Once on This Island movie - Some Girls lyrics

rate me

<br>

Some girls take hours to paint every perfect nail<br>

Fragrant as flowers, all powdered and prim and pale.<br>

But you are as wild as that wind-blown tree,<br>

As dark and as deep as the midnight sea.<br>

While they're busy dressing, you lie here, warm and bold.<br>

Some girls you picture, some you hold.<br>

<br>

Some girls take courses at all the best schools in France<br>

Riding their horses and learning their modern dance.<br>

They're clever and cultured and worldly wise.<br>

But you see the world through a child's wide eyes.<br>

Their dreams are grand ones, you want what's just in reach.<br>

Some girls you learn from, some you teach.<br>

<br>

You are not small talk or shiny cars<br>

Or mirrors or French cologne.<br>

You are the river, the moon, the stars.<br>

You're no one else I've known.<br>

<br>

Some girls take pleasure in buying a fine trousseau,<br>

Counting each treasure and tying each tiny bow.<br>

They fold up their futures with perfumed hands<br>

While you face the future with no demands.<br>

Some girls expect things others think nothing of.<br>

Some girls you marry, some you love.<br>

<br>
