Album RUBBER SOUL
Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay
She`s a kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry
Still you don`t regret a single day
Oh girl girl girl
When I think of all these times I`ve tried so hard to leave he She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promices the earth to me and I believe her
After all these times I don`t know why
Oh girl girl girl
She`s a kind of girl who puts you down
When friends you`re where feeling fool
When you say she`s looking good
She acts as if it`s understood
She`s cool cool cool cool
Girl girl girl
Was she told when she was young that fame would lead to pleasu Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure
Will she still believe it when he`s dead
Oh girl girl girl...

Girl
A girl is a female child, as opposed to a boy, a male child. The age at which a female person transitions from girl to woman varies in different societies; typically the transition from adolescence to maturity is taken to occur in the late teens. The English word (first documented in 1290) originally designated a child of either gender. To designate between the two genders, a female child was called a gay girl, while a male child was called a knave girl. During the 14th century its sense was narrowed to specifically female children. Subsequently, it was extended to refer also to mature but unmarried young women since the 1530s. Usage in the sense of (romantic) "sweetheart" arose in the 17th century.
