I've been running outta patience
Playing way above my station
I must've forgot my place and got confused again
Cos I've been thinking for myself, see
Standing up on my own two feet
But people really wanna shoot me
Down d-down again

Oh I know what they say
Honey, I should be afraid
'Cos I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl
Got a brain and got a voice
I should leave it to the boys
'Cos I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl
But I won't be quiet, I'm gonna breathe fire
Oh you're never gonna drown me out
Never gonna push me down
So it's time for a change
'Cos you'll never hear me say
That I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl, yeah

Sick of being told I'm bossy
'Cos I won't let nobody boss me
People need to smell that coffee
And put the past to bed
See ladies need to be united
It ain't about who comes out highest
They only wanna see us divided
To knock us down again

Oh I know what they say
Honey, I should be afraid
'Cos I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl
Got a brain and got a voice
I should leave it to the boys
'Cos I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl
But I won't be quiet, I'm gonna breathe fire
Oh you're never gonna drown me out
Never gonna push me down
So it's time for a change
'Cos you'll never hear me say
That I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl, yeah

No, I don't need nobody here holding my hand
Sing it loud if you understand, I promise that
Oh I will be, no, nothing but real to myself
I will do me - nothing else

Oh I know what they say
Honey, I should be afraid
'Cos I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl
Got a brain and got a voice
I should leave it to the boys
'Cos I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl
But I won't be quiet, I'm gonna breathe fire
Oh you're never gonna drown me out
Never gonna push me down
So it's time for a change
'Cos you'll never hear me say
That I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl, yeah
