Mannish Girl

Here's Lloyd Cole's "Mannish Girl" - a non-album track on the

"Morning is Broken" CD5. Great song - should have been on

the album.

 

I used to be content to frown

But anything for money now

I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl

I used to get drunk on Spanish wine

Well, now I'm drunk most all the time

I guess I've been to grateful for too long

*chorus*

So I sit around and wait

And watch the grass grow green

And count the cars

Feeling lost alone and misunderstood

So I wait, hey hey

Yes I wait, hey hey

*verse 2 - same*

Well I had a girl in London town

She picked me up and spun me round

I guess she was a mannish kind of girl

I went away and I still don't know why

Six feet under is where my bloody heart lies

I'm just afraid I can't forget her now

*chorus -same*

So I sit around and wait

And watch the grass grow green

And count the cars

Feeling lost alone and misunderstood

So I wait, hey hey

So I wait, hey hey, hey hey

*verse 3 - same*

I used to be too big too crawl

Now I don't give a damn at all

I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl

Yeah I used to get drunk on that Spanish wine

But now I'm drunk most all the time

I guess I'm just afraid I can't forget her now

*chorus - same - keep repeating D A Em7 G over extra lines*

And so I sit around and wait

And watch the grass grow green

And count the cars

Feeling lost alone and misunderstood

So I wait, hey hey

Yeah I wait, hey hey

Yes I wait, hey hey

Yeah I wait, hey hey, hey hey
