Girls (Beastie Boys song)

"Girls" is a song by American hip hop group the Beastie Boys, released in 1987 as well as the music video as the seventh and final single from their debut album Licensed to Ill. Like "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)", this song was never performed live and it is one of the few songs on the album that are not in the vein of their standard rap songs.

Song structure and lyrics

The song is the shortest on the album, lasting just over 2 minutes long. The song's instrumental is relatively simple, consisting of a drum beat being played over a vibraphone loop, with occasional pauses. The song contains many similarities to the song "Shout" by The Isley Brothers.

Lyrically, the song talks about the narrator (Ad-Rock)'s desire for women. He recalls a experience from two years before with a woman who had an interest in the narrator's band mate MCA. MCA did not share her feelings and permitted the narrator to pursue her romantically. Ad-Rock takes the woman for a walk near a body of water and asks for her hand. The woman rejects his proposal. She moves to a far away location but in the present day the narrator sees her back in town showing interest in his other band mate, Mike D.

    Southern Girls

    by: Life On Repeat

    When I opened that letter I realized
    this was nothing I wanted to see.
    Now I'm stuck with my pen and some paper,
    and a headache with nothing to say.
    That day I left, you came and said to me,
    you were the only thing I wanted to believe.
    Now that I'm gone I wish that I could leave,
    I guess these things just aren't really the way they seem.
    What goes around goes around.
    I never thought I'd be this way.
    You picked me up when I was down.
    I think I'll be okay.
    And I remember the day that I met you.
    Yeah I remember those things that you said.
    You told me that you would love me forever,
    and it's girls like you that make me wish I never left there.
    I've been on the road so constantly,
    I guess I may be forgetting you way too easy.
    But that's alright, I hope you're feeling free,
    you got what you deserve, now you can finally breathe.
    When I come around there,
    don't even tell me that you're sorry.
    What goes around goes around.
    I never thought I'd be this way.
    You picked me up when I was down.
    I think I'll be okay.
    And I remember the day that I met you.
    Yeah I remember those things that you said.
    You told me that you would love me forever,
    and it's girls like you that make me wish I never left there.
    And when I see you again I'll be honest.
    I'll be damned if you asked me to stay.
    And forgetting might make you forgive me.
    But I know that it won't be the same.
    What goes around goes around.
    I never thought I'd be this way.
    You picked me up when I was down.
    I think I'll be okay.
    And I remember the day that I met you.
    Yeah I remember those things that you said.
    You told me that you would love me forever,
    and it's girls like you that make me wish I never left there.
    Yeah it's girls like you that make me wish I never left there.
