  • Well, I've seen so many things
    I've been all over the world
    Well, I've had ups and downs
    I've been over for a while
    I thought I knew everything
    Between the bad and the good
    Guess I was wrong because
    I misunderstood about
    Girls, girls

    Well, when I was young
    My daddy sat down with me
    He said a good life is hard
    If you don't know what you need
    Well, I guess he was right
    Because the way that's it been
    There's still one thing
    I just can't understand and that's

    Girls
    They want you to tell
    Them you love them
    Girls
    They're soft and
    They're warm when you hug them
    Girls
    They'll tease and hurt you
    When you need them
    Girls
    They cry when you say
    That you'll leave them

    Tell her what I told you
    Tell me what she tells you
    Tell her what you want to

    Well, I've been so many places
    I just shouldn't be
    But then it felt so good
    That it was torture to leave
    They say you can't live without them
    But can you live with?
    I'm just one man but
    I'm shaking a fist at those

    Girls
    They want you to tell
    Them you love them
    Girls
    They're soft and
    They're warm when you hug them
    Girls
    They'll tease and hurt you
    When you need them
    Girls
    They cry when you say
    That you'll leave them

    Tell her that I love her
    Tell her I don't love her
    Tell her what you want to

    Girls
    They want you to tell
    Them you love them
    Girls
    They're soft and
    They're warm when you hug them
    Girls
    They'll tease and hurt you
    When you need them
    Girls
    They cry when you say
    That you'll leave them

    Girls
    They want you to tell
    Them you love them
    Girls
    They're soft and
    They're warm when you hug them
    Girls
    They'll tease and hurt you
    When you need them
    Girls
    They cry when you say
    That you'll leave them
