Only a Girl

She's only a girl With a voice peculiar And eyes a strange hue She's born to wilful Tried to help her some But she's impervious to change She dresses in black tar All of the time Wears an old green shoe Some sore of uglification thing That she's into She's a hundred and ten Maybe five foot five She don't eat meat But she'll eat you alive She's only a girl But she's big time She's only a girl That I'll tell you about At least all that I know She's from South Carolina She came out here a few years ago She waits on tables And she works in a bank Volunteers at the zoo She sure ain't lazy She's very young That's why I called you She's only a girl Well now men you seen her What'd you think Awh haw Yeah I thought you'd say that No Go ahead Of course I know No you're wrong there Now listen Love is blind And just as well Now look mister Can't you tell She's only a girl And she loves me Why would someone As beautiful as she Love someone Old like me Maybe it's the money Jes I never thought of that Believe it or not What a horrible thought God damn --- Only a Girl - Randy Newman
