Social Kind Of Girl

(David Bowie)



She's a friendly girl
Know her awfully well
She's a social kind of girl
She's a social kind of girl

She likes Joseph though she says that Jeff makes kisses best
She expects that every man will try to do his best
Every club in every town has seen her dance the floor
All the boys in all the clubs and all the towns are making war

She's a friendly girl
Know her awfully well
She's a social kind of girl
She's a social kind of girl

She's a social girl and every boy can be a friend
Don't try to ignore her 'cos she'll get you in the end
A little black dress and made-up face
She can pass for twice her age
And all the boys in all the groups gotta play each other off the stage

She's a friendly girl
Know her awfully well
She's a social kind of girl
She's a social kind of girl

No sooner has she said goodbye, she's giving someone else the eye
She's mad about boys
Can't get enough of boys
She's a social kind of girl

She's a friendly girl
Know her awfully well
She's a social kind of girl
She's a social kind of girl

Freddie loved her yesterday, Tom's today's romance
Who can say what tomorrow brings
Maybe he'll stand a chance
Someday soon the boys will tire
And she will spend alone at night
A lonely girl just feeling blue this is what boys can do

She's a friendly girl
Know her awfully well
She's a social kind of girl
She's a social kind of girl

She's a friendly girl
Know her awfully well
She's a social kind of girl
She's a social kind of girl

She's a friendly girl
Know her awfully well
She's a social kind of girl
She's a social kind of girl
