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 |
