Rubber Little Girl

Where are we? Who are we? Why are we?

For example,

Well, I’d rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or I won’t know where I am

— Run for your Life, from The Beatles, Rubber Soul, 1965

Please note, we’re talking about a “little girl” keeping her head.

We’re talking about a “little girl”.

We’re talking about a “little girl” keeping her head so a grown man will be able to keep his head. We’re talking about a grown man threatening a little girl.
