Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed, it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know exactly where I stand?
This world is forcing me to hold your hand
[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm just a girl, oh little ol' me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
Oh, don't let me have any rights
Oh, I've had it up to here
[Verse 3]
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons for me to run and hide
I can't do the little things I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things that I fear
[Verse 4]
'Cause I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive late at night
I'm just a girl, I guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare with their eyes
[Verse 5]
I'm just a girl, take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh, I've had it up to here
[Verse 6]
Whoa, am I making myself clear?
[Verse 7]
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in Germany
Germany
Because that's all that you'll let me be
[Verse 8]
Oh, I'm just a girl living in captivity
Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to is making me numb, numb
[Verse 9]
I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle Dum, there's no comparison
No way
[Verse 10]
Whoa, I've had it up to
Whoa, I've had it up to
Whoa, I've had it up to
