Girl Lyrics

[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
Girl
Girl, girl


[Verse 3: John Lennon]
Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?


[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
Ah, girl
Girl, girl


[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
Ah, girl
Girl, girl

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 [?]
