Our edited version of the sessions begins with Steven talking to Joey, asking him to play a section differently: "Joey, you know that part 'tan tan tan,' can you keep all fours on the drums, with the bass drum?" Although the songwriting is credited to Steven and Joe, this session makes it seem like a true group effort. Midway through, the track takes on a funkier feel. At one point during the session, Steven playfully introduces Joe, saying, "Joe Perry, ladies and gentlemen, the young, the dynamic," but unfortunately, his solo is barely audible in the mix.

The title "Girl Keeps Coming Apart" seems to refer to the emotional instability of the woman described in the song. The lyrics suggest that she is unpredictable and difficult to understand, causing frustration and rejection for the narrator. The phrase "coming apart" can imply a breakdown or loss of control, which may describe the woman's emotional state. The repetition of the phrase "keeps coming apart" in the chorus emphasizes the persistent and ongoing nature of this instability, despite the narrator's efforts to cope with it. Overall, the title conveys a sense of frustration and confusion in dealing with a challenging relationship.

The lyrics describe a woman who is emotionally unstable and difficult to understand, causing frustration and rejection for the narrator. Despite her alluring qualities, the narrator feels sedated and boxed up in her presence. The chorus urges the listener not to let the situation bring them down. The final lines of the song suggest a sexual encounter between the narrator and the woman, with the lyrics "So there she was/Buns up and kneelin'/I was a wheelin' and a dealin'/My ace in the hole so to speak".
