Lyrics
They never made me go to rehab.
No reason for me to go.
They never caught me making out
With somebody I don't know.
I've never danced half-naked
Or lip-synched at my shows.
Never had a posse or paparazzi
Flashing when I pose.
How do i get you to notice me?
How do i get you to notice me?
I'm just a normal girl,
Nothing here to shock you.
But if you give me a fighting chance,
I'll show you what I can do.
Just me in the flesh. I've got no gimmick
Like so many others do.
I'm just a normal girl.
I'm sorry if that's wrong according to you.
You know I've still never been to prison
So they say shame on me.
I never got shot, so the big crowds
All stay away from me.
Help to find some drama soon
So I can be redeemed,
'cause nobody wants a nobody like me
Appearing on this scene.
How do I get you to notice me?
How do I get you to notice me?
I'm just a normal girl,
Nothing here to shock you.
But if you give me a fighting chance,
I'll show you what I can do.
Just me in the flesh. I've got no gimmick
Like so many others do.
I'm just a normal girl.
I'm sorry if that's wrong according to you.
Do I have to shout it from the rooftops now?
Notice me. Notice me.
Do I have to stir it up, make a scene?
Notice me. Notice me.
When everybody's trying their best to be
Unique or bizarre,
Maybe it's somehow stranger now
To stay who we are.
I'm just a normal girl,
Nothing here to shock you.
But if you give me a fighting chance,
I'll show you what I can do.
I'm just a normal girl,
Nothing here to shock you.
But if you give me a fighting chance,
I'll show you what I can do.
Just me in the flesh. I've got no gimmick
Like so many others do.
I'm just a normal girl.
I'm sorry if that's wrong according to you.
Would you notice me?
Would you notice me?
You can't deny your eyes are searching for that next big something.
You want to stand behind the kind who will be next train wreck coming.
If I shaved my hair off clean,
Got surgery to be a beauty queen,
Would it change the way you see?
Would you notice me?
