Be My Girl
Be My GirlDay comes, night comes, on and on, it rolls along Darling I can hardly find the heart to keep going on Rise up, lie down, on and on, round and round, Never getting even til you leave it all on the line We've been fightin' and crying through the tragedies of somebody else's world But I can see something in your eyes And if you just try to be my girl, you might be surprised Can't you see, Can't you see, I just want you to be my girl Too many cold and old-feelin' the lonely, lonely, long nights alone Can't you see, Can't you see, I just want you to be my girl Come on and hold the only lovin' lonely lover that you'll ever know If you'll be my girl Dog days, white nights, on and on, it rolls along Morning coming on me like a warning from the other side Downtown, uptown, on and on, round and round Every evenin' I can find believin' in another lie We been fightin' and flyin' in the face of this lying, racin' world But I can see something in your eyes And if you just try to be my girl, you might be surprised Can't you see, Can't you see, I just want you to be my girl Too many cold and old-feelin' the lonely, lonely long nights alone Can't you see, Can't you see, I just want you to be my girl Come on and hold the only lovin' lonely lover that you'll ever know If you'll be my girl Darling I can hardly find the heart to keep going on Love comes, love grows, on and on, the loving flows Running like you're coming to the lovin' from a hungry time We've been fighting and trying to get by in this madman mixed up world But I can see something in your eyes And if you just try to be my girl You might be surprised Can't you see, Can't you see, I just want you to be my girl Too many cold and old-feelin' the lonely, lonely long nights alone Can't you see, Can't you see, I just want you to be my girl Come on and hold the only lovin' lonely lover that you'll ever know If you'll be my girl
Theresa's comments
Jamie gets first writing credit because he came up with the chorus, "Can't you see, can't you see, I just want you to be my girl" which is the hook.
Kevin wrote all of the other lyrics and sang the song but it wouldn't have existed without Jamie coming up with that hook.
There is no bridge and not much of an outro (about the same outro as in “And I Love Her”, see previous post).
I think that's why Kevin left off a first line on the third verse, for a bit of a change up, because otherwise it's just verse/chorus times three.
