Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm that girl you think that's got it figured out
But I walk around with a head full of doubt
The cruelest words about me come from my own mouth
La da dee, la dee da
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm that girl who wants what I ain't got
Who looks in the mirror, sees all that I'm not
Wish I could jump off this reckless train of thought
La da dee, la dee da
[Verse 3]
Well it's a cruel, cruel world
[Verse 4]
For Collie and her golden homecoming crown
For Penny's dirty secret getting spread all over town
For Hanna and her skinny jeans, so damn scared to eat
Well, the DJ haunts the halls and the boys, they never call
And I guess we're all the same after all, nervous girls
[Verse 5]
Well, I'm that girl who gave my heart up
Got close to picture perfect or at least close enough
To watch the pieces scatter then pick 'em all up
La da dee, la dee da
[Verse 6]
Oh, but I still believe in love
[Verse 7]
For Heather waiting tables, tryna pick up from the past
For Jenny with that diamond ring and a vow that didn't last
For Alice turning thirty, looking through that looking glass
Well, the DJ haunts the halls and the boys, they never call
And I guess we're all the same after all, nervous girls
[Verse 8]
I'm scared and I'm brave or somewhere between the two
I'm beautifully strong and tragically confused
Yeah, I'm that girl that just like you
[Verse 9]
Well, the DJ haunts the halls and when the boys finally call
We're not sure that we want 'em after all, yeah
Nervous girls, nervous girls, nervous girls, nervous girls
