The Girls Are Out to Get Ya
Dollar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm available
'Cause I look the part
I know I'm gonna steal a heart or two
Dressed in the latest style
The girls will say exactly what I want 'em to
Music's playin' far too load
It's so crowded that I need a drink to put me right
The girls all start to stare
With their dresses far too tight
And their peroxide hair
I wish I'd stayed at home and watched a TV show
Or played some rock and roll
They're starting to surround me and are moving in
Lights are growin' dim girls are movin' in tonight
[Chorus:]
You know the girls are out to get ya
You try but they won't let ya
They really do upset ya
The girls are out to
Feeling in a kind of daze
The room's a smoky haze
When I saw the girl I danced with
I was quite amazed
The whole thing's quite obscene
Her face is white
With one eye blue the other green
I wish I'd stayed at home and watched a TV show
Or played some rock and roll
They're starting to surround me and are moving in
Baby life ain't what it seems it's full of cosmic dreams
[Chorus:]
I wish I'd stayed at home and watched a TV show
Or played some rock and roll
They're starting to surround me and are moving in
Girls will give it all we can and you'll emerge a man
You know the girls are out to get ya
You try but they won't let ya
They really do upset you
The song "The Girls Are Out to Get Ya" by Dollar is a lively and upbeat account of a wild night on the town. The singer describes his experience at a party where he is surrounded by beautiful women who are out to seduce him. The singer recognizes that he is dressed to impress, charming and will likely "steal a heart or two" with his latest style. However, as the party progresses, the singer finds himself feeling uncomfortable as the music becomes too loud, the lights too bright, and the drinks too many.
The singer sees that the girls are staring, and their dresses are too tight and revealing, their hair too bleached. Accompanied by the smoky haze in the room, the experience is almost surreal for the singer. Yet, when he dances with a girl who has two different colored eyes, blue and green, he is both surprised and disgusted.
Throughout the song, the chorus serves as a reminder that the girls are out to get him, and despite his efforts, they won't easily let him go. The song takes a sarcastic approach to the situation, with the singer jokingly wishing he had stayed at home and watched TV and played rock and roll instead of going out.
The song portrays a typical night out, where the singer is surrounded by beautiful women and is trying to avoid getting caught up in everything that's happening around him. It's a fun tune that captures the essence of a wild night out that ends up being more intense than planned.
