Freshly Squeezed Jukebox | Elle & The Pocket Belles - What's a Girl to Do... (Audio) 2024 #electroswing @FreshlySqueezedJukebox | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
The title track WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO... perfectly captures the vibe of the debut album from London's 5 piece ELLE & THE POCKET BELLES. OUT NOW here: idol-io.ffm.to/whatsagirltodo
Now available on Limited Edition Clear Red Vinyl! Get yours here: freshlysqueezedmusic.bandcamp.com/album/whats-a-girl-to-do
Combining classic 60's girl-group 'boy-trouble' lyrics, with SWING brass and a contemporary dance-floor-friendly rhythm, the track bridges the gap between artists like CARO EMERALD and genres like ELECTRO SWING with the usual heavy nod to vintage fashion. Impeccably crafted blend of modern studio production and retro vocal harmony. Watch the official MV here: youtube.com/watch?v=Yanu45p6Gys

LYRICS:
("Me? I wasn't so different from other girls
I liked a good time
Who doesn't?")
Oh I woke up late this morning with a pain in my head
I rolled on over to see you lying there in my bed
And last night you seemed so nice so it's a shame
That now you clearly struggle to recall my name
What's a girl to do with the likes of you?
In this game of love I'm destined to always lose
Oh it's Friday night and time to dance the blues away
You call me up to see if I wanna come out and play
It took hours (how long?)
It took hours to get ready for the date
And now you're three hours late
Oh what's a girl to do with the likes of you?
In this game of love I'm destined to always lose
Hope and shame, it's happened once again
I'm done with wasting time, I'm done with playing games
Round and around with nothing to be found
So ladies hold your ground
We're gonna break this player down
We deserve the best
And you don't stand the test
So run and join the rest
It's time to have some fun
I woke up late this morning with a pain in my head
(I woke up late this morning)
I rolled on over to see you lying there in my bed
(You're lying in my bed)
Last night I would have given you a ten
(A ten out of ten)
But now I see you're just like all the other men
What's a girl to do with the likes of you?
(Oh what's a girl to do?)
In this game of love I'm destined to always lose
Oh, come on
(Come on)
Oh come on
(Come on)
Oh, come on
(Come on)
Oh baby tell me what's a girl to do...
