Randy Newman — Only a Girl

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
