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

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

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 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

Chorus

'Cause they're just girls breaking 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

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 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 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 (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 breaking 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)
