Swiping Right Or Left On Me
“Swiping Right or Left on Me” is a lighthearted reggae song about modern dating, quick judgments, and the strange little world we’ve built inside our phones. One picture, three lines of text, one flick of a thumb — and apparently that’s enough to decide somebody’s entire fate.
But behind the joke is a simple thought: people are always more interesting than a profile card. You can’t hear kindness in a photograph, you can’t swipe right on somebody’s laugh, and sometimes the best part of a person takes a little longer than half a second to discover.
So whether you swipe left, swipe right, or just put the phone down and say hello — keep it easy, keep it human, and enjoy the groove. 😄📱🌴🎶

Lyrics
Oh yeah
Everybody got a little screen these days
One thumb making big decisions
Easy now
You saw my picture for a second or two
Read three little lines, thought you already knew
Maybe my smile was wrong, maybe my hat was right
Maybe I survived your inspection tonight
One little flick and I'm out of the race
Sent to that mysterious digital place
But before your thumb decides my destiny
There's a little more than pixels here to see
Are you swiping right or left on me?
Tell me, darling, what did you really see?
One little picture on your telephone
Ain't enough to say you know me
Swipe me left, swipe me right
Make your mind up in the middle of the night
But if you wanna know what's in my soul
Put down the phone and say hello
She says she loves long walks along the shore
Everybody says that, I've read it before
He says he's six foot two and loves to cook
Funny how much taller people get inside a book
Everybody's climbing mountains every week
Everybody's funny, thoughtful, kind and unique
Nobody snores and nobody gets mad
And apparently nobody ever had a day that's bad
Are you swiping right or left on me?
Tell me, darling, what did you really see?
One little picture on your telephone
Ain't enough to say you know me
Swipe me left, swipe me right
Make your mind up in the middle of the night
But if you wanna know what's in my soul
Put down the phone and say hello
Then I caught my finger doing just the same
Picture, little bio, funny little name
Left, left, right, moving down the line
Giving every stranger half a second's time
I laughed at myself and put the phone away
Maybe there's a better way to spend the day
If I want somebody looking deeper into me
Maybe I should offer them the same courtesy
Maybe you're messy, maybe I'm strange
Maybe neither one of us needs to change
Maybe your laugh is louder than I thought it'd be
Maybe that's exactly what I need
You can't hear kindness in a photograph
You can't swipe right on the way somebody laughs
Some of the finest things you'll ever find
Need more than half a second of your time
Are you swiping right or left on me?
Tell me, darling, what did you really see?
One little picture on your telephone
Ain't enough to say you know me
Swipe me left, swipe me right
Either way, you know I'll be alright
But if you wanna know what's in my soul
Put down the phone and say hello
Keep on swiping right or left on me
We're all looking for some company
Maybe love is waiting on your telephone
Maybe love is somewhere down the road
Swipe me left, swipe me right
We can laugh about the whole thing tonight
'Cause the best part never fits upon a screen
Come sit down and talk to me
Right, left
Left, right
Oh, your poor little thumb working overtime
Put down the phone
Say hello
You might like what you don't already know
