Stubborn Girl Lyrics

By Walter Egan

Don't mess around with this smooth operator
She's gonna get you sooner or later
Take heed of her curly blonde hair
Blue eyes and her devil-may-care stare

She's hanging on with everything she's got
She's hanging on with everything she's got
She's hanging on with everything she's got
Hangin on hangin on hangin on

She's just a stubborn girl
She's just a stubborn girl
She's such a stubborn girl

Don't try to talk don't try to persuade her
'Cause she's a girl used to getting her way here
She's got this thing like a chip on her shoulder
She'll stand her ground 'til heaven freezes over

*She's hanging on with everything she's got
She's hanging on with everything she's got
She's hanging on with everything she's got
Hangin on hangin on hangin on

She's just a stubborn girl
She's just a stubborn girl
She's such a stubborn girl
Don't mess around with this mean alligator
She's gonna bite you sooner or later
You'd best beware of her pearly white teeth
She smiles hard and they sink in so deep

Repeat *

Don't mess around with this smooth operator
She's gonna get you sooner or later
Take heed of her curly blonde hair
Blue eyes and her devil-may-care stare

She's hanging on with everything she's got
She's hanging on with everything she's got
She's hanging on with everything she's got
Hangin on hangin on hangin on

She's just a stubborn girl
She's just a stubborn girl
She's such a stubborn girl

Don't try to talk don't try to persuade her
'Cause she's a girl used to getting her way here
She's got this thing like a chip on her shoulder
She'll stand her ground 'til heaven freezes over

*She's hanging on with everything she's got
She's hanging on with everything she's got
She's hanging on with everything she's got
Hangin on hangin on hangin on

She's just a stubborn girl
She's just a stubborn girl
She's such a stubborn girl
Don't mess around with this mean alligator
She's gonna bite you sooner or later
You'd best beware of her pearly white teeth
She smiles hard and they sink in so deep

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
