about

"If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman." —Margaret Thatcher

lyrics

You can do anything you want to do
Be anything you want to be
Climb a mountain to the highest summit
Or sail across the sea

But they don't tell you all they could
They don't tell you it's a game
They don't show you what they should
And then you think you're to blame
When you have a girl's name

You're at the top of your class
Always first in line
Working twice as hard, twice as fast
Just to end up left behind

You can never show emotion
You can never fan the flame
Have to read between the rules
And still try to stay sane
When you have a girl's name

Oh, baby
I don't need no man to save me
I can make it just fine on my own
So why don't you take your hands off of me
And use them to drive yourself home

All your empty words don't mean
A goddamn thing to me
If you were really sorry
You'd just leave me be

Maybe try to do
The right thing now and then
Behave in a way
I don't have to defend

Now the hour has come
And everything has changed
It's time for me to be proud
And you to be ashamed

If you want to help just unlock the gates
Drop the keys, and get out of the way
Of me and my girl's name
Of me and my girl's name
