Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon
Urge Overkill (HB®) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
I love you so much, can't count all the ways
I've died for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of putting me down
And I'll never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind

Don't you know, girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're saying girl it cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well, I've finally found what I'm a-looking for
But if they get their chance they'll end it for sure
Surely would
Baby, I've done all I could

Now it's up to you girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon but soon, you'll need a man





Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand

“Don’t you like that”

“What”

“Comfortable silence”

“that’s when you know you have found someone special when you can just shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably share silence”

One drink and that’s it. Don’t be rude. Drink your drink, but do it quickly. Say ‘goodnight’ and go home.
You see, this is a moral test of one’s self whether or not you can maintain loyalty because being loyal is very important.
So, you’re gonna go out there and you’re gonna say, ‘Goodnight, I've had a very lovely evening,’ walk out the door, get in the car, go home, jerk off and that’s all you're gonna do.

Dude you will never find a shortage of people out there looking for a reason to be offended and show their moral outrage, it makes them feel good about themselves even if they are a worthless POS. It allows people who do nothing to still feel good about themselves based on their own "feelings" and "views" while in reality their actions cause misery and ruin. It's a symptom of the mental illness that is liberalism and it destroys any thoughtful discourse or deep humor.
