lyrics

LYRICS:
It’s assumed that I am
Complicated I am
Interrogated over what I can do, because
As a woman I am
Expected to be perfect
Not step in puddles or I’ll get muddy shoes
But if puddle jumping’s my top concern then watch and learn cause I’m about to jump on you

It’s frustrating when I
Bust my ass for you
And get told that I still need to pull my weight but say
There’s a world out there where
Women everywhere can
Say no and it means no not yes or my mistake
I don’t know if it’s possible but even so it’s a risk I’m prepared to take

I’ve done my time
I’ve stood in line
I’ve been told how to smile and I’ve been told I’m not worthwhile or that I am hurting your pride
Try seeing the world through a girls eyes

Pushed your buttons have I?
Pushed your limits have I
Broken the glass roof that you weren’t prepared to fix?
But see me
I’m the boss you hear me?
And words get thrown round easy
But my bones are made of steel you won’t break them with sticks
If history’s taught me anything it’s that you should watch out for my bag of tricks

I’ve done my time
I’ve stood in line
I’ve been told what to wear and how to do my hair or that I am hurting your pride
But try seeing the world through a girl's eyes

If we just met. (You can’t touch me)
Or if I’m upset (You can’t touch me)
If you’re a friend of a friend (You can’t touch me)
Or from way back when (You can’t touch me)
If I’m wearing a skirt (You can’t touch me)
Or wear makeup to work (You can’t touch me)
If I show lots of skin (You can’t touch me)
If I’m wearing a grin (You can’t touch me)
Unless I tell you so (You can’t touch me)
And if my answers no (You can’t touch me)
And just so you understand (You can’t touch me)
I’m gonna sing it again

I’ve done my time
I’ve stood in line
I’ve been told how to smile and I’ve been told I’m not worthwhile and told that I am hurting your pride
But when will you see the world from my side
How many more of us have to die
Before you see the world through a girl’s eyes
Through a girl's eyes
Through a girl's eyes
