Girl
The Lefties Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girls hit back
When you least expect
Where you most regret it
Girls they don't understand
Why I love my friends
More than them

I don't mean to say it but somebody

Needs to put an end to them
I don't mean to say it but somebody
Needs to put an end to girls

Girls decorate the house
With flowers and cows
And pictures of the family
Girls think their misunderstood
But I know goddamned well
All the things they do
They do to nerve me

They'll never understand
Wish I didn't need them
