GIRL
(Lennon-McCartney)
1965


At one time John said, "This was about a dream girl".  Later however, he 
somewhat ironically stated he "was trying to say something about 
Christianity".  This was a subject that was concerning him a lot at the time 
- as the world would dramtically discover in 1966.  As an additional joke, 
the backing vocals feature Paul and George repeating the word "tit".



Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Ah girl, girl, girl



When I think of all the times I try so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her
After all this time I don't know why
Ah girl, girl, girl



She's the kind of girl who'll put you down when friends are there
You feel a fool
When you say she's looking good she acts as if it's understood
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh, girl, girl, girl



Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure
Did she understand it when they said
That man must break his back to earn his day of leasure
Will she still believe it when he's dead
Ah girl, girl, girl



Ah girl, girl, girl
