Girl Thing
Lion In The Living Room
It's a girl thing
You wouldn't understand
She doesn't want to be crying
'Cause love let her down again
It's a girl thing
She's on some other planet
Of whispers and phone calls
She knows it's trivial
But she can't stop
She wants to be crying for the homeless or the sick
But she can't stop crying because love didn't stick
Let her go let her go 'til she
Lets it go
Only the real wash can wash her clean
She is running now
She's laughing again
She does a cartwheel in the parking lot
Just like a ten year old kid
This is us, she says
We're all valleys and peaks
No hard straight lines for us, we're all curves
Swaying strong then weak
And I pretend there's no downward turn
But that's a girl thing
Got to learn to love those curves
Love those curves
coda
She leans on a truck now
And a snake slithers by
She don't care, she's looking up, looking up
At a voluptuous blue sky
Loving those curves
