This year's girl

See her picture in a thousand places
´cause she´s this year´s girl.
You think you all own little pieces
of this year´s girl.
Forget your fancy manners,
forget your English grammar,
´cause you don´t really give a damn
about this year´s girl.
Still you´re hoping that she´s well spoken
´cause she´s this year´s girl.
You want her broken with her mouth wide open
´cause she´s this year´s girl.
Never knowing it´s a real attraction,
all these promises of satisfaction,
while she´s being bored to distraction
being this year´s girl.
Time´s running out. She´s not happy with the cost.
There´d be no doubt, only she´s forgotten
much more than she´s lost.
A bright spark might corner the market
in this year´s girl.
You see yourself rolling on the carpet
with this year´s girl.
Those disco synthesizers,
those daily tranquilizers,
those body building prizes,
those bedroom alibis,
all this, but no surprises for this year´s girl.
All this, but no surprises for this year´s girl.
All this, but no surprises for this year´s girl.
´cause she´s this year´s girl.
You think you all own little pieces
of this year´s girl.
Forget your fancy manners,
forget your English grammar,
´cause you don´t really give a damn
about this year´s girl.
Still you´re hoping that she´s well spoken
´cause she´s this year´s girl.
You want her broken with her mouth wide open
´cause she´s this year´s girl.
Never knowing it´s a real attraction,
all these promises of satisfaction,
while she´s being bored to distraction
being this year´s girl.
Time´s running out. She´s not happy with the cost.
There´d be no doubt, only she´s forgotten
much more than she´s lost.
A bright spark might corner the market
in this year´s girl.
You see yourself rolling on the carpet
with this year´s girl.
Those disco synthesizers,
those daily tranquilizers,
those body building prizes,
those bedroom alibis,
all this, but no surprises for this year´s girl.
All this, but no surprises for this year´s girl.
All this, but no surprises for this year´s girl.
