I am not a pretty girl That is not what I do I ain't no damsel in distress And I don't need to be rescued So put me down, punk Wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair? Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere? I am not an angry girl But it seems like I've got everyone fooled Every time I say something they find hard to hear They chalk it up to my anger And never to their own fear Imagine you're a girl Just trying to finally come clean Knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty And smiling And I am sorry But I am not a maiden fair And I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere And generally, my generation Wouldn't be caught dead working for the man And generally I agree with them Trouble is you gotta have youself An alternate plan And I have earned my disillusionment I have been working all of my life And I am a patriot I have been fighting the good fight And what if there are no damsels in distress What if I knew that and I called your bluff? Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down, Whether or not you ever show up? I am not a pretty girl I don't really want to be a pretty girl No, I want to be more than a pretty girl.

I used to think, I had the answers to everything But now I know, that life doesn't always go my way, yeah Feels like I'm caught in the middle That's when I realized I'm not a girl, not yet a woman All I need is time, a moment that is mine While I'm in between I'm not a girl There is no need to protect me It's time that I learn to face up to this on my own I've seen so much more than you know now So, don't tell me to shut my eyes I'm not a girl (not a girl, not yet a woman) Not yet a woman (I'm just trying to find the woman in me) All I need is time, a moment that is mine While I'm in between I'm not a girl But if you look at me closely You will see it in my eyes This girl will always find her way (I'm not a girl) I'm not a girl, don't tell me what to believe (Not yet a woman) I'm just trying to find the woman in me, yeah (All I need is time) all I need is time (a moment that is mine) While I'm in between I'm not a girl (not a girl, not yet a woman) Not yet a woman (I'm just trying to find the woman in me) not now All I need is time (all I need is time) a moment that is mine While I'm in between, I'm not a girl Ohh Not yet a woman
