Lyrics Jarvis Cocker – Girls Like It Too

What the hell?
Perched on a five-bar gate
Wondering just what you could tell your mates
Oh, you are no Sir Galahad

The party’s nearly over
The morning sun spreads out its fingers
But you, you had that gate right off its hinges
If you didn’t know
Listen up, ’cause I’ve got something to tell you, oh

You don’t know how to handle a girl
Oh, it’s strange but true what I’m telling you
What I’m telling you is that girls like it too
Take it slow; she could give you the world
Oh, it’s strange but true what I’m telling you
And what I’m telling you is that girls like it too

Her name is Karen
Now that’s the only word that you want to say
So say it loud and say it to her face
But don’t spread it around, no no
Pull these last strands of darkness all around you, oh

You don’t know how to handle a girl
Oh, it’s strange but true what I’m telling you
And what I’m telling you is that girls like it too
Take it slow; she could give you the world
Oh, it’s strange but true what I’m telling you
And what I’m telling you is that girls like it too

Oh, she wants to hold you
Yeah, but you’re in such a state
She saw you sitting on that five-bar gate
And now it’s time to step down and hold her

Don’t you know how to handle a girl
Oh, it’s strange but true what I’m telling you
And what I’m telling you is that girls like it too
Take it slow; she could give you the world
Oh, it’s strange but true what I’ve been telling you
And what I’m telling you is that girls like it too

Don’t you know, oh how to handle a girl
Yeah, it’s strange but true what I’m telling you
And what I’m telling you is that girls like it too
Don’t you know
