Lyrics for About a Girl as interpreted by bonj

About a Girl Lyrics
I need an easy friend
I do
with an ear to lend
I do
think you fit this shoe
I do
but you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
you hang me out to dry
But I can`t see you every night
free

I do

I'm standing in your line
I do
hope you have the time
I do
pick a number to
I do
keep a date with you

I'll take advantage while you
hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
free

I need an easy friend
I do
with an ear to lend
I do
think you fit this shoe
I do
but you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
you hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
No, I can't see you every night
free

I do
I do
I do
I do

This song's about Kurt's old girlfriend Stacey, who threatened to throw Kurt out if he didn't get a job and hold it.

On the contrary, Cdconn, I'ts more like getting back at one of his old girlfriends. Negative Creep was another song to get back at one of his old enemies with..

It is supposedly about his old g-friend Tracy, she did threaten to throw him out. He never said who it was about publically, but one of his spokesmen told Tracy it was about her.

It was about Tracey, and it wasn't to get back at her for anything. The reason he wrote the song was because she wondered why he never wrote a song about her, so he wrote this one. But the part about throwing him out of her house if he didn't get a job is right. "I can't see you every night, free"

as fuckyouall said, it's about Tracey, cause she questioned kurt about why he never wrote a song for her...I really like the part that goes "I'll take advantage while you hang me out to dry, but I cant see you every night free" . This is one of my favourite Nirvana songs.

skater- yeah, it's most likely about a girl, since that's the title? *rolls eyes*

When Nirvana had played it at a gig for the first time Sub Pop owner Jonathan Poneman asked what the songs name was. The song at that time had no name. Kurt replied by saying "Uhhh. It's About a Girl". And thats how it was named. And yes it is about Tracy Marander.

Yeeeaaah.

I like the Unplugged version of About A Girl better than the original. It's still one of my favorite Nirvana songs, nonetheless...

ofcourse its about tracy, everyone knows that. and hes NOT insinuating that tracy is a hooker, she was threatening to kick him out because he didnt have a job and she was supporting the both of them thats how the "for free" line came in
