Lyrics

Oh, Little China Girl
Oh, Little China Girl

I could escape this feeling with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing

I’m a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up in the morning wheres my little China Girl?
I hear hearts beating loud as thunder
I saw the stars crashing down

I’m feeling tragic like I’m Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
Its in the white of my eyes

My little china girl
You shouldn’t mess with me
I’ll ruin everything you are
I’ll give you television
I’ll give you eyes of blue
I’ll give you a man who wants to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby, Just you shut your mouth
She says … sh
She says
She says

And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby, Just you shut your mouth
She says … shhhhhhh
She says
She says

Oh, Little China Girl[x4]

  1. Now that so much about rock stars and pedophilia has come out this song take a on a whole new perspective. Hellwood and the music industry go hand-in-hand with Satanism and there life blood seems to be little children.

  2. I did some research on this song. There are a few possible meanings for it, including the interpretation of Bowie's producer Nile Rogers who said that "China Girl" is another word for "Cocaine" in this song. Besides that, there's the interpretation that the song is a musical piece of irony and that Bowie is mocking the obsession of white men with Asian women who are "sweet, demure and nonthinking" (Hopkins); men who like to dominate and control. I think that this interpretation is more likely to be accurate. Considering that the subject of this song is Kuelan Nguyen who is not Chinese but Vietnamese, it appears like even more of a stereotype of ignorant Western people who tend to call people from all sorts of Asian countries "Chinese".

  3. This song would of been one of my favorites if only the intro (0:08) would of played a few times throughout the song as a chorus. I'm completely shocked at David for not doing that.

  4. I'm APPALLED at the people who dissed this song!!!! Omg!!! You all are massive silly! Come on! a legend with Eddie Van Halen on guitar!!! Damn. It takes alot to stand up to your standards. I'm in awe of David ever since Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust…I'm 50 but he was before me!!

  5. I haven't heard this song in years but I think it got cut off early. I remember a much longer guitar solo at the end……….
