lyrics

Reciting sappy love song lyrics
I’m hoping you’re the ears meant to hear them
And I, I don’t know what this all means
But I know what it seems
It seems on tv, it’s the only words they’re saying
And these magazines say I got to be playing

And I’m just a little girl
In this whole wide world
Doing whatever I can to fit in

He says he wants to take it to the next level
What am I, just a video game
Holding hands in your parents’ basement
The look in your eyes is just stopping time
Moving closer with your arm around me
Nervously you say, “I want to be serious”

And I’m just a little girl
In this whole wide world
Doing whatever I can to fit in

You gotta find that one boy
That one special boy
And when you find him
You’ll be that special girl
The only girl
And you’ll do what it takes to keep him
You’ll learn and you’ll sacrifice
You’ll pluck and you’ll curl
And you’ll stay trim
You’ll wax ad you’ll exfoliate
And you will have figured things out by then
And he will be yours

Maybe this is nothing new
There are plenty of boys who are just like you
But this is different this time
Can’t you see this is so serious
Maybe I’m not ready for this
But what else is a girl to do

And I’m just a little girl
In this whole wide world
Doing whatever I can to fit in
