Lyrics Randy Newman

Randy Newman

Only a Girl

She's only a girl

With a voice peculiar

And eyes a strange hue

She's born to wilful

Tried to help her some

But she's impervious to change

She dresses in black tar

All of the time

Wears an old green shoe

Some sore of uglification thing

That 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

That I'll tell you about

At least all that I know

She's from South Carolina

She came out here a few years ago

She waits on tables

And she works in a bank

Volunteers at the zoo

She sure ain't lazy

She's very young

That's why I called you

She's only a girl

Well now men you seen her

What'd you think

Awh haw

Yeah

I thought you'd say that

No

Go ahead

Of course I know

No you're wrong there

Now listen

Love is blind

And just as well

Now look mister

Can't you tell

She's only a girl

And she loves me

Why would someone

As beautiful as she

Love someone

Old like me

Maybe it's the money

Jes I never thought of that

Believe it or not

What a horrible thought

God damn
