I'm not talking about the kind of clothes she
wears
Look at that stupid girl
I'm not talking about the way she combs her
hair
Look at that stupid girl
The way she powders her nose
Her vanity shows and it shows
She's the worst thing in this world
Well look at that stupid girl
I'm not talking about the way she digs for
gold
Look at that stupid girl
Well I'm talking about the way she grabs and
holds
Look at that stupid girl
The way she talks about someone else
That she don't even know herself
She's the sickest thing in this world
Well look at that stupid girl
Well I'm sick and tired and I really have my
doubts
I've tried and tried but it never really works
out
Like a lady-in-waiting to a virgin queen
Look at that stupid girl
She bitches about things that she's never
seen
Look at that stupid girl
It doesn't matter if she dyes her hair
Or the color of the shoes she wears
She's the worst thing in this world
Well look at that stupid girl
Like a lady-in-waiting to a virgin queen
Look at that stupid girl
She bitches about things that she's never
seen
Look at that stupid girl
And she purrs like a pussycat
Then she turns around and hisses back
She's the sickest thing in this world
Look at that stupid girl
TrackTalk
(Songs like Under My Thumb and Stupid
Girl were) all a spin-off from our environment... hotels, and too many
dumb chicks. Not all dumb, not by any means, but that's how one got.

(I)t's much nastier than Under My Thumb...
Obviously, I was having a bit of trouble. I wasn't in a good relationship.
Or I was in too many bad relationships. I had so many girlfriends at that
point. None of them seemed to care they weren't pleasing me very much.
I was obviously in with the wrong group.
