  • Bite your face to spite your nose
    Seventeen and a half years old
    Worryin' about my brother findin' out
    Where's the fun in doin' 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 lookin' for salvation in the secular age
    But girl, I'm not your savior
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now

    'Cause they're just girls breakin' hearts
    And 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 tearin' off your blouse, now you're livin' in my house
    What happened to just messin' around?

    I said, "Yo" (hey)
    "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 fuckin' with somebody your age
    Instead of makin' changes?"
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now

    'Cause they're just girls breakin' hearts
    And 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

    Told her from the start
    Destined to be hard
    Told her from the start, I'll break your heart
    Destined to be hard, break your heart

    I said, "Yo" (hey)
    "I think I better go, I can't take you
    I know you're lookin' for salvation in the secular age
    But girl, I'm not your savior
    "Well, shouldn't you be fuckin' with somebody your age
    Instead of makin' changes?"
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now

    'Cause they're just girls (hey) breakin' hearts (girls)
    And 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 breakin' hearts
    And 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 (girls)

    (Just girls)
    (Just girls)
    (Girls)
    Just girls
    They're just girls
    (Girls)
    (Hey)
    (Girls)
    (Hey)
    (Just girls)
