Girls In Our Town Lyrics

Girls in our town, they just haven't a care

You see them on Saturday
floating on air

Painting their toenails and washing their hair

Maybe tonight it'll happen



Girls in our town they leave school
at fifteen

Work at the counter or behind the machine

And spend all
their money on making a scene

They plan on going to England



Girls in our town go to parties in pairs

Sit 'round the barbecue, give
themselves aires

Then they go to the bathroom with their girlfriend who
cares

Girls in our town are so lonely



Girls in our town are
too good for the pill

But if you keep asking they probably will

Sometimes they like you or else for the thrill

And explain it away in
the morning



Girls in our town get no help from their men

No
one can let them be sixteen again

Things might get better but it's hard
to say when

If they only had someone to talk to



Girls in our
town can be saucy and bold

At seventeen, no one is better to hold

Then they start havin' kids, start gettin' old

Girls in our town...

Girls in our town
