Audience Feedback for Lyrics

When I came to reading over my lyrics, I had a few good ideas of what I could include in my music video which would relate to the lyrics, however I wanted to seek further advice and suggestions from others.
I did this by holding a focus group with my Media Classmates, and i also posted a question on Yahoo Answers to see what other people thought.

Feedback

'I think that if you just read the lyrics without listening to the music at all, you get the obvious impression that it is from a females point of view, and she is singing about a male who appears to be very attractive'-My own opinion


'The lyrics appear to be based very much on his physical appearance suggesting that a lot of objectifying shots should be used when coming to create a video for this track'- Classmate


'The basic storyline appears to be about a girl looking at a guy and admiring him, however it doesn't look like they are in a relationship, she just fancies him'- Friend


'To begin with, it looks like she fancies him, especially where she says about his six pack showing, however then it says about him trying to hard, so girl power style could be a way to go'- Classmate


'Near the end of the song, you can hear slight giggles where the artist appears to laugh. you could incorporate this into your story line?'- Yahoo Answers


'I think the basic point coming across is: I really do hate when guys be trying to come up to you trying to be extra smooth. It almost comes off as arrogant or cocky.'- Yahoo Answers


'She says "way too SURE for me". Like he's too sure he's going to get with her. Its about a guy who's way too cocky in his approach. In the hook she says ""You act like you've already got the number" And she's also like "Am I supposed to you, be your boo?" - cause the way he's coming at her. I love this song.- Friend


'I think this song is about a girl who has noticed a boy who is showing off to his mates, trying to be cool in front of the girls.  I think secretly she fancies him but doesn't like the act he is putting on.'- Family Member

'To me this is a girl talking about a boy.  She states that he is loving himself too much (over-cool) and as a result she does not fancy him....but really she does.'-Family Member

My Conclusion
In My opinion, i think that most of the people that have given me a response gave a very similar answer, but i think that the one that summed it up the best was the last family member. 
'To me this is a girl talking about a boy.  She states that he is loving himself too much (over-cool) and as a result she does not fancy him....but really she does.'
Now that i know what my song is about, and also all the different ways it can be interpreted, I can fully start to plan a basic storyline throughout my music video!
