girls will b girls

I learned from my mother, where she learned from her mother
Said: Still look pretty, just flow with the water
Feel the ache in my stomach, but I'll go a little longer
No, ill won't kill me, just try a bit harder

But you, will never know
'Cause that's just how it goes, ooh

Girls will be girls, hold the weight of the world behind a painted smile
Sayin': Oh, I'm fine, and
Girls will be there, hold your hand when you can't get out of bed sometimes
Sayin': 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 hundredth time
You knew what to say, you've been here before
And you seen all the pain that he will ignore

Oh, that's just how it goes (ooh, ooh)

Girls will be girls, hold the weight of the world behind a painted smile
Sayin': Oh, I'm fine, and (oh, I'm fine)
Girls will be there, hold your hand when you can't get out of bed sometimes
Sayin': You'll be fine, 'cause

Girls will be girls, will be girls, will be girls
Will be girls, will be girls, will be girls (they will be girls)
Girls will be girls, will be girls, will be girls
Will be girls, will be girls, will be girls (ooh)
Girls will be girls, will be girls, will be girls
Will be girls, will be girls, will be girls (ooh)
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
Sayin': Oh, I'm fine
