They say, “You’re just a girl,
What could you possibly know?
You’re not strong enough,
You should probably let it go.”
They laugh when I speak up,
Like my voice doesn’t belong,
But I’ve been standing here
Knowing they’ve got it wrong.
You can put me in a box,
You can tell me what I can’t do,
But every time you count me out,
I’ll show you something new.
Yeah, I’m just a girl—
And I’m stronger than you think.
I can climb, I can fight,
I can stand right on the brink.
You say I can’t do anything
Because I’m not a guy,
But watch me reach the finish line While you’re asking yourself why.
I’m not here to prove I’m someone else— I’m proud of who
I am.
You call me “just a girl,” But I’ll show you who I
am. (yeah, yeah)
They say girls should step aside,
Let somebody else take the lead,
Like being strong is something Only guys are meant to be.
But I don’t need permission,
And I don’t need your crown,
I’ll build my own way up When you try to shut me
down.
You can say I’m not enough,
You can doubt me every day,
But I’ve got fire in my heart
And I’m finding my own way.
Maybe I’ll do what you said I couldn’t,
Maybe I’ll go where you said I shouldn’t.
Maybe I’ll surprise you,
Maybe I’ll change your mind,
Not because I’m better than you— But because I won’t leave myself
behind.
Yeah, I’m just a girl— So remember what you said.
Every “you can’t,” Is another step ahead.
You thought being a girl
Would keep me standing still,
But I’ve got my own strength,
And I always will.
I don’t need to be a guy
To prove what I can do.
I’m just a girl— And I’m more than enough,
too.
So call me “just a girl.” Say whatever
you want.
I’ll keep moving forward While you watch me prove
you
wrong.
