Lyrics:
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I’m exposed
And it’s no big surprise
Don’t you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
Bm A G A
‘Cause I am just a girl, little ol’ me
Bm A G A
Don’t let me out of your sight
Bm A G A
I’m just a girl, all pretty and petite
Bm A G A
So don’t let me have any rights
G C (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh…I’ve had it up to here!
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
Bm A
‘Cause I am just a girl
G A
I’d rather not be
Bm A
‘Cause they won’t let me drive
G A
Late at night
Bm A
I’m just a girl
G A
Guess I’m some kind of freak
Bm A
‘Cause they all sit and stare
G A
With their eyes
Bm A
I’m just a girl
G A
Take a good look at me
Bm A G A
Just your typical prototype
G C (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh…I’ve had it up to here!
G C (G and C muted)
Oh…I am making myself clear?
I’m just a girl
I’m just a girl in the world…
That’s all that you’ll let me be!
Bm A G A
I’m just a girl, living in captivity
Bm
Your rule of thumb
A G A
Makes me worry some
Bm A G A
I’m just a girl, what’s my destiny?
Bm
What I’ve succumbed to
A G A
Is making me numb
Bm A G A
I’m just a girl, my apologies
Bm A G A
What I’ve become is so burdensome
Bm A G A
I’m just a girl, lucky me
Bm A G A
Twiddle-dum there’s no comparison
G C (G’s and C’s muted throughout)
Oh…I’ve had it up to!
G C
Oh…I’ve had it up to!
G C Bm
Oh…I’ve had it up to here!
(slow down on the last G and let the final Bm ring out)
I don’t have the album with me right now, so the timing for the
chorus may be a little off. If there are any corrections or comments

thank you
