Girl
Zombies!! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is not the kind of girl that you tell me I should be thinking of
But more of that another day
I've found another child to share with me
All of the pleasures that you've enjoyed
But don't you think that you're forgiven for taking her away
For if it hadn't been for your deceit, I'd be holding her today
(x2):
You think you've got everything
Just because you hold her in your arms & squeeze her tight
Don't you understand that she runs away
With anyone who happens in her sight
Oh you can't see how hard she is; you think you're very wise
But she will run away from you before you realize
She's gone, she's gone
The lyrics of Zombies!!'s song "Girl" describe a complicated love triangle between three individuals. In the first verse, the singer explains that the girl who has his attention is not interested in his love. Despite this, he has found someone else to share his "pleasures" with. The singer then directs his frustration towards the person who stole the girl from him, claiming that if it were not for their deceit, he would still be with her.
The second verse further emphasizes the unstable nature of the relationship between the girl and the person who stole her away. The singer claims that he is the one who truly understands how flighty and unreliable she is, and warns the current suitor that she will run away from him as well.
The repetition of the phrase "She's gone, she's gone" at the end of the song serves as a lament for the lost love and a final acknowledgement that the girl has moved on.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship and the realization that the object of his affections may not have been worth pursuing in the first place.

The kind of girl who says to me she doesn't want my love
The girl who refuses my love, didn't capture my interest
Is not the kind of girl that you tell me I should be thinking of
I don't think that girl is worth the attention of anyone else
But more of that another day
I'll discuss it later, let's move on for now
I've found another child to share with me
I've found another girl to be with me
All of the pleasures that you've enjoyed
She gives me all the pleasures that you experienced with her
But don't you think that you're forgiven for taking her away
You're not forgiven for stealing her
For if it hadn't been for your deceit, I'd be holding her today
If you weren't dishonest, I'd still be with her now
You think you've got everything
You feel accomplished
Just because you hold her in your arms & squeeze her tight
You only believe that because you're with her now
Don't you understand that she runs away
You don't realize that she leaves frequently
With anyone who happens in her sight
She's easy to be with and will go with anyone who shows interest
Oh you can't see how hard she is; you think you're very wise
You don't see what she's really like, you think you're smart
But she will run away from you before you realize
She'll leave you without you noticing
She's gone, she's gone
She's gone, she's not coming back
