LYRICS
I been running out of patience
Playing way above my station
I must’ve forgot my place and got confused again
‘Cause I been thinking for myself, see
Standing up on my own two feet
But people really wanna shoot me down, d-down again
Oh, I know what they say
Honey, I should be afraid
‘Cause I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl
Got a brain and got a voice
I should leave it to the boys
‘Cause I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl
But I won’t be quiet, I’m gonna breathe fire
Oh, you’re never gonna drown me out
Never gonna push me down
So it’s time for a change
‘Cause you’ll never hear me say that
I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl, yeah
Sick of being told I’m bossy
‘Cause I won’t let nobody boss me
People need to smell that coffee
And put the past to bed
See, ladies need to be united
It ain’t about who comes out highest
They only wanna see us divided
To knock us down again
Oh, I know what they say
Honey, I should be afraid
‘Cause I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl
Got a brain and got a voice
I should leave it to the boys
‘Cause I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl
But I won’t be quiet, I’m gonna breathe fire
Oh, you’re never gonna drown me out
Never gonna push me down
So it’s time for a change
‘Cause you’ll never hear me say that
I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl, yeah
No, I don’t need nobody here holding my hand
Sing it loud if you understand
I promise that
Oh, I will be, no, nothing but I filter myself
I will do me, nothing else
Oh, I know what they say
Honey, I should be afraid
‘Cause I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl
Got a brain and got a voice
I should leave it to the boys
‘Cause I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl
But I won’t be quiet, I’m gonna breathe fire
Oh, you’re never gonna drown me out
Never gonna push me down
So it’s time for a change
‘Cause you’ll never hear me say that
I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl, yeah

I’m just a girl I’m down on my knees Scrubbing the floor And whatever you please (and Ladies . . . you know what I mean) I’m just a girl Doing dishes and the clean up And all your stinkin’ laundry And thank you, Honey, While I’m working my ass off It just means the world When you say you’re “fond of me” (and yes, I’m speaking sarcastically) I’m just a girl So, you walked on the wet floor When I told you to wait You are gonna have to step The hell up ‘cuz this is turning to hate (Shoulda got me a woman to date) (She’d pull her weight) I’m just a girl So, I’ll pick up the kids And while I’m at it Might as well stop at the… Read more »
Thank you for saying that. I thought I would get banned from DWW because of my hostility. I do love my better half – just a way lot more when he’s not working from home.
You don’t ever have to worry about that here, Laurel! Unless you are saying it to another member directly being insulting that will never happen…I can tell you’re a nice person! You will always have full creative control….that is what writing is all about..expressing ourselves..We love you and your writing! Samantha
Really, Samantha, thank you. Times are really really bad right now. I appreciate your kind words more than you could ever know. I have thanked God for you. Blessings, Dear . . .
I am a woman.
I have an amazing bod.
Resilient as they come,
Pain threshold through the roof.
But, please, Mister, please
Don’t expect a perfection
That you don’t expect from self.
Sometimes we ladies goof
But please, Sir, jut shut up
And close your mouth.
Love this and the positivism. Shirley, it crosses my mind at least once every day how much I love you and who you are…You add so much to this world. Very thankful for you and your friendship….Love you!!!! thank you for everything, by the way….You don’t know how appreciative I am to have you in my life….Samantha

Petals fall on
mislaid thoughts
belittled in shame
mistakes has left
a residue of pain
no more cowardice tears
slumber this madness
away in yesterday fears
love burns entramelled
with spirited fire
joyfull strokes of change
melts my rage
soothing gently falls the rain.
Nice. You should keep this mood. Looks good on you my friend 😊👍👏💞🔥

I’m more
than just
a girl
I have a
voice you
haven’t even
heard
Don’t push
me around
I”ll use
my power to
scream & shout
I have a choice
to be anyone
I want to be
Because I’m
Not just a girl
I think you forgot your line…just breathe…
Nice write Reenie.

Welcome to my world
It seems one of no respect
Now I don’t want any conflict
I’m just a girl
I want a man who’ll treat me right
Put on a pedestal each night
I’m just a girl
A bad girl who wants a man to show me off
To shower me with gifts
