Let me ask you something fellas
[Verse 1]
What's warm when the fire glows with glitter?
What's sweet when all else seems so bitter?
What's cold when your dreams start to wither?
And gives strength when you feel like a quitter?
Look to your heart when the trouble starts!
[Chorus]
It's girls this thing that I'm describing
Girls that make a man keep striving
Many shapes and sizes
Man's greatest prize
Is girls! (girls)
Girls! (girls)
[Verse 2]
If you're a man let me ask you
How many nights can you go through
With only your only pillow to cling to
And not feel the same way that I do
Search your soul, let the truth be told!
[Chorus]
It's girls that make your life worth living
Girls that make your love worth giving
When you need a lift
Man's greatest gift
Is girls! (girls)
Girls! (girls)
[Verse 3]
'Cause we've got angels right here on Earth (tell about it)
We've got the answer to our number one prayer (oh yeah)
Tell me what would our lives be worth (anything)
We've got a girl over here (over here)
We've got a girl over there (over there)
Many girls!
Plenty girls!
Everywhere!
Oh yeah, listen fellas
Search your soul, let the truth be told!
[Chorus]
It's girls that make your life worth living
Girls that make your love worth giving
When you need a lift
Man's greatest gift
Is girls! (girls)
Girls! (girls)
Girls this thing that I'm describing
Girls that make a man keep striving
