Marina & the Diamonds - Girls [WITH LYRICS]

Look like a girl but I think like like a guy
Not ladylike to behave like a slime
Easy to be sleazy when you've got a filthy mind
You stick to your yogurts
I'll stick to my apple pie

Girls are not meant to fight dirty
Never look a day past thirty
Not gonna bend over and curtsey for you

Is there any possibility
You'll quit gossiping about me
To hide your insecurities
All you say is "blah, blah"

Girls they never befriend me
Because I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is "na na na na na" (na na na na na)
All they say is "na na na na na" (na na na na na)

Girls, oh girls, wag your tails to the beat
Of Girls Aloud, all the journos in heat
Write such good stories
Oh their mothers must be proud
Making money of your insecurity and doubt

Girls are not meant to fight dirty
Never look a day past thirty
Not gonna bend over and curtsey for you

Is there any possibility
You'll quit gossiping about me
To hide your insecurities
All you say is "blah, blah"

Girls they never befriend me
Because I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is "na na na na na" (na na na na na)
All they say is "na na na na na" (na na na na na)

I feel I've been riding in a fast car
Burning dirty gas won't get you that far
I feel I've been riding up the wrong path
But I'm gonna make sure I get the last laugh

Is there any possibility
You'll quit gossiping about me
To hide your insecurities
All you say is "blah, blah"

Girls they never befriend me
Because I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is "na na na na na" (na na na na na)
All they say is "na na na na na" (na na na na na)

Girls, wag your tails to the beat (na na na na na)

I've just realised something, she says 'girls wag you tails to the beat.' I thinks she's refering to them as dogs or bitches! Clever

[GalacticFoxSensei]

@Ironyinred Sound freaky? They sound like the teenage girls I see everyday.

[ILikeDinos22]

this song is amazing, i can relate so much to her!

[jonsdlr]

great song /lyrics , tune, singer , what more can you ask for . and she came from a towN near me :D

[Yaranthe]

yes...... exactly. I love the lyrics, this is what I am thinking about those women that look down on me but are enslaved by their own stupid rules.

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

I think the people offended by this song are missing the point. She's not belittling women for being insecure, she's belittling women for buying into misogyny and perpetuating it among their fellow females. How many times have we witnessed (and experienced) girls cutting each other down in order to prop themselves up?

[lovelaughliveit]

haha best lyrics ever

[ItsmeeelissaaXD]

this lyrics in this are actually really clever.

[SixtyStixx]

@StarryEyedFlorence Or Devils..

[MiniNymph]

@freedelcastro I agree with you. I also think the girls in the song might not only comment on their own calorie consumption if they're anything like the girls who I went to school with.

[freedelcastro]

@LexyLuvatic I concur with @ReadMyCrimsonLips comment, she's talking about girls who go on about it for attention. Girls who prefer to be submissive slaves to men and strive to conform with society's idea of beauty without actually putting in the effort to be healthy and live their own lives.
