Is there anybody going to listen to my story
all about the girl that came to stay.
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry
still you don't regret a single day.
Ah girl, girl.
When I think of all the times I tried so hard to leave her
she will turn to me and start to cry,
and she promises the earth to me and I believe her
after all this time I don't know why.
Ah girl, girl.
She's the kind of girl who puts you down when friends are there,
you feel a fool
when you say she's looking good
she acts as if it's understood
she's cool-oh.
Ah girl, girl.
Was she told me 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?
Ah girl, ah girl


Recorded 11 November, 1965 and included on the "Rubber Soul" album. John said he had Paul and George sing the word "tit" over and over on the backing.
