Lyrics Girl in Need - Graham Parker

Girl in Need

When you say you’re weary
You sound like a girl in need
When you say you’re teary eyed
Just let it water a seed
When you say you’re past your prime
Reinvent yourself one more time
Hit the road with a bag of nails
Build a house that withstands the gales and storms
I have lived in darkness
But it wasn’t that bad at all
Coz when the light came shining through
Oh what a wake-up call
I was floating in the amniotic
All too easy so narcotic
I once knew a girl who was quite erotic
But she was vacant like an empty pocket
Punch yourself with both your fists
You’ll find out that it’s nothing like a kiss
It’s more like something to cross off your list
But a girl in need has a list so long
No one can find the time to read it
