This is a phone conversation between old friends. Our protagonist has called to ask his friends about this young woman he’s met. He thinks he’s in love with her, but he’s trying to understand what a beautiful young woman like her could possibly see in an old fart like him. Secretly, he’s hoping hi...
She's only a girl
And her voice is peculiar
And her eyes are strange
She's prone to be willful
You try to cheer her up some
But she's impervious to change
She's only a girl
She dresses in black all of the time
Wears an orthopedic shoe
It's some sort of uglification she's into
She's a hundred and ten
Maybe five foot five
She won't eat meat
But she'll eat you alve
She's only a girl
But she's big time
She's only a girl
And I'll tell you about her
At least all that I know
She's from South Carolina
And she came out here
A few years ago
She waits on tables
And she works in a bank
Volunteers at the zoo
She sure ain't lazy
But she is very young
That's why I called you
She's only a girl
Well man, now you seen her, what do you think?
Uh-huh...
Yeah...
Thought you'd say that
No, I'd–
Go ahead...
Of course I know...
No you're wrong there, now listen
Love is blind
And deaf as well
But I love this girl
Can't you tell?
She's only a girl
And she loves me–
Why would someone
Beautiful as she
Love someone old like me
Maybe it's the money
Jeez, I never thought of that
...Believe it or not...
What a horrible thought...
God damn it
