No Doubt - Just A Girl - 1995


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
well don't let me out of your sight
oh I'm just a girl
all pretty and petite
so don't let me have any right

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 love 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
oh I'm just a girl
guess I'm some kind of freak
'cause they all sit and stare with their eyes
oh I'm just a girl
take a good look at me
just a 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 let me be

Oh I'm just a girl
living in captivity
your rule of thumb makes me worry so
oh I'm just a girl
what's my destiny
what I've succumbed to is making me numb

Oh I'm just a girl
my apology
what I've become is so burdensome
oh 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
