| HOW DO YOU TALK TO GIRLS (Music & Lyrics by Rick Springfield) Well I'm sick of hanging out on the street Every Saturday night with the boys Listening to the radio's big beat We crank it just to hear the noise Yeah we talk about the girls, girls, girls And we talk, talk, talk all night Sure we're all Romeos and Casanovas But we can't seem to get it right Seems I'm making it harder and harder While everybody else is doing well I get confused by their bodies I get tangled in their curls How do you talk to girls How do you talk to girls What's a poor boy to do Tell me how do you talk to girls how do you talk to girls I see this girl over there right away I'm trying to think of something to say Well I think I'll have one more drink I'll be ready to make my play But this guy moves in and he talks to her And she nods her head Well I'm used to missing out on the girl But I want to know what he said Seems I'm making it harder and harder While everybody else is doing well I get confused by their bodies I get tangled in their curls How do you talk to girls

I really do like this song. When I hear it I picture shy Rick, the Rock God in glasses. SO cute! This one seems like it was written way before this point in his life. It sounds like a so much younger Rick. Complete insecurity. That adolescent awkwardness. Some of that self professed shyness evident in there as well. Just really feels like it should have been on WCD or even earlier to me. Kind of a fun song though. Just feels so out of place for me. I really like this song. Love the tune of it. It's so hard to imagine Rick having such a hard time connecting with women, though. You'd think he'd just need to stand there, looking like Rick Springfield, and they'd come to him, but evidently that wasn't the case. This to me is another take it
-or- leave it song. Yeah, I sing along. Rick is definitely the lyric master on this one
because it just kinda rolls off your tongue - has that wonderful hook, and positively
REEKS with "teen idol". It has a good beat and is easy to dance to - so I give
it a 90, Mr Clark. Every time this song comes on, I get such a vivid picture in my head of Rick, standing at a bar, wanting to make a move, but just can't. You just don't expect that someone that looks that good would have problems, but you hear people talk about it all the time. The really good looking people seem so unapproachable that they tend not to get asked, and him having his history with shyness, he probably wasn't the smoothest operator around. I really like this song, it totally conjures up a picture in my head, and I feel his frustration and pain. My favorite part of the song is the verse starting with "Am I stupid or misunderstood....." Haven't we all felt that way? It seems like everybody else is successful and we think we're doing all the right things and it's just not working. SONG FACTS: This song appears on the
