Shakira Just A Girl

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

'Cause I'm just a girl, little 'ol me

Don't let me out of your sight

I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite

So don't let me have any rights


Oh...I've had it up to here!

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


'Cause I'm just a girl I'd rather not be

'Cause they won't let me drive

Late at night I'm just a girl,

Guess I'm some kind of freak

'Cause they all sit and stare

With their eyes


I'm just a girl,

Take a good look at me

Just your typical prototype


Oh...I've had it up to here!

Oh...am I making myself clear?

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 a girl, living in captivity

Your rule of thumb

Makes me worry some


I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?

What I've succumbed to Is making me numb

I'm just a girl, my apologies

What I've become is so burdensome

I'm just a girl, lucky me

Twiddle-dum there's no comparison


Oh...I've had it up to!

Oh...I've had it up to!!

Oh...I've had it up to here!
