Lyrics Randy Newman – Only A Girl
Text:
She’s only a girl
And her voice is peculiar
And her eyes are strange
She’s prone to be willful
But she’s impervious to change
She’s dresses in black all of the time
Wears an orthopedic shoe
It’s some sort of uglification thing she’s into
She’s a hundred and ten
Maybe five foot five
She don’t eat meat
But she’ll eat you alive
She’s only a girl
But she’s big time
She’s only a girl
And I’ll tell you about her
At least all that I know
She’s from South Carolina
And she came out here
A few years ago
She waits on tables
Works in a bank
Volunteers at the zoo
She sure ain’t lazy
But she’s very young
That’s why I called you
Now that you’ve seen her, what do you think?
Uh-huh
Yeah
Love is blind
And deaf as well
But I love this girl
Can’t you tell?
She’s only a girl
And she loves me
Why would someone
Beautiful as she
Love someone old like me
Maybe it’s the money
Jeez, I never thought of that
God damn it
