Lyrics
Only A 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.
She's only a girl
And her voice is peculiar
And her eyes are strange
She's prone to be willful
You try to cheer her up some
But she's impervious to change
She's only a girl
She dresses in black
all of the time
Wears an orthopedic shoe
It's some sort
of uglification she's into
She's a hundred and ten
Maybe five foot five
She won't eat meat
But she'll eat you alve
She's only a girl
But she's big time
She's only a girl
And I'll tell you about her
At least all that I know
She's from South Carolina
And she came out here
A few years ago
She waits on tables
Works in a bank
Volunteers at the zoo
You can tell she ain't lazy
But she is very young
That's why I called you
Now that you've seen her,
what do you think?
Uh-huh
Yeah
Etc...
Love is blind
And deaf as well
But I love this girl
Can't you tell?
She's only a girl
And she loves me
Why would someone
Beautiful as she
Love someone old like me
Maybe it's the money
Jeez, I never thought of that
God damn it
