Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A monster age of seventeen
Who'll let you in to kick you out
And knows what love is all about
Well, hey now, girl
I see you walking by
And long ago you used to stop and talk
And I'm surprised
You look all grown up
A champagne glass next to a paper cup
I stopped here just to say
Hey now, girl
Her tongue is black, haven't you heard?
Her mutter those three dirty words
For all the foolish boys to hear
Like a siren bringing ships so near
Well, hey now, girl
I see you walking by and I remember
How you used to smile
How hard you used to try
It's in your eyes and I'm in a trance
A winter chill next to a spring romance
I stopped here just to say
Hey now, girl, well, hey now, girl
Well, hey now, girl
Well, hey now, girl
Who let you out into this world?
Hey now, girl
The song "Girls" by The Planets is a vivid portrayal of a girl who has grown from a innocent teenager into a woman who knows how to use her charm and sexuality to manipulate men. In the beginning of the song, the singer describes the girl as a "monster age of seventeen" who "knows what love is all about" and who can "let you in to kick you out." This suggests that the girl has had a lot of experience with relationships, and perhaps has been hurt in the process.
As the song progresses, the singer sees the girl walking by and remarks that she has "grown up" and now "just winks her eye" instead of stopping to talk. He remembers how she used to smile and try hard to connect with him, but now she seems to have a kind of power over him. He describes her as having a "tongue...black, haven't you heard?" This may refer to her manipulative nature or sexual promiscuity.
Despite all this, the singer seems drawn to the girl, describing himself as being in a "trance" when he looks into her eyes. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "Hey now, girl," as if the singer is trying to get her attention and perhaps win her back.
Overall, "Girls" is a complex and intriguing portrait of a woman who is both alluring and dangerous, and of a man who is both attracted to her and wary of her power.

I notice you passing by and I remember when we used to chat, but now all you give me is a flirtatious wink. You've changed, grown up and moved on to fancier things, but I'm still here to acknowledge you.

She has a sharp tongue and isn't afraid to use it, speaking vulgarly to get the attention of naive boys, who can't resist her charm.

Seeing you walking by brings back memories of your past self, with your infectious smile and determination. It's as if I'm entranced, feeling a cold and warm sensation at the same time, but I just had to stop and say hello again.
Well, hey now, girl
