To Be a Girl
Wake up wipe the sleep from my eyes
Oh the make up's still on from the party last night
Oh its such a shame, that my face ain't quite what they'd like
Turn to the mirror on the door
I look my body up and down for any flaws
Its such a shame that my body ain't quite what they'd like
To be a girl in this world
To be a girl in this world
Look at those supermodels pretty and slim
Oh you know, just to see what's in
Oh I know, I know you'll say that I'm worth more
But sometimes I just don't care
No, because the expectations they are still there
They don't seem to be going anywhere
No, they don't seem to be going anywhere
Because we are girls in this world
We are girls in this world
We are girls in this world
Mmhmm
Am I a good friend?
Am I good in bed?
Does he really love me?
Is this shit all in my head?
Because we are all chess pieces
In a game no longer black and white
Ever-changing in society's eyes'
Cant seem to get it right
Because we are girls in this world
We are girls in this world
We are girls in this world
To be a girl in this world
I don't mean to sound small
Because us girls we'll win this war
But sometimes its ok to cry
Cause we're not always gonna be quite what they'd like
Oh the make up's still on from the party last night
Oh its such a shame, that my face ain't quite what they'd like
Turn to the mirror on the door
I look my body up and down for any flaws
Its such a shame that my body ain't quite what they'd like
To be a girl in this world
To be a girl in this world
Look at those supermodels pretty and slim
Oh you know, just to see what's in
Oh I know, I know you'll say that I'm worth more
But sometimes I just don't care
No, because the expectations they are still there
They don't seem to be going anywhere
No, they don't seem to be going anywhere
Because we are girls in this world
We are girls in this world
We are girls in this world
Mmhmm
Am I a good friend?
Am I good in bed?
Does he really love me?
Is this shit all in my head?
Because we are all chess pieces
In a game no longer black and white
Ever-changing in society's eyes'
Cant seem to get it right
Because we are girls in this world
We are girls in this world
We are girls in this world
To be a girl in this world
I don't mean to sound small
Because us girls we'll win this war
But sometimes its ok to cry
Cause we're not always gonna be quite what they'd like
