Girls Lyrics

[Intro: Tricky]
Girls, boys
Girls, wish you never had boys
They grow up to be bad boys
Cry I've never had boys
You've never seen your dad, boy?
I've never seen my dad, boy
Without the Roy

And when my career stops kicking
I'm gonna stick him

[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
Rock-a-dub now, let me show you where it's at, boy
Just a pup and then you grew into a fat boy
Make a dog and you chase another cat, boy
Blow it up and let me show you where it's at, boy

[Verse 2: Tricky]
Girls wish you never had boys
They grow up to be bad boys
Cry I've never had boys
You've never seen your dad, boy?
I've never seen my dad, boy
Without the Roy
And when my career stops kicking
I'm gonna stick him
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
Stare into the sun, tell your devil beware
I am not the son of your family affair (Jamaica's shirts and blouses)
Baby breaks away, I've got my face in my hand
Genetics from a gun, trust me, I don't care (I don't need no man)

[Bridge: Tricky]
Little boys

[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
Rabble rousers, [?]
Shake it for me baby, let me step into your trousers
I-I-I-I-I-I-I allow this
Come on baby, let me take to the houses
I-I-I-I-I-I-I allow this
This is now and you better bow this
This is now and you better bow this
This is now and you better bow this

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & Tricky]
Stare into the sun, tell your devil beware (Jamaica's skirts and blouses)
I am not the son of your family affair (he didn't rob his houses)
Baby breaks away and I've got my face in my hand (fuck the biological)
Genetics from my gun, trust me, I don't care (I don't need no man)

[Bridge: Tricky]
I'm not a firestarter
'Cause I'm a little smarter
I'm not a firestarter
'Cause I'm a little smarter
Smarter than the average bear
[?]
Said I don't care
Family's there
[Verse: Anthony Kiedis]
Rock-a-dub now let me show you where it's at boy
Just a pup and then you grew into a fat boy
Make a dog and you chase another cat, boy
Blow it up and let me show you where it's at, boy

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & Tricky]
Stare into the sun tell your devil beware (Jamaica's skirts and blouses)
I am not the son of your family affair (he didn't rob his houses)
Baby breaks away and I've got my face in my hand (fuck the biological)
Genetics from a gun, trust me, I don't care

[Bridge: Tricky]
I don't need a man
I don't care
Jamaica's skirts and blouses
I don't care
He didn't rob his houses
I don't care
I'm not a firestarter
I don't care
'Cause I'm a little starter

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & Tricky]
Stare into the sun tell your devil beware ('Cause I don't care)
I am not the son of your family affair ('Cause I don't care)
Baby breaks away and I've got my face in my hand
Genetics from a gun, trust me, I don't care ('Cause I don't care)
[Outro: Tricky]
I don't care
Said I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
