Some Girls Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sara Dallin]
You tell me I can make your world go 'round
I'm a young girl, young girls never want to settle down

[Pre-Chorus: Keren Woodward]
You want me, I think you need to feel secure
(You need to feel secure)
You don't understand me, I need so much more

[Chorus: All]
Some girls like to flirt and play
Some girls always get their way
Some boys never know why
Some girls like to scream and shout
Some girls put themselves about
Some boys never know why

[Verse 2: Sara Dallin, Keren Woodward]
In my mind, you seem to be the perfect kind
How can I (how can I)
Tell you I haven't really got the time?

[Pre-Chorus: Keren Woodward]
You wish I was ready, I want you to wait
(I want you to wait)
Listen to me boy, before it gets too late
[Chorus: All]
Some girls like to flirt and play
Some girls always get their way
Some boys never know why
Some girls like to scream and shout
Some girls put themselves about
Some boys never know why

[Bridge]
Some girls
Some girls
Boys, boys, boys
Some girls scream and shout
Scream and shout
Some girls flirt and play
Some girls always get their way

[Pre-Chorus: Keren Woodward]
You want me, I think you need to feel secure
(You need to feel secure)
You don't understand me, I need so much more

[Chorus: All]
Some girls like to flirt and play
Some girls always get their way
Some boys never know why
Some girls like to scream and shout
Some girls put themselves about
Some boys never know why
Some girls like to flirt and play
Some girls always get their way
Some boys never know why
Some girls like to scream and shout
Some girls put themselves about
Some boys never know why

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
