Different for Girls

[Verse 1: Dierks Bentley]

She don't throw any t-shirt on and walk to a bar

She don't text her friends and say, "I gotta get laid tonight."

She don't say, "It's okay, I never loved him anyway."

She don't scroll through her phone just looking for a Band-Aid

[Chorus: Both]

It's different for girls when their hearts get broke

They can't tape it back together with a whiskey and Coke

They don't take someone home and act like it's nothing

They can't just switch it off every time they feel something

A guy gets drunk with his friends and he might hook up

Fast forward through the pain, pushing back when the tears come on

But it's different for girls

[Verse 2: Elle King, Dierks Bentley & Elle King]

She don't sleep all day and leave the house a wreck

She don't have the luxury to let herself go

She won't call just to curse

Found a wall she can punch

When the going gets tough, yeah, the guys they can just act tough

[Chorus: Both]

It's different for girls when their hearts get broke

They can't tape it back together with a whiskey and Coke

They don't take someone home and act like it's nothing

They can't just switch it off every time they feel something

A guy gets drunk with his friends and he might hook up

Fast forward through the pain, pushing back when the tears come on

But it's different for girls

[Bridge: Dierks Bentley]

It's different for girls

Nobody said it was fair

When love disappears, they can't pretend it was never there

[Outro: Both]

A guy gets drunk with his friends and he might hook up

Fast forward through the pain, pushing back when the tears come on

When the going gets tough, yeah, the guys they can just act tough

So tough

It's different for girls

It's different for girls
