Two phrases from the Beatles song Girl
Hello from Bulgaria!Could someone explain the sense of the phrases from the 1st and the 3rd verses of the famous song Girl - "came to stay" and "puts you down" ?
The couplets are:
" Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay? "
and
"She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool."
Thanks in advance!

Came to stay = arrived with the purpose of remaining permanently. Puts you down = denigrates/belittles you; reduces you in worth or character, usually verbally.
