Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take back the books and pack up the clothes
Clear out the room and drop off the key
Leave with what's left of my dignity
Get in the car and just go
[Verse 2]
Chalk it all up to experience
They said I'd fail, but I disagreed
Who could say then where my path would lead?
Well, now I know
[Chorus]
Back to the sun, back to the shore
Back to what I was before
Back where I'm known
Back in my own very small pond
Laugh with my friends when I arrive
We'll drop the top and just drive
That's fine with me
Just let me be legally blonde
[Verse 3]
Thanks for your help and for all you've done
Thank you for treating me decently
What's wrong?
Maybe someday, you can visit me
Give me a call, say hello
Wait, where are you going?
[Verse 4]
Sorry, I'm letting down everyone
What brought on this?
You did your best with a hopeless case
That's ludicrous
You are the best thing about this place
Elle, you should know
Callahan hit on me
[Verse 5]
He what?
He kissed me, he fired me
There's no reason for me to stay
[Verse 6]
What about love?
I never mentioned love
The timing's bad, I know
But perhaps, if I'd made it more clear
That you belong right here
You wouldn't have to go
'Cause you know that I'm so much in love
[Chorus]
Back to the sun, back to the shore
Back to what I was before
Please, will you open the door?
Lie on the beach, dream within reach
Don't stray beyond
We both know you're worth so much more
Some girls fight hard, some face the trial
Some girls were just meant to smile
[Outro]
If you can hear, can I just say
How much I want you to stay?
It's not up to me, just let me be
Legally blonde
I need you to stay
It's not up to me, just let me be
Legally blonde
