Mayday Parade - Girls Lyrics






Girls, please, please,
allow my voice to calm you down.
Boys understand,
girls will never listen or learn.

I was old enough to know better,
Young enough to still decide,
That it was worth my time for something beautiful.
I finally found my voice,
and something that's worth writing down.
with a picture perfect memory of her body, her body.

Girls, please, please,
allow my voice to calm you down.
Boys understand,
girls will never listen or learn.
and I'll sing so sweet
while I speak I'll bite my tongue,
cause girls never listen.

She was young enough to fall in love
Naive enough to think she wanted out,
It wasn't worth her time for something beautiful.
You say love, she says maybe.
I say please, she says baby, "it's not you, I'm just out of my head."
Her body, her body.

Girls, please, please,
allow my voice to calm you down.
Boys understand,
girls will never listen or learn.
and I'll sing so sweet
while I speak I'll bite my tongue,
cause girls never listen.

Speak low,
Can you keep this a secret?
Tell me your lies and I will tell you of mine.
Whisper sweetly, while you touch me gently,
I'm out of my mind.
(Speak low)
We're not 21, it's time that we had some fun,
(Speak low)
We're not 21,
(cause girls never listen)
We're not 21, it's time that we had some fun,
We're not 21,
(cause girls never listen)
We're not 21, it's time that we had some fun,
We're not 21.

    I Love Mayday Parade sooooo much, but this song is really sexist which disappoints me :((

  8. J.... S....

    Anyone else feel like this has a gadiva feel?

  9. k.... ....

    I love me some mayday parade, but can you make a no lyric version hhahhahaahaha 😐

  10. l.... h....

    Well, it's true

  11. B.... ....

    Listen to that voice crack at 1:38

  12. B.... ....

    The hell is this song about?

  13. S.... M....

    COME TO BRAZIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. L.... S....

    I broke up with my boyfriend about a year ago and this song reminds me so much about myself.

  15. M.... Y....

    As soon as I started the video I knew there would be angry feminist in the comment section.

    M.... Y....

    You know that almost all of the top comments that are actually about the meaning of the song all say that the song isn't sexist right?

    M.... Y....

    +Jenn Blixt you do know that I didn't say *all* the comments said the song was sexist right?

  16. K.... ....

    I'm wondering...are guys so frustrated with girls whenever this happens?
    Boy: You're so beautiful.
    Girl: Haha yeah, right. It's just the makeup.
    Boy: No really, you're so beautiful, even without makeup.
    Girl: Shut up and stop lying.

    K.... ....

    +Sidney Villamin yes. guys do get frustrated. when we say that, we are generally being honest

  17. C.... B....

    If you like Mayday Parade please take a minute to check out our channel and listen to our music. Promise you won't be let down!

    C.... B....

    And I was not let down. You're songs are great!

    C.... B....

    Thanks man!

  18. D.... ....

    The lyrics are simple as hell and so cheesy and a bit crap BUT.... I really don't care. The meaning of this song is so..... wow. I've actually found a musician that has respect for girls.... fuck.

  19. T.... ....

    What a tune, this is in no way sexist. It's just the reality of situations between males and females.Fucking love Mayday

  20. A.... Z....

    I couldn't hear this song. What did he say?

    A.... Z....

    The joke Cx

  21. D.... T....

    This isn't sexist, it's the truth. I am a girl myself and I know how many damn times have my boyfriend tell me everything's gonna be alright. It just me that won't listen.

  22. G.... ....

    girls never listen to boys telling them they're beautiful because we can't believe it

    G.... ....

    +GillianSarah why though? why can't you girls believe it?

    G.... ....

    +Johnny “madman” Sauve We have insecurities. We girls think that guys only find girls pretty is if we look like a Victoria's Secret Model or a really pretty actress.

  23. K.... K....

    Speak low can you keep this a secret? tell me your lies and i will tell you of mine.. Just to amazing!!!!!

  24. b.... r....

    I love Mayday Parade and shit, but this song is sexist.

    b.... r....

    baylee royer *TRIGGERED*

    b.... r....

    baylee royer it's not sexist at all actually

    b.... r....

    It's not really sexist. This is actually one of my favorite on the album

  25. T.... ....

    fuck all lyric I can't see anything

    please no lyric version please

    T.... ....

    @TheLawbreakfast HAHA. i think you came for boobies

  26. S.... R....

    Why the hell does he say "we're not 21" so much? I'm 21, so am I not allowed to have fun? I mean what the hell? Mayday Parade members are like 28 anyway, so maybe he's saying "we're not young anymore, let's be creepy as hell with young girls"

    S.... R....

    @Steven Rogers It means that they're not 21 and so they haven't so much time like when they were 21, so he want to have fun for the rest of the time he has

    S.... R....

    Dude your kind of 23 now

    S.... R....

    Steven Rogers u can shut up now

  27. B.... x....

    that girl looks under aged for this type of video

  28. N.... ....

    Is it just me who wondered who the girl in the video was?!

  29. s.... ....

    Damn, the song is awesome...so glad I got to see these guys at Warped Tour

  30. s.... b....

