I need an easy friend
I do ... with an ear to lend
I do ... think you fit this shoe
I do ... won't 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 too
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 do
I need an easy friend
I do ... with an ear to lend
I do ... think you fit this shoe
I do ... won't you have a clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
But I can't see you every night
Free

Did you know
Nirvana recorded "About a Girl" in 1989, when they were still at the beginning. The song was released on their first album, Bleach, which they released in June of that year. It was the third track on the album, and from the start it showed how they put their things together: noise, guitar, and a voice that didn't beat around the bush. The song was written by Kurt Cobain, the guy who sang and played, and left it as a reflection of how he felt at that moment. It wasn't anything complicated, but it had that power that made you think.

The story behind

Nirvana wrote About a Girl in 1988, before the band was famous. The song was recorded in December of that year in Seattle, with producer Jack Endino. It was the third track on the album Bleach, released in 1989. Although the band was part of the grunge movement, the song had a more pop sound, something Cobain didn't want to show at first. It took him some time to accept it, but in the end he included it. The lyrics talk about a complicated relationship with a girl named Tracy, his girlfriend at the time. She asked him why he had never written a song about her, and he replied that it was about her. The song reflects the conflicts in the relationship, such as the fact that Cobain didn't want to work or do housework. Sometimes he threatened to leave, but in the end he stayed. The acoustic version they recorded in 1993, during MTV Unplugged, became the most well-known.
