Paroles
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Forget your fancy manners
Forget your English grammar
'Cause you don't really give a damn
About this year's girl
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Never knowing it's a real attraction
All these promises of satisfaction
While she's being bored to distraction
Being this year's girl
[Verse 5]
Time's runnin' out
She's not happy with the cost
There'd be no doubt
Only she's forgotten much more than she's lost
[Verse 6]
A bright spark might corner the market
In this year's girl
You see yourself rolling on the carpet
With this year's girl
[Verse 7]
Those disco synthesizers
And those daily tranquilizers
Those body-building prizes
Those bedroom alibis
[Verse 8]
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, yeah
