Girls Girls Girls




Eating conversation hearts
Candy speaks my language
They forgot the grunts
The snare of derision
My crippling brand of indecision
Too much talk gives me gas


I had a habit of falling down
Trippin’ down the whole damn town
Rockin’ out BK with a big kid crown
Burger in hand, shake in my butt
But I’ll tell you what
I need to hear three square words
And it ain’t girls girls girls
In any order


Girls girls girls, they never understand
Girls girls girls, what it takes to be a man
The ones that do, ain’t interested in me
And the ones that don’t
Ain’t lookin’ either


Asks me what I think of war
I say it depends on which
Tells me they’re all bad
Her stare of dissidence
My sniffling stand of indifference
Politics betray my low IQ


I make a trick of being off
Breakin’ ice for the whole damn loft
Fallin’ in face first but landing soft
Cubes in eyes, circles ‘round my bite
But they never tell ya right
Only say what you wanna hear
And it’s just girls girls girls
But there’s a man at the door


Girls girls girls, they never understand
Girls girls girls, what it takes to be a man
The ones that do, ain’t interested in me
And the ones that don’t
Ain’t lookin’ either


Can’t catch my breath
Lining my mitt for a break
My leg snags it instead
The blank cast of plaster
Not even if I really asked her
Would she sign the thing


Daddy never taught me not to cry
But he never gave a damn to try
My mommy showed me how to fly
A marriage into the ground
But wait til’ I tell her what I found
And it ain’t girls girls girls
It’s only one


Girls girls girls, I will never understand
Girls girls girls, I will always be this man
And yet she sees, something interesting in me
She’s got eyes for this guy

Ain’t bad lookin’ either
