No Doubt’s “Just a Girl”

[Verse 1]

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



[Chorus]

Cause I'm just a girl, little old 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



[Post-Chorus]

Oh, I've had it up to here



[Verse 2]

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



[Chorus]

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



[Post-Chorus]

Oh, I've had it up to here

Oh, am I making myself clear?



[Bridge]

I'm just a girl

I'm just a girl in the world

That's all that you'll let me be



[Chorus]

I'm just a girl, living in captivity

Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome

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



[Outro]

Oh, I've had it up to

Oh, I've had it up to

Oh, I've had it up to here
