Girls Can't Drive - From the Paramount+ Series ‘Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies'

Little girl with the perfect smile
Learned to talk, learned to walk every extra mile
Little girl with the perfect painted skin
Learned to just only apologize again
I never got a chance to decide
What I did, who I was, was idealized
If I ever crossed a dotted line
It was shamed, it was tamed, and it was criticized

I wanna be big, I wanna be bold
But I'm doing as I'm told
I wanna be seen, I wanna be loud
But they'll never hear a sound
How can I recognize
When it's my time, when I was never allowed to try?

That's why
Girls, girls can't drive
Ooh, ooh, girls can't drive

Since I've been so powerless
I back-seat-drive, manipulative
Survival is a learned lesson
So, I do what it takes, do what it takes to win

I wanna be big, I wanna be bold
But I'm doing as I'm told
I wanna be seen, I wanna be loud
But they'll never hear a sound
How can I recognize
When it's my time, when I was never allowed to try

That's why
Girls, girls can't drive

For so long, I've kept what, what I want deep in
So if I said it out loud, I wouldn't believe it

I'm gonna be big, I'm gonna be bold
I won't do as I am told
I'm gonna be seen, I'm gonna be loud
Until they hear every sound
How can I recognize
When it's my time, when I was never allowed to try

That's why
Girls, girls can't drive!
Girls can't drive!
Girls, girls can't drive!
Girls can't drive!
Girls, girls can't drive!
