Just a Girl - Grace Davies

I’ve been running outta patience

Playing way above my station

I must’ve forgot my place and got confused again

Cos I’ve 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

'Cos I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl

Got a brain and got a voice

I should leave it to the boys

'Cos 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

'Cos 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

'Cos 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

'Cos I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl

Got a brain and got a voice

I should leave it to the boys

'Cos 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

'Cos 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 real to myself

I will do me — nothing else

Oh I know what they say

Honey, I should be afraid

'Cos I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl

Got a brain and got a voice

I should leave it to the boys

'Cos 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

'Cos you’ll never hear me say

That I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl, yeah
