| Album: Tragic Kingdom (1995), The Singles 1992-2003 (2003); Song: Just a Girl Written by: G. Stefani, T. Dumont 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 |
