There would be someone there
who would catch my attention
I wasn't out looking
for love or affection
So I paid my 3 and the girls got in free
Shined the beer for tequila
and we headed into the party

And then, in the backyard,
some terrible ska band
Someone in the background
was doing a keg stand
This place is so lame,
all these girls look the same
All these guys have no game,
I wish I would have stayed

In my bed, back at home,
watching TV alone
Where I'd put on some porn
or have sex on the phone
Far from people I hate,
down from anywhere state
Trying to intoxicate girls
to give them head after the party

And then, I saw her standing there
With green eyes and long blond hair
She wasn't wearing underwear,
at least I prayed that
She might be the one
Maybe we'd have some fun
Maybe we'd watch the sun rise

But that night,
I learned some girls try too hard
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Some girls try too hard
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Some girls try too hard
to impress with the way that they dress
With those things on their chests
and the things they suggest to me

I couldn't believe
what this lady was saying
The names she was dropping
and the games she was playing
She dated this guy
who now rides for Black Flys
How she's down with the wise
well-constructed disguise

Now, I'd rather go dateless
than stay here and hate this
Her volume of makeup,
her fake tits were tasteless
So I said I'd call her,
but never would bother
Until I got turned down
by another girl at a party

So when you see her standing there
With green eyes and long blond hair
She won't be wearing underwear
and you'll discover
This girl's not the one
and she'll never be fun
You should just turn and run
Because you'll find out
that some girls try too hard

Na na na, na na na, na na na
Some girls try too hard
Na na na, na na na, na na na
And some girls try too hard
to impress with the way that they dress
With those things on their chest
and the things they suggest to me

Na na na, na na na, na na na
Some girls try too hard
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Some girls try too hard
