Growing a Girl Songtext
von We Show Up on Radar

I'm so worn out, if you keep pushing me from seed to shoot -
I'll be so tired that I can't take root... no, I can't take root.

Then you put me in a darkened room, too much water, hardly any food,
I'm afraid that's where I draw the line -
That's not how you treat a girl of my kind... no, not of my kind.

Then someone kindly turned on the light.
It's like I'm in some kind of a dream -
Where all I see's reflections of me... is all I really wanted to see.

Then you put me on a rotating plate, like the ones you find in your microwave -
It helps ensure that I get enough light,
But it 'make'(s)me quite dizzy.

All of my days... of 18 hours or more - and all of my nights, I sit here getting bored.


(Instrumental)

Got this feeling in a month or so - you're really gonna let me down -
Hang me from the ceiling upside down...
And sell me to all your friends!
Well, I'm afraid that's where I draw the line -
Despite the fact it makes a real big mess!

I'm screaming "No"! -
But all you hear is "Yes."
All these words inside I can't express.

All of my days... of 18 hours or more - and all of my nights, I sit here getting bored.

Then you put me in a darkened room, too much water, hardly any food -
I'm afraid that's where I draw the line -
That's not how you treat a girl of my kind... no, not of my kind.
