These Girls

Ryan Adams · Easy Tiger [2007]

Well, girl sometimes I feel just like a boy

Put here on this earth for you to toy around with

Like matchbox cars you buy and burn in your backyard

Like monsters underneath your bed you ain't afraid of yet



But you let me in

And I feel alright

Yeah, I feel alright



The late night girls are anxious

And they're coming out to play

And I've been stranded on their doorstep for every night and day

I only want them more, it's so sad but when they smile

God, I've been had

I get hypnotized and I wanna go to bed



I used to pick up shells cast off the reef

One Christmas I got a funeral and they handed me the receipt

How ever many lies i tell without my tongue

Get twisted into memories 'til I believe them some



And I toy with you

And you toy with me

Can you stop this please



God bless all the late night girls

And they're coming out to play

And I've been stranded on their doorstep for every night and day

I only want them more, how sad but when they smile

How could anybody go bad?

It makes me tired and I want to go to bed



These girls are better off in my head

These girls are better off in my head

These girls are better off in my head

These girls...
