Lyrics: Boy, You'll Want A Woman Soon

[jhameia]

Title: Boy, You'll Want A Woman Soon
Genre: Song re-write
Theme: Growing up
Comments: Neil Diamond's Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon was covered by Urge Overkill for the Pulp Fiction movie, and while I adore the Urge Overkill cover (it's got such great music), the lyrics really really really aggravate me. The relationship propoganda of "when you grow up you need a partner", the idea of a man getting all emo because his girlfriend's family doesn't approve of him (there's probably a reason, dammit), and the general tone of "please be with me" annoys me a great deal.

So, I re-wrote the lyrics. Obviously, the song is directed to all young straight males out there, and also to girls too. Please, girls and boys, grow the hell up before embarking on a relationship. And guys, if I'm dancing in front of you, don't assume I'm dancing with you and try to stop me from my groove! *mad*


Boy, you'll want a woman soon...

you like me so much, can't count all the ways
you'd die for me boy, but all you can say is
"you're just my type"
you never get tired of putting me down
and I never know when I come around
what I'm going to find
don't try to make up my mind
And I know...

Boy, you'll want a woman soon
But, don't take my hand
Boy, you'll want a woman soon
First, grow up a man

you misunderstand me most of the time
and what you've been saying "that's girl's all mine"
this girl's not me
'Cos I've finally found what I really am
And you just ain't that kinda man
not for me
Darling, you've got to see

Boy, you'll want a woman soon
But, don't take my hand
Boy, you'll want a woman soon
First, grow up a man

Boy, you'll want a woman soon
Still, don't take my hand
Boy, you'll want a woman soon
First, grow up a man
