strangers girls

just a girl, no doubt

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!
