Bite your face to spite your nose
17 and a half years old
(She's younger than him.)
Worrying about my brother finding out
What's the fun in doing what you're told?
(Kinda self explanatory.)
I said, "No!"
(He doesn't want to at first.)
"Oh give it a rest, I could persuade you!
I'm not your typical, stoned 18 year old;
Give me a night I'll make you."
(She's trying to convince him to.)
"I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age, but girl I'm not your savior."
Wrestle to the ground
(He is worried about doing the deed with her and says that she is "looking for salvation in the secular age" but he's not her "savior". So she thinks that sex is love and he tells her otherwise.)
God help me now because
(He ended up loving her.)
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,
(She's from the south, where it's not as cold, but they're in the north, and he's used to the cold, whereas she's not, so he holds her hands. They're being all cute and couple-y.)
One moment I was tearing off your blouse,
Now you're living in my house.
What happened to just messing around?
(At first they were just sleeping around with each other but now they're living with each other.)
I said, "Yo, I think you better go; I can't take you.
You just sit and get stoned with 30 year olds and then you think you've made it."
(She thinks she's hot stuff and hangs out with older people and gets high and he's aggravated with it because that's what he used to do before he fell in love with her.)
"Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
(They're fighting. Her reply; in other words, "Then you shouldn't have slept with me in the first place. Maybe we should just end it.")
Wrestle to the ground
God help me now because
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'll break your heart
Destined to be hard
I'll break your heart
(He told her that if they started sleeping with each other it would be hard and they would only end up hurt in the end.)
I said, "Yo, I think you 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 because
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
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...
Just girls, they're just girls...
