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 alive   She's only a girl   But she's big time      She's only a girl   And I'll tell you abut 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   Works in a bank   Volunteers at the zoo   You can tell she ain't lazy   But she is very young   That's why I called you      Now that you've seen her, what do you think?   Uh-huh   Yeah   Etc...      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      God damn it
