Bite your face to spite your nose
17 and a half years old
I'm worrying about my brother finding out
Where's the fun in doing what you're told?

I said: No!
Oh, give it a rest, I could persuade you
I'm not your typical, stoned eighteen year old
Give me a night, I'll make you
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
But girl, I'm not your savior
Wrestle to the ground
God, help me now

'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls, they're just girls

A pair of frozen hands to hold
Oh, she's so southern, so she feels the cold
One moment I was tearing off your blouse
Now you're living in my house
What happened to just messing around?

I said: Yo, I think I better go, I can't take you
You just sit and get stoned with 30 year olds
And you think you've made it
Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody
Your age instead of making changes?
Wrestle to the ground
God, help me now

'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls, they're just girls

I told her from the start
Destined to be hard
I told her from the start
I’m breaking your heart
Destined to be hard
Break your heart

I said: Yo, I think I better go, I can't take you
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
But girl, I'm not your savior
Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody
Your age instead of making changes?
Wrestle to the ground
God, help me now

'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls, they're just girls

'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
And eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls, they're just girls
'Cause they're just girls
(Just girls, just girls)
Just girls, they're just girls
