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 Well don't let me out of your sight
Oh, 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!
Oh I'm just a girl, living in captivity Your rule of thumb Make me worry some
Oh I'm just a girl, what's my destiny? What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb Oh I'm just a girl. My apologies
What I've become is so burdensome Oh 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 here. (sing365)
The song itself is written about Gwen Stefani's exasperation over female stereotypes, portraying women as weak and in need of a man to look after them. This is evident from lyrics such as "Don't you think I know / Exactly where I stand? / This world is forcing me / To hold your hand." She explained (wikipedia)
