Just Because You're a Girl
Breaking Stereotypes: Unveiling the Real Message of 'Just Because You're a Girl'
Lyrics
You don't have to pay your dues,
You don't have to earn your place through hardship or struggle
Just because you're a girl,
Simply because of your gender
You've got other tools to use,
You possess alternative means or advantages
Just because you're a girl.
Merely because you're a girl
You've got a half way decent face,
You have a moderately attractive face
But you can't even play your bass,
Yet lack proficiency in playing the bass guitar
That's okay just shake those curls,
But that's acceptable, just rely on your charming appearance
Cause you're a girl.
Because you're a girl
You get help from everyone,
You receive assistance from others
Just because you're a girl,
Simply due to being female
What the hell have you ever done?
Questioning your achievements or contributions
Never mind you're a girl.
Disregard that because you're a girl
They love you out in Hollywood,
Popularity in Hollywood is unrelated to skill or talent
It doesn't mean you're any good,
Despite the adoration, it doesn't signify competence
Welcome to the cold hard world,
Welcome to the harsh reality
It's because you're a girl.
This treatment is because you're a girl
If the competitions fierce,
In intense competition, resort to body modifications
Just because you're a girl,
Merely due to being a girl
Get your nose or nipple pierced,
Consider piercing as a means to stand out
Just because you're a girl.
Because you're a girl
Pretend to be bi-sexual,
Feigning bisexuality for attention
Have secretary tangelo,
Using superficial attributes to advance
When underneath all the beads and pearls,
Beneath the surface appearance lies the gender-based treatment
It's because you're a girl.
It's due to you being a girl
It's what's between your legs that count,
Reducing your worth to genitalia
So let your braless bosom bounce,
Encouraging the display of breasts without a bra
Sexploitation makes me wanna hurl,
Objectification disgusts, yet it persists because of gender
But you're a girl.
But it's accepted due to you being a girl
You're the Queen of sweet sixteen,
You're celebrated at a young age
Just because you're a girl,
Merely because of your gender
You're in all the magazines,
Featured in numerous publications
Just because you're a girl.
Simply because you're a girl
The novelty will wear off soon,
The novelty of your status will fade
And you'll be back in your old room,
Returning to previous circumstances
Looking for another time to whirl,
Seeking another opportunity
Poor little girl.
Expressing pity for the girl
