Just A Girl

No Doubt · Boom Box [2003]

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 old me

So 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

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

I've had it up to here

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



I've had it up to

I've had it up to

I've had it up to here
