Just a Girl Lyrics
Pains in the window
Trouble down in the heart
The resin white ceiling
Blood, dripping, flows
Out on the front line
Preachers sweep the earth
Out on their backsides
With nothing in common, with no problem
She's just a girl...
Just...just a girl, yeah...
Just one time around
She has little chance to make good
Distance of her lie
They're silent in their words
Burning fires
See the red, true beliefs
This maid in progress
Betrayin' your mother's need for a shelter
Oh, just a girl...
Just...just a girl
Just one time around
She had little chance to make good
Treats them now, she's young
But it can be taken away
Just one time around...can be taken away
We all make mistakes
Hush my baby...don't you cry...
You're my little alibi
Oh baby, please...I need some sleep
Hmm, now be taken
You with me
Just a girl (5x)
Just a kid, yeah...
Trouble down in the heart
The resin white ceiling
Blood, dripping, flows
Out on the front line
Preachers sweep the earth
Out on their backsides
With nothing in common, with no problem
Just...just a girl, yeah...
Just one time around
She has little chance to make good
Distance of her lie
They're silent in their words
See the red, true beliefs
This maid in progress
Betrayin' your mother's need for a shelter
Just...just a girl
Just one time around
She had little chance to make good
Treats them now, she's young
But it can be taken away
Just one time around...can be taken away
We all make mistakes
You're my little alibi
Oh baby, please...I need some sleep
Hmm, now be taken
You with me
Just a kid, yeah...

I actually found the studio version of this song(I was surprised there WAS a studio version). I saw the song on the back of a CD called "The Versus Sessions" and I had to buy it. It also has another Pearl Jam song I had never heard, called "Mystery". Kind of ironic, really...
Played live only once 10/22/90... the song is really called Girl (Just A) but whatever... good song.
@Stephen Flow they played it twice. Once on 10/22/90 and another on January 11, 1991 at the Town Pump in Vancouver, BC.

How come all my favorite Pearl Jam songs are the ones that no one ever talks about?
ive never heard mystery, but i have heard this one
That's because "mystery" was put on a pearl jam sessions CD, but in fact its not a pj song at all. "Just a girl" needs to be played live again, i like it.
