Girls - The 1975

Bite your face to spite your nose

17 and a half years old

Worrying about my brother finding out

Where’s the fun in doing what you’re told?

I said, «No!»

«Oh give it a rest, I could persuade you»

I’m not your typical, stoned 18 year old

Give me a night I’ll make you

I know you’re looking for salvation in the secular age,

but girl I’m not your savior.

Wrestle to the ground

God help me now

Cause they’re just girls breaking hearts

Eyes bright, uptight, just girls

But she can’t be what you need if she’s 17

They’re just girls

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 you better go;

I can’t take you.»

«You just sit and get stoned with 30 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

But she can’t be what you need if she’s 17

They’re just girls

They’re just girls

I told her from the start

Destined to be hard

I told her from the start

I’ll break your heart

Destined to be hard

I’ll break your heart

I said, «Yo, I think you better go;

I can’t take you.

I know you’re looking for salvation in the secular age,

But girl I’m not your savior.

«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

But she can’t be what you need if she’s 17

They’re just girls

They’re just girls

Cause They’re just girls breaking hearts

Eyes bright, uptight, just girls

But she can’t be what you need if she’s 17

They’re just girls

They’re just girls

Cause they’re just girls…

Just girls, they’re just girls…
