[English]

Imagine a fighter with a centerfold face

Comes from a long line of blue collars and lace

With a grip like reigns to a steed

And kisses for days

And imagine a winner holding pink champagne

Who still loves her daddy but changes her name

An overachiever, even she don't believe her own fame

You can't change her mind

(Even if you wanted to)

You can always try

(She'll see through you, she'll see through you)

If you think you're the only one she'll want in this world

Then you don't know nothin' 'bout girls

Imagine your best friend and your worst enemy

Begs you to stay and then wishes you'd leave

Like Marilyn Monroe, she can be who you want her to be

You can't change her mind

(Even if you wanted to)

You can always try

(She'll see through you, she'll see through you)

If you think you're the only one she'll want in this world

Then you don't know nothin' 'bout girls

Go on, go on

Give her everything and more

Love her all you want

She was never yours

You can't change her mind

You can always try

(She'll see through you, she'll see through you)

If you think you're the only one

She'll want in this world

Then you don't know nothin' about girls

If you think you're the only one

She'll want in this world

Then you don't know nothin'

Know nothin'

'Bout girls
