Lyrics

Mannish Girl

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

i used to be content to frown

but anything for money now

i'd rather be a mannish kind of girl

i used to get drunk on spanish wine

well now i'm drunk most all the time

i guess i've been too grateful for too long

so i sit around and wait

and watch the grass grow green

and count the cars

feeling lost, alone, misunderstood

so i wait, hey hey

yes i wait, hey hey

well i had a girl in london town

she picked me up and she spun me round

i guess she was a mannish kind of girl

i went away and i still don't know why

six feet under is where my bloody heart lies

i'm just afraid i can't forget her now

so i sit around and wait

and watch the grass grow green

and count the cars

feeling lost, alone, misunderstood

so i wait, hey hey

so i wait, hey hey

hey hey

i used to be too big to crawl

now i don't give a damn at all

i'd rather be a mannish kind of girl

yeah i used to get drunk on that spanish wine

but now i'm drunk most all the time

i guess i'm just afraid i can't forget her now

and so i'll sit around and wait

and watch the grass grow green

and count the cars

feeling lost, alone, misunderstood

so i wait, hey hey

yeah i wait, hey hey

yes i wait, hey hey

yeah i wait, hey hey

hey hey
