Lyrics:

 <verse music="" with="" muted="" part="" 11="" times="">

  <vocals come="" in="" on="" 5th="" time="">

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

'Ca[Bm]use I am just a[A] girl, li[G]ttle ol' me   [A]

Don[Bm]'t let me out of[A] your sight    [G]              [A]

I'm[Bm] just a girl, [A]all pretty an[G]d petite      [A]

So [Bm]don't let me hav[A]e any rights[G]           [A]
G         C  (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh...I've had it up to here!

   <verse music="" with="" muted="" part="" 9="" times="">

    <vocals come="" in="" on="" 3rd="" time="">

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

'Caus[Bm]e I am just a gir[A]l

I'd r[G]ather not be    [A]

'Caus[Bm]e they won't let m[A]e drive

Late [G]at night    [A]

I'm j[Bm]ust a girl      [A]

Guess[G] I'm some kind of [A]freak

'Caus[Bm]e they all sit an[A]d stare

With [G]their eyes [A]

I'm j[Bm]ust a girl      [A]

Take [G]a good look at me [A]

Just [Bm]your typical [A]prototype     [G]              [A]
G         C  (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh...I've had it up to here!

     <solo over="" chorus="" music="">

      <do the="" <span="">
       [Bm]
       [A]
       [G]
       [A] thing 4 times>

       [G]
       [C]  (
       [G] and
       [C] muted)
Oh...I am making myself clear?

       <verse music="" with="" muted="" part="" 7="" times="">

        <vocals come="" in="" on="" 3rd="" time="">

I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!

I'm just [Bm]a girl, living in ca[A]ptivity               [G]                                  [A]

Your rule[Bm] of thumb

Makes me [A]worry some     [G]                    [A]

I'm just [Bm]a girl, what's my de[A]stiny?         [G]                                 [A]

What I've[Bm] succumbed to

Is making[A] me numb           [G]                          [A]

I'm just [Bm]a girl, my apologies[A]                  [G]                                [A]

What I've[Bm] become is so burde[A]nsome             [G]                            [A]

I'm just [Bm]a girl, lucky me    [A]                   [G]                                  [A]

Twiddle-d[Bm]um there's no compari[A]son              [G]                            [A]

         [G]
         [C]  (
         [G]'s and
         [C]'s muted throughout)
Oh...I've had it up to!

Oh...I've[G] had it up to!     [C]

Oh...I've[G] had it up to here![C]                      [Bm]
(slow down on the last G and let the final Bm ring out)
