Girl
Brave Combo Lyrics

Is there anybody there? Anybody there?
Asks if anyone is willing to listen to the story that is about to be told

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
Reiterates the request for someone to listen to the story about a particular girl

All about a girl who came to stay
Introduces the central character of the story, a female who has stayed for a period of time

She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry
Describes the girl as someone who is desired to such a strong extent that it elicits a feeling of regret

Still you don't regret a single day
Despite the aforementioned feeling of regret, the artist doesn't regret any of the time spent with the girl

When I think of all the times I tried so hard to leave her
Recalls the many instances where the singer attempted to distance themselves from the girl

She would turn to me and start to cry
The girl's response to the singer's attempts to leave her caused her to cry

And she promises the earth to me and I believe her
The girl makes grand promises to the artist, who believes what she says

After all this time I don't know why.
Even though the artist has been with the girl for a while, they don't understand why they are still with her

She's the kinda girl that puts you down when friends are there
The girl is described as someone who diminishes the artist's self-esteem in front of their peers

You feel a fool
As a result of the aforementioned behavior, the singer feels foolish

When you say she's looking good she acts as if she's understood
The girl responds in a way that suggests she understands the compliment when the artist remarks that she looks good

Its cool
The singer tries to brush off the girl's negative behavior towards them, suggesting that it's not a big deal

Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure
The singer wonders if the girl was taught the idea that suffering will ultimately lead to enjoyment in life

Did she understand it when they said
The singer questions if the girl comprehended this concept when it was taught to her

That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure
The phrase refers to the idea that a person must work hard to earn their relaxation time

Will she still believe it when he's dead?
The artist asks if the girl will still believe this axiom when the person who told it to her is no longer alive

Why don't you understand?
The singer wonders why the girl doesn't comprehend all that the singer does for her

Why don't you understand woman, what I do for you?
Expands on the aforementioned question, emphasizing that the singer feels unappreciated for their actions

How I'd break my back and sweat
Describes the artist's exertions on behalf of the girl

Worthless little thing
The artist insults the girl in a moment of frustration

Why am I wasting time on you?
The artist expresses their annoyance with the situation and demeanor of the girl

Girl, girl can't ya hear me?
The singer addresses the girl directly, questioning if she is capable of listening and comprehending his words

Oh where are ya, ya little devil?
The artist calls the girl a devil, as if she is naughty or mischievous
