Mannish Girl Lyrics - Lloyd Cole

I used to be content to frown 

But anything for money now 

I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl 

I used to get drunk on spanish wine 

Well now I'm drunk most all the time 

I guess I've been too grateful for too long 

So I sit around and wait 

And watch the grass grow green 

And count the cars 

Feeling lost, alone, misunderstood 

So I wait, hey hey 

Yes I wait, hey hey 

Well I had a girl in London town 

She picked me up and she spun me round 

I guess she was a mannish kind of girl 

I went away and I still don't know why 

Six feet under is where my bloody heart lies 

I'm just afraid I can't forget her now 

So I sit around and wait 

And watch the grass grow green 

And count the cars 

Feeling lost, alone, misunderstood 

So I wait, hey hey 

So I wait, hey hey 

Hey hey 

I used to be too big to crawl 

Now I don't give a damn at all 

I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl 

Yeah I used to get drunk on that Spanish wine 

But now I'm drunk most all the time 

I guess I'm just afraid I can't forget her now 

And so I'll sit around and wait 

And watch the grass grow green 

And count the cars 

Feeling lost, alone, misunderstood 

So I wait, hey hey 

Yeah I wait, hey hey 

Yes I wait, hey hey 

Yeah I wait, hey hey 

Hey hey
