Just a Girl – No Doubt Annotations

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, little 'ol me
Don't let me out of your sight
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 I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
I'm just a girl,

Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype

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!
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Makes me worry some
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?

What I've succumbed to Is making me numb
I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison
Oh...I've had it up to!

Oh...I've had it up to!!
Shitty Day - Soko Annotations

I hate myself today.
I don't know what's happening to me.
I hate my face today.
I think I look so shitty.
I have some spot everywhere.

And I'm not even shaved.
My hair all greasy.
I look disgusting.
My eyes are glued.

My lips are chapped.
My legs are prickling.
And plus I'm stinky today.
How can I date someone with a face like that?

I know you're gonna dump me again,
And I am gonna cry.
Cause you want a perfect girl,

And I'm not what you expect.
You want a perfect girl,
And I look shitty today.
Maybe I should put some makeup,

And find some crazy outfits.
But I am very tired today
And I don't care if I'm not pretty.
Should be like these girls,

Skinny and great all the time.
I'm still wearing my slippers
And eat all the candies at home.
I should sleep more,

And stop going out everyday.
I should focus more,
And stop complaining today.
Tell me, How can I date someone with a face like that?
I know you're gonna dump me again,
And I am gonna cry.
Cause you want a perfect girl,

And I'm not so perfect.
You want a perfect girl,
And I look shitty today.
Tell me, how can I date someone with a face like that?
I know you're gonna dump me,
And I'm gonna cry.
Cater 2 U – Destiny’s Child Annotations

Baby, I see you working hard
I want to let you know I'm proud
Let you know that I admire what you do
The more I need to reassure you
My life would be purposeless without you
If I want it
(You got it)
When I ask you
(You provide it)
You inspire me to be better

You challenge me for the better
Sit back and let me pour out my love letter
Let me help you take off your shoes

Untie your shoe strings, take off your cufflinks
Do you wanna eat boo? Let me feed you
Let me run your bathwater, whatever your desire, I'll aspire
Sing you a song, turn my game on

I'll brush your hair, help you put your do-rag on
Want a foot-rub? You want a manicure?
Baby, I'm yours, I want to cater 2 you, boy
Let me cater 2 you

'Cause, baby, this is your day
Do anything for my man
Baby, you blow me away
Inspire me from the heart

Can't nothing tear us apart
You're all I want in a man
I put my life in your hands
I've got your slippers, your dinner

Your dessert and so much more
Anything you want, I wanna cater 2 you
Baby, I'm happy you're home

Let me hold you in my arms
I just wanna take the stress away from you
Making sure I'm doing my part

Boy, is there something you need me to do?
I know whatever I'm not fulfilling

No other woman is willing
I'm gonna fulfill your mind, body and spirit
I know whatever I'm not fulfilling
No other woman is willing
I'm gonna fulfill your mind, body and spirit
I promise ya, I'll keep myself up

Remain the same chick, you fell in love with
I'll keep it tight, I'll keep my figure right
I'll keep my hair fixed, keep rockin' the hottest outfits
When you come home late tap me on my shoulder, I'll roll

over
Baby, I heard you, I'm here to serve you
If it's love you need, to give it is my joy
All I wanna to do, it cater 2 you, boy
Let me cater 2 you


Anything you want, just let me cater 2 you
Inspire me from the heart

Can't nothing tear us apart
You're all I want in a man
I put my life in your hands
I wanna give you my breath, my strength, will to be here

That's the least I can do, let me cater 2 you
Through the good, the bad, the ups and the downs
I'll still be here for you, let me cater 2 you
'Cause you're beautiful, I love the way you are

Fulfill your every desire, your wish is my command
I wanna cater 2 my man
Let me cater 2 you


Anything you want, just let me cater 2 you

I Am Woman – Helen Reddy Annotations

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me

'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
I am woman watch me grow

See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
