Girls Night Out
Alda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have a meal, avoid a fight
Talk about the other night
When love was out of sight?
So you want to make it up to me
Show me what a man you can be?
But I'm sorry, not tonight ''cause the girls are going out
You see, the girls are going out
Chorus
It's just a girls night out
We'll have fun and scream and shout
It's time for us to have a night
Without a man or boy in sight
It's just a girls night out
We can dance and sing out loud
Not a man or boy in sight
A girls night out, oh, what a night
My daddy rang again today
He's trying hard, he's been away
So he turned up after all this years
I did not show him any tears
He wants to take me out tonight
And start again, I think he's right
I'm sorry, daddy, not tonight the girls are going out
You see, the girls are going out
Repeat chorus
It's just a girls night out
Na, n-n-nah, na, n-n-nah
It's just a girls night out
Na, n-n-nah, na, n-n-nah
It's just a girls night out
Na, n-n-nah, na, n-n-nah
It's just a girls night out
Na, n-n-nah, na, n-n-nah
Ah, are we ready to come back together? (Yeah)
Black girlfriend, white girlfriend
Will our friendship last forever? (Yeah)
Brown girlfriend, yellow girlfriend
And we'll always have a reunion (yeah)
Cool girlfriend, male girlfriend
When we're married and cooking an onion (yeah)
Your girlfriend is my girlfriend
Repeat chorus twize
It's just a girls night out
Na, n-n-nah, na, n-n-nah
It's just a girls night out
Na, n-n-nah, na, n-n-nah
It's just a girls night out
We can dance and sing out loud




It's just a girls night out
We'll have fun and scream and shout, yeah

I always used think she was called Aldi 😂 She was in her 30s when she made this. I thought she was 20 / 21 personally as she does look early 20s. Then again Icelandic people are young looking and attractive. It's very late 90s and the video is obviously based on Spiceworld the movie. That's what I like about 90s and 00s pop music, it had personality. A shame she disappeared.
