Juliana Hatfield – There's Always Another Girl lyrics

People love it when a beautiful woman self-destructs
Like a tiger in a cage or a bug under glass
People point but don't touch
But beautiful boys get away with so much
They get away with murder
They can be wasted and dirty and cruel
'Cause they know there's always another girl

And you want her
You want her, you want her
You really want her
Oh she's a mirage
In the desert
She's like water

Boys geniuses can be ugly and fat
But they don't cut their girls any slack
Girls are advised to not think about the future or the past
It matters not where they came from
Or whether or not they endure
What matters is if they can make all heads turn
'Cause there's always another girl

You want her
You want her, you want her
You really want her
You're hot and you're thirsty
And you're in the desert
And she's like water

She smiles until her face is petrified and begins to crack
She wraps her hands in plastic bags at night
She wants to preserve what she has

And you want her
You want her, you want her
You really want her
You're hot and you're bothered and you're thirsty
And you're in the desert
And she's like water

They pluck their hairs one by one
And stand on their heads
It's no fun they cut their skin
And it hurts to know
There's always another girl
Don't you love it when a beautiful woman self-destructs
