Just a Girl |
| She’s not useless — she’s just a girl |
| She’s not stupid — she’s just |
| A whirl of emotion, stranger to caution |
| Now you can straighten her out |
| Sure she’ll pout |
| But that’s what love’s about |
| She gets angry — say it’s cute when she’s upset |
| Keep her hungry |
| Never overfeed a pet or convenience |
| Try to be lenient |
| Don’t hold the leash too tight |
| Train her right |
| You’ve got her brain to fight |
| Did you really feel |
| Life was that unreal — oh no |
| Did you just assume |
| No one else needs room — how slow |
| Now is it any wonder |
| She’s looking for some thunder? |
| She’s not angry |
| It’s just a bad time of the moon |
| She’s not pretty — she’s just well made up |
| With glue and a paint box |
| Making your heart knock |
| But they’re all alike in the dark |
| Guard your heart |
| And keep it well apart |
| They always told you |
| It was better to be born a man |
| You never understood |
| It’s down to more than size |
| Shrug your shoulders |
| Say you’re never gonna understand |
| I don’t know, but you should try |
| She ain’t leaving |
| She can’t even dial a telephone |
| You’re not grieving |
| You just hate to eat alone |
| She’s expected — she’ll be rejected |
| Then she’ll come crawling home |
| Crawling home — she must come crawling home |
| Throw the dog a bone — throw the dog a bone |
| Throw the dog a bone — throw the dog a bone |
