Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Bite your face to spite your nose Seventeen and a half years old I'm worrying about my brother finding out What’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 eighteen 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 because They're just girls breaking hearts Eyes bright, uptight, just girls But she can't be what you need if she's seventeen 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 I better go, I can't take you You just sit and get stoned with thirty 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 because They're just girls breaking hearts Eyes bright, uptight, just girls But she can't be what you need if she's seventeen 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 Break your heart I said yo, I think I 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 because They're just girls breaking hearts Eyes bright, uptight, just girls But she can't be what you need if she's seventeen 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 seventeen They're just girls They're just girls 'Cause they're just girls
