Stephen Flaherty - Some Girls lyrics

DANIEL: Some girls Take hours To paint every perfect nail Fragrant as flowers All powdered And prim and pale But you are as wild As that wind-blown tree As dark and as deep as the Midnight sea While they're busy dressing You lie here warm and bold Some girls you picture Some you hold Some girls Take courses At all the best schools in France Rising their horses And learning their modern dance They're clever and cultured And worldly wise But you see the world Through a child's wide eyes While they're dreams are grand ones You want what's just in reach Some girls you learn from Some you teach You are not small talk Or shiny cars Or mirrors Or French cologne You are the river The moon The stars You're no one else I've ever known Some girls Take pleasure In buying a fine trousseau Counting each treasure And tying each tiny bow They hold their futures With perfumed hands While you face the future With no demands Some girls expect things Others think nothing of Some girls you marry Some you love
