I'm Just A Girl Lyrics

Verse One

Waiting all your life
To talk about (talk about) the birds and the bees, yeah
Waiting all your life
To do the things (2x) the birds and the bees do

Growing up you learn to wait a while (a while)
Or take it slow awhile (a while)
‘Cause you’re learning from the right role models
Cinderella, Snow White – you know the rest
They made us all wanna choose perfection

(Doohoo Doo, ru, doohoohoohoe – yeah)

Growing up you think you’ve found the One (the One)
But you get hurt over and over again
Growing up you learn (you learn) to take control (control)
Or hurt them back (2x) – or stop this loving thing cause it’s not for you

Then one day you meet this guy
He seem so right
Are you mad to try again
But you do, you try again
If people wanna know why this is my answer…

Chorus:

I’m just a girl (I’m just a girl)
Who took a chance (who took a chance)
On someone extraordinary
A girl (I’m just a girl)
Who took a chance (who took a chance)
On someone extraordinary

His eyes make me believe in love
His heart made me try again
His life made me reach for life

Verse Two

Waiting all your life (your life) to live your life – (life)
now you’re caught up in group talk (talk) Waiting all your life (your life) to stand up tall – (tall)
now you’re too shy to let them see you (see you)

All grown up and it doesn’t make sense how they still hold you down (down)
And they still make you doubt (doubt)
Cinderella, Snow White, you know the rest
They might be real but focus on your own love story

(Doohoo Doo, ru, doohoohoohoe – yeah)

You know you wanna tell them about his dreams (dreams)
About his visions (visions) and how he made them real (real)
You know you wanna tell them amongst these things (things)
He still makes you feel like number one

But there’s one thing, they’ll find his flaws
Are you mad that’s what they’ll say
But you know and God knows he is human
If people wanna know why (why) I’m holding on
I have to say that…

Chorus:

I’m just a girl (I’m just a girl)
Who took a chance (who took a chance)
On someone extraordinary
A girl (I’m just a girl)
Who took a chance (who took a chance)
On someone extraordinary

His eyes make me believe in love
His heart made me try again
His life made me reach for life