    Can't believe it's about to be a year since the album came out !!!

    I love this one and can't wait for the next one!

  31. T.... ....

    I love this song

  32. I.... A....

    ANYONE SING ME THIS

  33. A.... V....

    girls keep making the same mistakes when it comes to boys telling us we're pretty and stuff like that. We're smart, yes, but we never listen or learn .

    This song is amazing!!! 

  34. C.... E....

    Were not 21 its time that we had some "fun" lol dirty mind!!

  35. C.... E....

    I cant listen or learn because im not beautiful

  36. C.... E....

    I am a girl and i can confirm, girls never listen or learn

    C.... E....

    Same here

    C.... E....

    neither do boys.

    C.... E....

    +Ayy we are talking about how guys tell girls that they are beautiful and girls dont listen nor learn

    C.... E....

    Neither do boys

  37. T.... M....

    If you are offended then don't listen to the song.

    T.... M....

    Don't use that logic. They can't know what the song sounds like or if they feel offended if they don't listen to it.

    T.... M....

    Yes I know that but I mean that if they are offended after listening to it they dont need to stick around and shame people who like the song

    T.... M....

    I think a lot of the people who get offended doesn't really understand what the song is about

  38. m.... ....

    Girls can both listen and Learn...

    m.... ....

    Derek's talking about how girls never listen or learn when it comes to boys telling them how beautiful they are.

    m.... ....

    and get offended

    m.... ....

    TGnxHD nah, not really, for example, I get shy, so I listen, yes, but learn? Idk. What do I need to learn?

  39. k.... ....

    People are taking this offensively because of the lyrics. "Girls will never listen or learn." It's teenagers, typically, who find this type of music appealing only for the tune or beat; while in all reality, without lyrics, most of us would not be here. You have to learn to understand the lyrics and find the deeper meaning to them. Most people cannot do this, but there are a lot of people who can. Once you see the meaning, it's hard to go back to just listening to the tune. Usually it's older/wiser people who can do this, since they have been through so much and can understand what people are trying to do when they write lyrics. But understand I said usually, as people like me, still only 13 years old, can understand lyrics. This is why you can't judge bands like BVB or BOTDF, or even SWS, etc. because some of the songs, or all, have some deep meaning to them that makes teenagers feel better about themselves. This is why we say these bands can save lives. I find it rude when people comment mean, heartless remarks about some bands, just because of the singer's voice or the tune/beat of a song. I find the lyrics the most important thing of the song.

    Sorry, ranting again. I tend to do this a lot on bands I care about.

  40. r.... h....

    Loling at people who find this offensive

  41. A.... B....

    Why the hell are people taking this offensively...

    A.... B....

    they only listen to the part when Derek says that girls cant listen or learn, which hes talking about how they don't listen when boys tell them that theyre beautiful, nothing is offensive in this song

  42. S.... B....

     this offensive.

    S.... B....

    Assuming that you are offense by "girls never listen or learn": these lyrics are referring to how boys will constantly tell their love that she is beautiful and so on, but insecure girls like us don't see ourselves that way. We never listen to their compliments and don't learn from them that we are all beautiful.

  43. B.... B....

    no girl ever got dressed in 3 minutes and 26 seconds

    B.... B....

    Best comment ever

    B.... B....

    so much editin itsa unreal

    B.... B....

    +Shamus Gerrity thanks

    B.... B....

    Showered and dressed

  44. J.... G....

    I'm 21 and I found this offensive.

    J.... G....

    Actually that was at the fault of my phone. Not all of us type on computers. In any case it would be considered a run on sentence. Also, "is" would only be capitalized at the start of a sentence, not the middle or end, since I is only capitalized if used as a noun or at the start of a sentence. I passed English with an A+ at a private school and I have written 2 books. I think I know what I am doing.

    J.... G....

    Bullshit xD. Just admit you fucked up and stop being a whiny douche.

    J.... G....

    You look 15, and if you have written any books, they're either not published, or your daddy and mommy paid for it just like your education.

    J.... G....

    You used the wrong form of "it". You're supposed to use "it's". Plus, I have said nothing racist. Maybe stop trying to play the racist card, and just face the fact that you're wrong, and a douche. xD

    J.... G....

    +Shanya Hanson I don't think it really matters whether or not you passed English with flying colors and have written books. Nevertheless, it's still possible to make a few grammatical errors. :)

  45. s.... q....

    wait if girls never listen then how come i was listning to this song !!!! HUH TELL ME 

    s.... q....

    Because you only listen to what you want to hear (;

    s.... q....

    Selective hearing is the term

    s.... q....

    its not like that hahaahhh...

  46. L.... J....

    1:38 Video ends ;)

    But seriously such a great song !

  47. K.... B....

    mayday speaking the truth since their first album this is brilliant 

  48. C.... X....

    I just can't....I've been listening to Mayday for an hour now and they're too perfect

  49. b.... ....

    Idec, Mayday Parade are one of the most perfect bands ever.

  50. N.... T....

    Seeing them tomorrow! :D well excited

  51. f.... y....

