Lyrics
I'M A GIRL
Jean Mazzei
I?ve got a poetry brain, I know it?s a strain
I don?t want to train you to understand my meaning
I support myself, got good gin on the shelf You?re no christmas elf
You think I?m tough Well I got news for you
They?re called survival skills Something you don?t have
Cuz I can feel I get happy and sad
And I know when someone?s treated me bad
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
I?m a g-g-g-g-girl (g-g-g-g girl)
Not a b-b-b-b-boy(b-b-b-b boy
I?m a gggggirl (gggg girl)
Not a ttttttoy (tttt oy)
Girl (gggg girl)
Doy (dddd doy)
Wo oh oh oh oh (break) I?m a female
I like to buy shoes, that?s no big news
Overpaid my dues in the boy department
So I cashed you in You?re another has been
I?m my own heroine
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
Chorus
Oh oh oh take your big bad stick
Oh oh oh you come too quick
Oh oh oh I don?t believe your love
Oh oh of course I won?t cook for a slob
A big fat slob without a job why?
Cuz I?m a girl Not a maid I?m a girl Bills are paid
I?m a girl Lemonade
Wo oh oh oh oh I?m a female
