Bite your face to spite your nose
00:33
17 and a half years old
00:37
Worrying about my brother finding out
00:42
Where's the fun in doing what you're told?
00:46
I said, "No!"
00:50
"Oh, give it a rest, I could persuade you
00:52
I'm not your typical, stoned 18-year-old
00:55
Give me a night, I'll make you"
00:57
"I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
00:59
But, girl, I'm not your saviour"
01:02
Wrestle to the ground
01:04
God help me now
01:06
'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
01:07
And eyes bright, uptight, just girls
01:11
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
01:17
They're just girls
01:21
They're just girls
01:23
A pair of frozen hands to hold
01:27
Oh, she's so southern, so she feels the cold
01:30
One moment I was tearing off your blouse
01:34
Now you're living in my house
01:37
What happened to just messing around?
01:39
I said, "Yo, I think you better go, I can't take you"
01:42
"You just sit and get stoned with 30-year-olds
01:48
And you think you've made it"
01:51
"Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age
01:53
Instead of making changes?"
01:55
Wrestle to the ground
01:57
God help me now
01:59
'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
02:01
And eyes bright, uptight, just girls
02:05
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
02:08
They're just girls
02:14
They're just girls
02:16
I told her from the start
02:20
Destined to be hard
02:24
I told her from the start
02:29
I'll break your heart
02:31
Destined to be hard
02:32
Break your heart

Bite your face to spite your nose17 and a half years old
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 18-year-old
Give me a night, I'll make you"
"I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age

'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
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
