I don’t want my no make-up, baggy clothes,
guy t-shirts, unstyled hair (and no, it is not that time of the month)
Gamer points, horror movies, lack of manners, boldness-- to confuse anybody.
I am a girly girl.

Beneath this dark, oversized wardrobe exterior
lies the fragile damzel in distress plea for rescue,
that any boy has yet to hear.
I constantly shop for clothes
and set my shoes in rows
in my closet.
If Jenn broke up with Joe,
I'd be the first to know.
If a knight is passing through,
I'll wait for my rescue.
I am a girly girl.

Because I like pink.
And I always cry.
I've got a diary full of sluts that I wish would die
I get all my jeans from Garage.
(Well... except... this pair's from Wal-Mart.)
I don't do sports, technology or comic books.
Because... I really don't know...anything about it...
but if I did, I wouldn't like it
Because that's a waste of time.
Cosmo's more productive.

I scream, nag and conspire
not caring who gets hurt
And even if he's your boyfriend
I'm still gonna flirt
because I am a girly girl... or am I?

I don't really go shopping for fun.
I don't say I'm finished eating until I'm actually done.
No, I'm not a lesbian, I'm human.

I want to laugh, joke and say what's on my mind
I can be honest without being unkind.

Like all the women before us.
I want to decide what makes me me,
and not sit in a box that tells me what I should be
because I have ideas.

When the other kids walk by,
I still throw a smile.
Why should I judge them because we differ in style?
Surely I am a girly girl.

I want to see things, learn things, say things
and not just what MTV tells me.

I don't need a man to make me complete,
'cause there are things in life that only I can beat.
But I won't count out love, should we meet.

He's not sent to rescue me, but hold my hand.
Night in shining armour,
fact, myth, hope, fad.

I will stand by him,
swim the deepest ocean for him,
love him, share with him, be strong for him.
be his rock, his support.
He will be my partner,
as I will be his.

My femininity will live on in my daughters
and all of my sons with be tolerant and accepting,
they will not be ignorant.

The media tells me all day long
that I have described womanhood completely wrong
but you ask any honest woman and she will agree,
ask any decent man and he too will see that
I am a girly girl.
