I know a girl that everyone loves,
She’s popular because she loves love
She’s always welcome round my neighbourhood
And every guy I know has been with her if they could
Oh she’s so confused
Doesn’t know which boy is right but
Lets them take her home for the night cause
She’d rather fuck than fight
Yes I know a girl that everyone loves,
She’s popular because she loves love
She’s always drinking way too much
Stumbling down staircases says it’s a phase but
It’s been going on since we were kids
Escalated from Smirnoff to spliffs now
Packs her crack in a pipe for her kicks
She tries to walk the line but she’s high off her tits
I know a girl that everyone loves,
She’s popular because she loves love
She lost her childhood grew up too fast,
Now not so fantastic considering plastic, yeah
Everything in her life’s so mundane
All the boys their clumsy hands feel the same
Can’t even remember half of their names
Or the last time that she came
Yes I know a girl that everyone loves,
She’s popular because she loves love
She’s always confessing her secrets to me,
I’m just a friend but it aint all that easy when
You’ve got secrets that you’re trying to hide
but there ain’t nobody left to confide in that
You’re completely obsessed smitten and in love
With a girl that everybody’s loved.
