Girls

The 1975 · The 1975 [2013]

Bite your face to spite your nose

Seventeen and a half years old

Worrying about my brother finding out

Where's the fun in doing what you're told?



I said "No!

Oh, give it a rest

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 savior"

Wrestle to the ground

God help me now, becuase



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 livin' in my house

What happened to just messing 'round?



I said, "Yo, I think I better go

I can't take you

You just sit and get stoned with 30 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, because



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

Destined to be hard

Break your heart



I said "Yo, I think I better go

I can't take you

I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age, but girl

I'm not your savior

Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age

Instead of making changes?"

Wrestle to the ground

God help me now, because



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



'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



'Cause they're just girls...
