This earlier, upbeat arrangement of “This Year’s Girl” was recorded at the sessions for This Year’s Model before the song evolved into the mid-tempo cut that appears on the album.
(1, 2, 1-2-3-4)
See her picture in a thousand places
'Cause she's this year's girl
You think you all own little pieces
Of this year's girl
Forget your fancy manners
Forget your English grammar
'Cause you don't really give a damn about this year's girl
Still, you're hoping that she's well spoken
'Cause she's this year's girl
You want her broken with her mouth wide open
'Cause she's this year's girl
Never knowing it's the real attraction
All these promises of satisfaction
While she's being borеd to distraction
Being this year's girl
Time's running out
Shе's not happy with the cost
But there'd be no doubt
Only she's forgotten much more than she's lost
A bright spark might corner the market
In this year's girl
You see yourself rolling on the carpet
With this year's girl
Those disco synthesizers
Those daily tranquilizers
Those bodybuilding prizes
Those bedroom alibis
All this, but no surprises for this year's girl
All this, but no surprises for this year's girl
All this, but no surprises for this year's girl
Yeah!