    Ok so to the girls who are saying that "oh boys don't know how hard it is to be a girl" this is the first flipbangdidly song to point out that they don't listen to guys maybe what they do with being naive and ignorant can hurt guys oh idk but yeah periods

  52. A.... A....

    then she came in cause she forgot her bag

  53. C.... ....

    If only the rest of the album was this good

  54. D.... F....

    The girl in this video is rlly beautiful. Mayday parade is probably the only band that I can put any song they ever made on nd enjoy it. Hopefully they make music for a long time

  55. E.... M....

    we're not 21 it's time that we had some fun

  56. J.... L....

    it took that girl awhile to put a bra on ..

  57. c.... h....

    I cAnt

  58. E.... A....

    I absolutely positively love this song. It is so perfect. The lyrics are so much fun and i love the line "tell me your lies and i will tell you of mine." Mayday Parade is constantly outdoing themselves and this song is no exception! 

    E.... A....

    Continue to speak the truth sister<3

    E.... A....

    amen <3

  59. A.... ....

    I love so much this video, and it makes me happy to see that the girl is natural, not skinny, and that makes her really beautiful. This just makes me love Mayday Parade even more.

  60. J.... ....

    like this song !!! 

  61. P.... A....

    Maybe, yeah but...
    maybe -_-

  62. m.... ....

    Perfect
    Perfect
    Did I mention perfect?

  63. S.... H....

    I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG

  64. N.... ....

    lmaooo sooo true

  65. b.... ....

    Reliant K wanna b`s

  66. E.... B....

    Yah killed it!

  67. N.... ....

    Yes, that was the point of my comment.

  68. s.... b....

    No shit, it takes longer.

  69. S.... W....

    Sweet icon

  70. X.... x....

    Im sorry, the lyrics are just... Idk.... Like um sorry girls are kind of ignorant and stuff sometimes but honestly guys dont understand how fucking hard it is to be a girl. Mostly periods.

  71. T.... W....

    if you like this video, you should definitely check out The Summer Set's new lyric video for Jukebox :)

  72. K.... F....

    Really....? Of this whole song, you focus in on that?

  73. m.... ....

    because they're not 21...

  74. r.... b....

    At first, i thought my headphone doesn't work on the other side

  75. a.... h....

    Leave it to the people of YouTube to argue about a girl in a music video. It's a song guys. Come on ._.

  76. K.... ....

    1st listen: this sounds generic and lazy by mayday standards
    38475 listen: can't stop listening

  77. J.... ....

    Also, everyone on here is talking about how she's not a model, but still beautiful, blah blah blah. Yet, I bet she's still a shallow chick and wants a guy model and blah. Our society is too based on Female bodies and body shaming, yet what about guys? Guys go through the same kinda thing in society. QUIT BODY SHAMING YOU ASSHOLES!

  78. J.... ....

    I can't believe everyone is talking about the girl in the video. Like seriously? Obviously none of you listen. Lmao. How ironic. I love the line, "Boys understand, Girl never listen or learn." Because it's true!

  79. m.... ....

    Awh she's gorgeous. c:

  80. A.... C....

    I really love the line "Girls, please, please,allow my voice to calm you down," because it's like for those girls (and boys) who have harmed themselves turn to music for help, or that one band/singer saved your life. Like just listening to them, makes everything better. I hoped this made sense.

  81. A.... A....

    THANK YOU! I had the same problem with her comment, and couldn't figure out how to say that. I completely agree.

  82. P.... F....

    I love how she is so real, the girl next door, not the girl from the house of america's next top model.

  83. J.... ....

    Why do you think they made an album

  84. o.... ....

    she's beautiful

  85. D.... B....

    Who dis girl

  86. c.... ....

    Why is she like 15......?

  87. V.... S....

    Uhm, lol that's an over exaggeration. I agree this girl is gorgeous but calling most models "anorexicly skinny" is definitely over the line. Just because girls happen to be skinny doesn't mean they're anorexic. People like you are sick.

  88. E.... N....

    @KatieBoardy Oh now I get it.
    But I wonder. Maybe he has just a bad experience with those girls. Right?

  89. K.... B....

    I think it's a generalisation. Yes, there are some girls who know they're beautiful and are happy being themselves, but this is more about the girls who, no matter how many times boys tell them they're gorgeous, will never believe it.

  90. T.... ....

    yah it took them the whole day..

  91. E.... N....

    Girls will never listen or learn??? I mean this song sounds good, but the lyrics doesn't make any sense... Not every girl is that way...

  92. o.... n....

    :) mayday parade never fail to make good music! <3

  93. B.... ....

    I usually understand what mayday parades songs mean, but this one just... Makes no sense. I know the meaning is in the song, literally, but I just don't understand it.

  94. q.... s....

    I Reyes to go but this at Walmart today but its not in

  95. N.... ....

    This video is inaccurate. It does not take a female 3:27 to get ready.

  96. m.... ....

    fun fact all girls are real and body shaming is not good regardless of how someone's body is shaped this has been a psa thank u for reading
