Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
i'm exposed
and it's no big surprise
don't you think i know
exactly where i stand
this world is forcing me
to hold your hand
cause i'm just a little girl, little ol' me
don't let me out of your sight
i'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
so don't let me have any rights
oh... i've had it up to here!
the moment that i step outside
so many reasons
for me to run and hide
i can't do the little things
i hold so dear
cause it's all those little things
that i fear
cause i'm just a girl
i'd rather not be
cause they won't let me drive
late at night
i'm just a girl
guess i'm some kind of freak
cause they all sit and stay
with their eyes
i'm just a girl
take a good look at me
just your typical prototype
oh... i've had it up to here!
oh... am i making myself clear?
i'm just a girl
i'm just a girl in the world
that's all that you'll let me be!
i'm just a girl
living in captivity
you rule your thumb
makes me worry some
i'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
what i've succumbed to
is making me numb
i'm just a girl, my apologies
what i've become is so burdensome
i'm just a girl, lucky me
twiddle-dum there's no comparison
oh... i've had it up to here
MEANING:
I love this song. And of course, that's cause i'm just a girl and we live in an unfair world. Some people are sexist and i hate them. The title speaks for itself and yup, she makes herself really clear =)
