GIRLHOOD
Embracing Girlhood: Soft Sides and Furry Legs
Lyrics
I like the shirts with the buttons on the right side
I prefer shirts that button on the right side.
I don't wear skirts like to keep the legs furry like
I choose not to wear skirts and like to keep my legs hairy.
Go ahead and flirt only want the boys with their soft side
I'm open to flirting but only interested in guys who show their sensitive side.
Facing the world
Facing the challenges of life.
I'll kick you where it hurts
I will stand up for myself and hit back where it hurts.
Not so tough as I once heard
Contrary to rumors, I'm not as tough as people may think.
Big balls more like insecure
Criticizing someone's bravado as a cover for insecurity.
Boy cry it out it's okay you got your feelings hurt
Encouraging boys to express their emotions and not hide their pain.
I want to be your lover girl
Expressing a desire to be in a romantic relationship.
I'm not the imagine you think of first
Realizing that I may not be the first image that comes to mind.
Expand your little world to even more pretty girls
Encouraging broadening one's perspective to appreciate diverse beauty.
I like the shirts with the buttons on the right side
Reiteration of the preference for shirts with buttons on the right side.
I don't wear skirts like to keep the legs furry like
Reiterating the choice not to wear skirts and keeping legs hairy.
Go ahead and flirt only want the boys with their soft side
Reiterating interest in boys who display their soft side.
Facing the world
Repeating the theme of facing the challenges of the world.
Momma said shave your pits for the pool party
Mom's advice to shave armpits for a pool party at a young age.
At nine not a fan of razors near my body
Expressing a dislike for razors near the body at a young age.
Don't like the shit that fits my body too tight
Disliking tight-fitting clothes that conform to the body.
Got to hit the shops that get the baggy just right
Preferring baggy clothes that feel comfortable.
I want to be your lover girl
Repeating the desire to be a lover girl.
I'm not the imagine you think of first
Reiterating that I might not be the first choice in someone's imagination.
Expand your little world to even more pretty girls
Encouraging embracing a diverse world of pretty girls.
No real rules of girlhood
Asserting that there are no strict rules for girlhood.
Its just being a girl
Defining girlhood as simply being a girl.
Whatever that means
Expressing uncertainty about what being a girl truly means.
I like the shirts with the buttons on the right side
Repeating the preference for shirts with buttons on the right side.
I don't wear skirts like to keep the legs furry like
Reiterating the choice not to wear skirts and keeping legs hairy.
Go ahead and flirt only want the boys with their soft side
Reiterating interest in boys who display their soft side.
Facing the world
Repeating the theme of facing the challenges of the world.
I like the shirts with the buttons on the right side
Repeating the preference for shirts with buttons on the right side.
I don't wear skirts like to keep the legs furry like
Reiterating the choice not to wear skirts and keeping legs hairy.
Go ahead and flirt only want the boys with their soft side
Reiterating interest in boys who display their soft side.
Facing the world
Repeating the theme of facing the challenges of the world.
