Some Girls

Some girls take hours to paint every perfect nail
 Fragrant as flowers
 All powdered and prim and pale
 But you are as wild as that windblown tree
 As dark and as deep as the midnight sea
 While they're busy dressing, you lie here warm and bold
 Some girls you picture, some you hold
 ♪
 Some girls take courses at all the best schools in France
 ♪
 Riding their horses and learning their modern dance
 
 They're clever and cultured and worldly wise
 But you see the world through a child's wide eyes
 While their dreams are grand ones
 You want what's just in reach
 Some girls you learn from
 Some you teach
 But you are not small talk or shiny cars
 Or mirrors or French cologne
 You are the river, the moon, the stars
 You're no one else I've known
 ♪
 Some girls take pleasure in buying a fine Trousseau
 Counting each treasure and tying each tiny bow
 They fold up their futures with perfumed hands
 While you face the future with no demands
 Some girls expect things others think nothing of
 Some girls you marry
 Some you love
