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, a little ′ol 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 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
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 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

Oh I'm just a girl, my apologies
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
