Russian Girl Lyrics

I've been frozen
Now it's so hot I can barely see

I've been cutting them down
So they can't make fun of me, yeah

Been a Russian girl
I've been a Russian girl
Been a Russian girl
I've been rushing you

Ooh, ooh ooh

Young child, sitting all alone
Hot child, she wants to take you home
Don't go

Been a Russian girl
I've been a Russian girl
Been a Russian girl
I've been rushing you

Been a Russian girl
I've been a Russian girl
Been a Russian girl
I've been rushing you

It's a Friday night, it's a Friday night

Hey, wait
Don't break
You're in no shape
It's a Friday night, it's a Friday night

Been a Russian girl
I've been a Russian girl
Been a Russian girl
I've been rushing you

Been a Russian girl
I've been a Russian girl
Been a Russian girl
I've been rushing you

Been a Russian girl
I've been a Russian girl
Been a Russian girl
I've been rushing you

It's a Friday night, it's a Friday night

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.

Cover art for Russian Girl lyrics by Liz Phair

by Lardarsch

I think that this song about a party girl, a girl that lives fast and rushes through life. Russian doesn't actually mean from Russia, in this case. The lines "Young child, sitting all alone/Hot child, she wants to take you home" are from "Hot Child in the City" by Nick Gilder, which itself is about young girls on the run.
