This is a personal song for Lennox as he talks about his focus on his family. The “girls” are his wife, and his daughter who was born in 2005.
The song grows from a synth-speckled, half-speed intro into a booming electro-pop burner with handclaps and deep bass – a towering edifice of sound.
My Girls Lyrics
[Intro]
Isn't much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
With a little girl, and by my spouse
I only want a proper house
There isn't much (Isn't much) that I feel I need (That I feel I need)
A solid soul (A solid soul) and the blood I bleed (and the blood I bleed)
With a little girl (But with a little girl), and by my spouse (And by my spouse)
I only want (I only want) a proper house (A proper house)
[Verse]
There isn't much (There isn't much) that I feel I need (That I feel I need)
A solid soul (A solid soul) and the blood I bleed (and the blood I bleed)
With a little girl (But with a little girl), and by my spouse (And by my spouse)
I only want (I only want) a proper house (A proper house)
There isn't much (There isn't much) that I feel I need (That I feel I need)
A solid soul (A solid soul) and the blood I bleed (and the blood I bleed)
With a little girl (But with a little girl), and by my spouse (And by my spouse)
I only want (I only want) a proper house (A proper house)
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave
I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
[Chorus]
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want four walls and adobe slabs
For my girls
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want four walls and adobe slabs
For my girls
[Verse]
There isn't much (There isn't much) that I feel I need (That I feel I need)
A solid soul (A solid soul) and the blood I bleed (and the blood I bleed)
With a little girl (But with a little girl), and by my spouse (And by my spouse)
I only want (I only want) a proper house (A proper house)
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
On my father's grave
[Chorus]
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want four walls and adobe slabs
For my girls
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want four walls and adobe slabs
For my girls
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want four walls and adobe slabs
For my girls
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want four walls and adobe slabs
For my girls
