Girl

By John T. Marck

With John's song "Girl," it is typical Lennon. In it he is talking about that special girl, the one we all are looking for. At the time he wrote this, he was opposed to Christianity, and according to Lennon, he is attacking catholic values, using thinly disguised mixtures of lust and disgust. Also, if you listen to the background words, you'll hear the word, "tit," many times over. Lennon said that he needed a filler word, and this was a good as any other. It was recorded on November 11, 1965.

Is there anybody going to listen to my story, all about the girl who came to stay?

she's the kind of girl you want so much it make you sorry still you don't regret a single day,

ah, girl, girl, girl

when I think of all the times I tried to hard to leave her she will turn to me and start to cry,

and she promises the earth to me and I believe her, after all this time I don't know why,

ah, girl, girl, girl

she's the kind of girl who puts you down when friends are there you feel a fool

(tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit)

when you say she's looking good, she acts as if it's understood

(tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit)

she's cool, ooh, oo, oo, oo,

girl, girl, girl

was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure

did she understand it when they said

that a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?

will she still believe it when he's dead,

ah, girl, girl, girl, girl

ah, girl, girl
