Lyrics: I saw your picture in a thousand places, she is the girl of today Everyone thinks they own the girl of today Forget your manners Your elegant lyrics Because you've always been indifferent to the girl of today And how do you expect the girl of today to behave? With her mouth open and destroyed because she's the girl of today You never know if the charm is real So much pleasure on offer without tears While she finds the tedium entertaining, being the girl of today Time has run out and collected its toll Without a doubt, she's forgotten how much she's lost Perhaps your wit will corner the girl of today And you dream of rolling around with the girl of today Unbearable music, calming newspapers Modeling awards, salon alibis There are no surprises for the girl of today There are no surprises for the girl of today There are no surprises for the girl of today The song "La Chica De Hoy" (This Year's Girl) by Elvis Costello & The Attractions & Cami speaks about the struggles and challenges faced by a modern, independent woman. The song criticizes society's objectification and ownership of women, where many people feel entitled to control her and dictate her behavior. The lyrics also highlight the pressure on women to conform and the emptiness that can come from societal expectations. The song suggests that society values surface-level pleasures and doesn't appreciate the true depth and complexities of the "girl of today." It expresses the frustration of being underestimated and reduced to a mere object of desire. Overall, "La Chica De Hoy" reflects on the complexities and contradictions of modern relationships and the societal pressures faced by women.
