Lyrics:
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
Cause it’s okay to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
Cause you think being a girl is degrading
But secretly
You’d love to know what it’s like
Wouldn’t you?
What it feels like for a girlSilky smooth
Lips as sweet as candy, baby
Tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patchesStrong inside but you don’t know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weakDo you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world for a girlHair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby
Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting
Hurt that’s not supposed to show and
Tears that fall when no one knows
When you’re trying hard to be your best
Could you be a little lessDo you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world for a girl
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
What it feels like for a girlStrong inside but you don’t know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weakDo you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world for a girl
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world for a girlIn this world
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
What it feels like in this world
