Girls

“Girls” was released as the fourth single off The 1975, November 11th 2013. Matty tells us about squiring and being squired by younger girls to the bounce of Off the Wall era MJ.

[Verse 1] Bite your face to spite your nose Seventeen and a half years old Worrying about my brother finding out Where's the fun in doing what you're told? [Pre-Chorus] 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 saviour" Wrestle to the ground God help me now [Chorus] '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 [Verse 2] 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? [Pre-Chorus] I said "Yo, I think you 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 [Chorus] '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 [Bridge] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I said "Yo, I think you better go, I can't take you I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age But, girl, I'm not your saviour" "Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?" Wrestle to the ground God help me now [Chorus] '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 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
