See her picture in a thousand places 'cause she's this year's girl
You think you all own little pieces of this year's girl
Forget your fancy manners, forget your English grammar
'Cause you don't really give a damn about this year's girl
Still you're hoping that she's well spoken 'cause she's this year's girl
You want her broken with her mouth wide open 'cause she's this year's girl
Never knowing it's a real attraction, all these promises of satisfaction
While she's being bored to distraction being this year's girl
Time's running out, she's not happy with the cost
There'd be no doubt, only she's forgotten much more than she's lost
A bright spark might corner the market in this year's girl
You see yourself rolling on the carpet with this year's girl
Those disco synthesizers, those daily tranquilizers
Those body-building prizes, those bedroom alibis
All this, but no surprises for this year's girl
All this, but no surprises for this year's girl
All this, but no surprises for this year's girl
Vi su foto en mil lugares, ella es la chica de hoy
Todos se sienten dueños de la chica de hoy
Olvida tus modales
Tu lirica elegante
Porque siempre te ha dado igual la chica de hoy.
Y como esperas que se comporte la chica de hoy.
La boca abierta y destruida porque es la chica de hoy
Nunca sabes si es verdad el encanto
Tanta oferta de placer sin llanto.
Mientras la divierte el tedio por ser la chica de hoy
El tiempo ya se acabó y le cobró
Sin duda ya, ella olvido lo mucho que perdió
Tal vez tu ingenio acorrale a la chica de hoy.
Y sueñes con revolcarte con la chica de hoy.
Musica insoportable, diarios tranquilizantes
Premios de modelaje Coartadas de salon
No hay, sorpresas para la chica de hoy.
No hay, sorpresas para la chica de hoy.
No hay, sorpresas para la chica de hoy.
