Girls
Tina Turner Lyrics

Girls, we come and we go
Women are transient beings, moving through life and experiences with a sense of ephemerality.

We kiss, come and we go
Intimate moments are fleeting and temporary, like the movement of people through one's life.

Like a breeze, brushing your cheek
The touch of a woman's presence can be light, momentary, and easily forgotten, like a gentle breeze.

Like pain, like the tears on a face
The emotional impact of a woman's presence can be just as memorable as it is difficult, much like the pain and tears that come with emotional experiences.

Like spirits, we vanish at dawn
Women can disappear as easily as they arrive, flitting in and out of people's lives as if they were spirits.

My heart, suspended in time
One's emotions and feelings can be paused and preserved in a way that feels timeless and unchanging.

Like you, vanish like tears in the rain
Just as tears dissolve and disappear into the rain, so too can a woman's presence vanish and fade away.

Girls, we take our loves away
Women often remove themselves from romantic situations, taking their love and affection with them.

Like spirits living so far away
Women can sometimes feel distant and untouchable, like otherworldly spirits that are out of reach.

Girls, pretending to break down and cry
Women can hide their true emotions and display a façade, pretending to cry and break down for their own ends.

Girls, whispering wind, what are we giving away
Women can feel like they give a lot without getting anything in return, like a fleeting whisper carried away by the wind.

We used to be so happy
Women can experience happiness, though it may be fleeting and temporary.

Remember, remember, so happy
The memory of happiness can be a powerful force, evoking strong emotions even when happiness has passed.

I never knew how lonely could feel
The absence of women, or the absence of a particular woman, can leave one feeling alone, isolated, and empty.
