at another. The whole idea is that whether it may be from a man's perspective or a woman's, the Id part of our minds exemplifies our needs. It does not matter whether the girl this guy has fallen for in the song is pretty or downright ugly, the way she acts and portrays herself attracts the guy to her even more. Her behavior towards the guy is not the nicest anyone can ever be to anyone else. In the lyrics it states, "She laughs at my dreams but I dream about her laughter, Strange as it seems, she's the one I'm after." In any case, the singer has completely fallen for a girl who has no respect for him whatsoever, but because her behavior is "bittersweet" he finds himself to be unconsciously attracted to her. His mental state of mind determines her as an attractive, beautiful girl and no matter how discourteous and offensive she may be his needs to love a girl matters to him most. He imagines her being in his life; loving her, caring for her, and she may possibly satisfy his every need. He is fully engaged with his deepest affections toward this girl who "ignores him, she won't pick up the phone when she sees its him on the caller ID" but because she behaves in this way, he has fallen for her unconsciously. I believe that all three, Id, ego, and superego come into play because for the Id, his needs are being met because of her attitude towards him he enjoys running after her. His ego which is his conscious state of mind is well awake realizing that whatever she does, she does it to obliterate him from her life. His realization about that is clearly sought out in the lyrics because even though he is aware of the attitude she has for the guy, yet he is in consistent love for her. His superego is also plays a big part here because knowing that she is brutal toward his feelings for her and constantly pushes him away not wanting to do anything with him, the guy still has fallen head over heels for her not wanting to let go. He is up in the air wanting to care for her, love her, and give her all his attention. This song portrays the affects of the Id, ego, and superego in some obvious ways replacing every one of the girl's negative attitude with the boy's positive outlook of her.
