God Help The Girl

[00:05.04] There is no way I'm looking for a boyfriend

[00:10.79] There is no way I'm looking for a scene

[00:17.52] I need to save some dough

[00:22.32] I'm a working girl, you know

[00:25.79] I'll fend attention off, I keep to myself

[00:31.32] I love my room, I'm getting used to sleeping

[00:36.30] Some nights I really like to lie awake

[00:44.06] I hear the midnight birds

[00:50.04] The message in their words

[00:53.03] The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch

[00:58.04] Their promise never meant so much to me

[01:00.28] You have been warned, I'm born to be contrary

[01:04.80] Backward at school, I wrote from right to left

[01:11.04] Teacher never cared for me

[01:15.30] Preacher said a prayer for me

[01:18.29] God help the girl

[01:21.29] She needs all the help she can get

[01:25.81] I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call

[01:30.79] I'll eat the chocolate hidden in the fridge

[01:36.30] I'll play his messages

[01:40.80] Analyze his intonation

[01:45.33] Please stop me there, I'm even boring myself

[01:50.54] I think of him when I'm doing the dishes

[01:57.79] I think of him while looking in the sink

[02:03.31] This ain't no play on words

[02:08.53] My love for him's absurd

[02:11.78] If he gave me a sign, I'd think about it for a week

[02:18.04] I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down

[02:20.29] You have been warned, I'm born to be contrary

[02:24.53] Backward at school, I wrote from right to left

[02:29.54] Teacher never cared for me

[02:35.27] Preacher said a prayer for me

[02:38.29] God help the girl

[02:41.30] She needs all the help she can get
