Graham Parker & The Rumour - Local Girls lyrics

rate me

Sit about my window and look outside

Wonder why the sun don't shine on me

What's wrong with you, you stupid child

Don't you think that I'm the one you're waitin' to see?

Don't talk too much cuz she falls for the suckas

Makes her feel everything is secure

Don't ever leave a footprint on her ...

(Chorus)

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

(Verse 2)

She's probably half-wit, she must be straight

Or bound to have a mother who knows nothin' but hate

Don't wanna luv, I'd rather knock her down

Standin' at the bus stop where she waits each mornin'

So isolated that she thinks that the army is the place where a man oughta be

Don't bother with them, they don't bother ...

(Chorus)

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

(Verse 3)

They got the walk, they got the talk

Right down without a flaw

At 6 o'clock, I got to stop

My dreamin' at the counter of the store

Don't bother with them

(Instrumental break)

(Verse 4)

Without a doubt I got to intercept

Must have someone ran and shouted in their ear

You look all right in the cheap print dress, but every time you swish it round you make me disappear

Yes, I'm aware of exactly what I'm doin'

Makin' everythin' a mystery

Don't bother with it, it don't bother me

(Chorus x2)

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with the local girls

Don't bother with them, they don't bother me
