I learned from my mother
What she learned from her mother
Sit still, look pretty
Just flow with the water
Feel the ache in my stomach
But I'll go a little longer
No it won't kill me just to try a bit harder
But you would never know
Cause that's just how it goes
Oh
Girls will be girls
Hold the weight of the world
Behind a painted smile
Saying "oh I'm fine"
And girls will be there
Hold your hand when you can't
Get out of bed sometimes
Saying "you'll be fine"
Cause girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls
Girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls
You picked me up
In the middle of the night
He broke my heart
For the 100th time
You knew what to say
You've been here before
And you've seen all the pain
That he would ignore
Oh that's just how it goes
Girls will be girls
Hold the weight of the world
Behind a painted smile
Saying "oh I'm fine"
And girls will be there
Hold your hand when you can't
Get out of bed sometimes
Saying "you'll be fine"
Cause girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls
Girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls
Girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls
Girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls will be girls
Girls will be girls
Hold the weight of the world
Behind a painted smile
Saying "oh I'm fine"
