Girls

Bite your face to spite your nose
She's seventeen and a half years old
Not worrying about my brother finding out
What's the fun in doing what you're told?

I said, "No"
"Oh, give it a rest, 'cause I could persuade you
I'm not your typical stoned eighteen-year-old
Give me a night, I'll make you"
"I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
But girl, I'm not your saviour"
Wrestle to the ground
God help me now

'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's seventeen
They're just girls
They're just girls

A pair of frozen hands to hold
Oh, she's so southern, so she feels the cold
One moment, I was tearing off your blouse
Now you're living in my house
What happened to just messing around?

I said, "Yo, I think I better go
'Cause I can't take you"
"You just sit and get stoned with thirty-year-olds
And you think you've made it"
"Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age
Instead of making changes?"
Wrestle to the ground
God help me now

'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's seventeen
They're just girls
They're just girls

I told her from the start
Destined to be hard
I told her from the start
I'll break your heart

I said, "Yo, I think I better go (I told her from the start)
'Cause I can't take you (Destined to be hard)
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
(I told her from the start)
But girl, I'm not your saviour" (I'll break your heart)
"Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age
(I told her from the start)
Instead of making changes?" (Destined to be hard)
Wrestle to the ground (I told her from the start)
God help me now (I'll break your heart)

'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's seventeen
They're just girls
They're just girls
They're just girls
