Just the Girl - daena

Step out into the Indian dust I can feel the cracks in my spirit They're starting to bust Drive by your house, nobody's home I'm trying to tell myself that I'm better off alone All of my friends say I should move on She's just another girl Don't let her stick it to your heart so hard And of all my friends say it wasn't meant to be And it's a great big world She's just another girl Another girl I went to see a fortuneteller That was a trip Maybe this confusion's got me losing my grip I can't believe you're out there Flying with somebody else, uh-huh Now Jason's getting married in the blink of an eye I got an invitation, but I didn't reply Tell your little brother that we put down the gloves And give him all of my love All of my friends say I should move on She's just another girl Don't let her stick it to your heart so hard And all of my friends say it wasn't meant to be And it's a great big world She's just another girl I could be reeling 'em in left and right Something's got a hold on me, tonight Well, maybe all of my friends should confront The fact that I don't want Another girl All of my friends say I should move on All of my friends say All of my friends say All of my friends say She's just another girl Now why can't I sleep at night? And why don't the moon look right The sounds up, the TV's on And it's a great big world She's just another girl Don't let her stick it to your heart, boy She's just another girl All of my friends say She's just another girl Another girl

She's cold and she's cruel but she knows what she's doin' She pushed me in the pool at our last school reunion She laughs at my dreams but I dream about her laughter Strange as it seems, she's the one I'm after 'Cause she's bittersweet She knocks me off of my feet And I can't help myself, I don't want anyone else She's a mystery, she's too much for me But I keep comin' back for more She's just the girl I'm lookin' for Just the girl I'm lookin' for She's just the girl I'm lookin' for She can't keep a secret for more than an hour She runs on one hundred proof attitude power And the more she ignores me, the more I adore her What can I do? I'd do anything for her 'Cause she's bittersweet She knocks me off of my feet And I can't help myself, I don't want anyone else She's a mystery, she's too much for me But I keep comin' back for more She's just the girl I'm lookin' for The way she sees it's me on her caller ID She won't pick up the phone, she'd rather be alone But I can't give up just yet 'Cause every word that she's ever said Still ringin' in my head Still ringin' in my head She's cold and she's cruel but she knows what she's doin' Knows just what to say so my whole day is ruined 'Cause she's bittersweet She knocks me off of my feet And I can't help myself, I don't want anyone else She's a mystery, she's too much for me But I keep comin' back for more 'Cause she's bittersweet She knocks me off of my feet And I can't help myself, I don't want anyone else She's a mystery, she's too much for me But I keep comin' back for more Oh, I keep comin' back for more She's just the girl I'm lookin' for Just the girl I'm lookin' for Just the girl (I'm lookin' for) She's just the girl (I'm lookin' for) Just the girl (I'm lookin' for) Just the girl I'm lookin' for

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes I'm exposed and it's no big surprise Don't you think I know exactly where I stand? This world is forcing me to hold your hand 'Cause I'm just a girl, oh, little old me Well, don't let me out of your sight Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite So don't let me have any rights Oh, I've had it up to here The moment that I step outside So many reasons for me to run and hide I can't do the little things I hold so dear 'Cause it's all those little things that I fear 'Cause I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be 'Cause they won't let me drive late at night Oh, I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak 'Cause they all sit and stare with their eyes Oh, I'm just a girl, take a good look at me Just your typical prototype Oh, I've had it up to here Oh, am I making myself clear? I'm just a girl I'm just a girl in the world That's all that you'll let me be 'Cause I'm just a girl living in captivity Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome Oh, I'm just a girl, what's my destiny? What I've succumbed to is making me numb Oh, I'm just a girl, my apologies What I've become is so burdensome Well, I'm just a girl, oh, lucky me Twiddle-dum, there's no comparison Oh, I've had it up to Oh, I've had it up to Oh, I've had it up to here

I'm done with walking lighter, trying not to break us All my allegiances are carrying the fake us I know this could be just the little sanctuary that we need I don't want to hurt you But lately it's been killing me to be So close, so close, but we don't touch We do it just to feel the rush I stumbled on your face in a daydream I tried to tell myself it was nothing But you know I can't tell lies and now I'm stuck 'Cause close isn't enough Close isn't enough Close isn't enough Oh, close isn't enough I fell into you like a diver in the ocean I hate myself for finding comfort in the notion And oh, it feels so far, free-falling to the bottom of your heart I don't want to lose you But lately it's been tearing me apart So close, so close, but we don't touch We do it just to feel the rush I stumbled on your face in a daydream I tried to tell myself it was nothing But you know I can't tell lies and now I'm stuck 'Cause close isn't enough Oh, close isn't enough Close isn't enough Oh, close isn't enough Just say our paths will cross and Just say our lives will touch And just say we're almost there but Almost isn't enough Almost isn't enough So close, so close, but we don't touch (touch, touch, touch) Never thought I'd want you this much I stumbled on your face in a daydream I tried to tell myself it was nothing But you know I can't tell lies and now I'm stuck 'Cause close isn't enough Oh, close isn't enough Close isn't enough Oh, close isn't enough Close isn't enough You know I wanna be close to you, baby, baby, baby Do you wanna be close to me, baby, baby, baby You know I wanna be close to you, baby, baby, baby Do you wanna be close to me, baby, baby, baby

I know I'm always saying that I hate cliches Don't hold my hand at movies, oh and by the way Don't you dare go trying to kiss me in the rain Or pick me up calling me baby I roll my eyes at couples everywhere I go I'll be the first to hang up on the telephone And yeah, don't get me started on what love is 'Cause I really don't know Oh, what have you done? I wanna take off and run 'Cause I think you might be the one For me, oh baby don't you leave I know that it's so overrated I hate it, hate it, hate it Oh, I can't take it Oh, tell me what you did to make me feel like this I swear I'm not the type of girl to reminisce On what happened last night under your streetlight Am I crazy? (Am I crazy?) You pick me up at seven, walk me to the car Now I'm writing stupid love songs on an old guitar And we're talking 'bout the future While you're pointing out a shooting star Oh, what have you done? I wanna take off and run 'Cause I think you might be the one For me, oh baby don't you leave I know that it's so overrated I hate it, hate it, hate it Oh, I can't take it, take it Oh, what have you done? I wanna take off and run 'Cause I think you might be the one For me, oh baby don't you leave I know that it's so overrated I hate it, hate it, hate it Oh, I can't take it I hate it, hate it, hate it I know that it's so overrated

Been in love with the same girl Since we were teenagers Can't imagine my life without her Didn't know I was proud 'til I found her But every couple of months, I'm afraid I made it up not enough to be taken Taken serious when I say "This is serious, not a phase" Why is everybody tryna make me Fit into the only way that they see? Hate me for the rules that I am breaking, breaking? Is my flag bright enough? Am I waving it high, high enough? And am I on the outside Of the outside of everyone? In the middle of downtown Gettin' lost in a big crowd Confetti on the dirty sidewalk But the colors always wash off Why is everybody tryna make me Fit into the only way that they see? Hate me for the rules that I am breaking, breaking? Is my flag bright enough? Am I waving it high, high enough? And am I on the outside Of the outside of everyone? Can I be me, and you be you? It could be simple if you want it to Yeah, I'll be me, let you be you Oh, we'll love each other through My flag's bright enough I am waving it high, high enough No, I'm not on the outside Of the outside of anyone Yeah, my flag's bright enough I am waving it high, high enough No, I'm not on the outside Of the outside of anyone My flag's bright enough I am waving it high, high enough No, I'm not on the outside Of the outside of anyone
