The 1975 - Girls lyrics

rate me

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! Well, i'll give it a rest, if 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 this secular age but, girl, I'm not your savior

Wrestled to the ground, God help me now

Because theyr'e just girls, breaking hearts

Eyes bright, uptight, just girls

She can't be what you need if she's seventeen

They're just girls, mmm, 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, 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

She can't be what you need if she's seventeen

They're just girls, mmm, they're just girls

Told her from the start, destined to be hard

Told her from the start, I'm breaking 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 this secular age but, girl, I'm not your savior

Shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age

Instead of making changes?" Wrestle to the ground

God help me now, 'cause it's just girls

Breaking hearts, eyes bright, uptight, just girls

She can't be what you need if she's seventeen

They're just girls, mmm, they're just girls
