It's Different For Girls Lyrics

Cover art for It's Different For Girls lyrics by Joe Jackson

I'd agree that the girl just want to sleep with him while the guy is saying he loves her. But I think the thing that's different for girls is that they don't use 'I love you' to get guys into bed, they say it when they really mean it. Hence: 'Well who said anything about love? No, not love, she said, Don't you know that it's different for girls?' - just because she want to sleep with him doesn't mean it's love, and she doesn't want him to cheapen it by saying it for that reason.

@kittykat55 if you cross-reference this with REO Speedwagon's Can't Fight This Feeling, guys generally build on top of previous emotional bases - they "level up".

Friend escalating to "girlfriend" - then on to "marry my best friend".

Also CF with Billy Joel's Just The Way You Are.
