It’s Different for Girls Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What the hell is wrong with you tonight?
I can't seem to say or do the right thing
Wanted to be sure you're feeling right
Wanted to be sure we want the same thing
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "I can't believe it
You can't possibly mean it
Don't we all want the same thing?
Don't we?
Well, who said anything about love?"
[Chorus]
"No, not love", she said
"Don't you know that it's different for girls?"
(Don't give me love)
"No, not love", she said
"Don't you know that it's different for girls?
You're all the same"
[Verse 2]
Mama always told me, "Save yourself
Take a little time and find the right girl
Then again, don't end up on the shelf"
Logical advice gets you in a whirl
[Pre-Chorus]
I know a lot of things that you don't
You wanna hear some?
She said, "Just give me something
Anything
Well, give me all you got but not love"
[Chorus]
"No, not love", she said
"Don't you know that it's different for girls?"
(Don't give me love)
"No, not love", she said
"Don't you know that it's different for girls?
You're all the same"
[Bridge]
(You're all the same)
"You're all the same"
(You're all the same)
"You're all the same"
(You're all the same)
"You're all the same"
(You're all the same)
"Who said anything about love?"
[Chorus]
"No, not love", she said
"Don't you know that it's different for girls?"
(Don't give me love)
"No, not love", she said
"Don't you know that it's different for girls?"
(Don't give me love)
"No, no, no, no, not love", she said
"Don't you know that it's different for girls?"
(Don't give me love)
"No, no, no, no, no, not love", she said
"Don't you know that it's different for girls?"
"You're all the same"
"You're all the same"
"You're all the same"
"You're all the same"
