Lyrics

[Intro]
Huh!
[Verse 1]
Could dress up to get love
But guess what? I'm never gonna be that girl
Who's living in a Barbie world
Could wake up in make up
And play dumb, pretending that I need a boy
Who's gonna treat me like a toy
[PreChorus]
I know the other girlies wanna wear expensive things
And diamond rings
But I don't wanna be a puppet that you're playing on a string
This queen don't need a king
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9-to-5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
[Verse 2]
Mr. Right could be nice
For one night, but then he wanna take control
And I would rather fly solo
And Snow White, she did right
In her life, had seven men to do the chores
'Cause that's not what a lady's for, no
[PreChorus]
The only thing a boy's gonna give a girl for free's
Captivity (No)
And I might love me some vanilla, but I'm not that sugar sweet
Call me HBIC
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9-to-5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
[Bridge]
Sure, I'm a pretty girl up in a pretty world
But they say pretty hurts
And I don't wanna be still, still, still
I'm a pretty girl up in a pretty world
No, I don't wanna sit still, no
Sure, I'm a pretty girl up in a pretty world
I don't wanna sit still, no
But they say pretty hurts
I don't wanna sit still
I'm a pretty girl up in a pretty world
Sit still, look pretty
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9-to-5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9-to-5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
[Outro]
Sit still, look pretty
Sit still, look pretty
