No Doubt – Just a Girl (album: Tragic Kingdom (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
Bm A G A
Cuz I’m just a girl, oh, 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 rights
G C
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
Bm A G A
‘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
G C
Oh… I’ve had it up to here!
[Solo] (Bm, A; G, A )x4
G C
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!
Bm A G A
Oh, I’m just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome
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 apologies
What I’ve become is so burdensome
Oh, I’m just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum, there’s no comparison
G C G C Bm
[Outro]: Oh… I’ve had it up to! (x2) Oh… I’ve had it up to here!
