Just a girl

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 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 stare

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 

Your rule of 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! 

Oh...I've had it up to!! 

Oh...I've had it up to here!
