Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bite your face to spite your nose
17 and a half years old
I'm worrying about my brother finding out
Where's the fun in doing what you're told?
[Verse 2]
I said, "No, no, oh, give it a rest, I could persuade you
I'm not your typical stoned 18 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
[Verse 3]
'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
And eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls, they're just girls
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
I said, "Yo, I think you better go, 'cause I can't take you
You just sit and get stoned with 30 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
[Verse 6]
'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
And eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls, they're just girls
[Verse 7]
I told her from the start
Destined to be hard
I told her from the start, I'm breaking your heart
Destined to be hard and break your heart
[Verse 8]
I said, "Yo, I think you better go, 'cause 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
[Verse 9]
'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
And eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls, they're just girls
[Verse 10]
'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
And eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls, they're just girls
'Cause they're just girls
[Verse 11]
(Just girls, just girls)
Just girls, they're just girls
