These Girls Lyrics

Cover art for These Girls lyrics by Ryan Adams

This is a song about a guy who constantly and hopelessly falls in love with the beautiful but toxic girls. The kids of girls that a musician might meet on the road, after the gig ect. The gruppie type, the ones who like bohemian lifestyle, but might be not the best idea for a long term relation. Hence late night girls. He knows they're not for him, he's just looking for a true love, and they want some fun. All these feelings of tiredness and being weakened and hypnotized are readily recognizable to any guy who was in a relationship where a girl had an emotional upper hand and thus power to toy with u. Beautifully written as most of RY stuff
