When A Girl

(album: To Anyone Like Me - 2020)

Girl you've got a voice, you can sing
But you should never use it to speak
Sure you've got a face but some
Makeup on will make you look less unique

All the emotions and tears flooding over the moment I enter my door
Sometimes I don't even try
'Cause I'm tired of not knowing who I'm doing it for

Honestly, I can't be
All that you want
I'm too little, too much
When a girl is good, she's never good enough
I'm too smart if I think
I'm too drunk if I drink
I'm too boring when I'm sober, I give up
You don't have to stay
You don't have to wait
I will never fit in your mold
If you want you can call somebody else
Or do it by yourself
You don't have to stay to be let down
'Cause honestly I can't be

Just 'cause I'm polite
I will always have to fight to get into rooms
And if they let me in
I will have to work a little harder than him

All the emotions and tears flooding over the moment I enter my door
Sometimes I don't even try
'Cause I'm tired of not knowing who I'm doing it for

Honestly, I can't be
All that you want
I'm too little, too much
When a girl is good, she's never good enough
I'm too smart if I think
I'm too drunk if I drink
I'm too boring when I'm sober, I give up
You don't have to stay
You don't have to wait
I will never fit in your mold
If you want you can call somebody else
Or do it by yourself
You don't have to stay to be let down
'Cause honestly I can't be

Boys will be boys, but the girls can't be girls
If they are then they are never good enough
A voice is a voice, and it needs to be heard
Now I'm done with holding back, I've had enough

I am not what you want
I am little and much
When a girl is good, she's always good enough
I am smart if I think
I get drunk if I drink
When a girl is good, she's always good enough
You don't have to stay
You don't have to wait
I will never fit in your mold
If you want you can call somebody else
Or do it by yourself
You don't have to stay to be let down
'Cause honestly, honestly

Boys will be boys
But the girls can't be girls
If they are then they are never good enough
A voice is a voice
And it needs to be heard
Now I'm done with holding back
I've had enough
I am not what you want
I am little and much
When a girl is good, she's always good enough
