Always being told
Be more lady-like
Let's her hair down
While she straddles her bike
She was always playin'
With her GI toys
She packs the goods
And she look like fire
Y'know shes rockin' in
Her black attire
People always saying
She's just one of the boys
Get your hair done
And you sport it with pride
Takin' out a room
With your long legged stride
All the rubber-necking
Providing simple joys
Strong and independent
Wear a backwards cap
Ya never fittin' in
Always catching flack
But you are beautiful
Don't listen to that noise
Girl
What you're trying to tell me
Is that you're not a real lady
But it's still going down
Move around the world
Like a satellite
Shining so bright
When ya seen at night
Everybody's envy
Its just part of your ploy
Grew up fast
Yeah, ya grew up tall
Hard to live a lie
Not worth living at all
Show'd ya daddy wrong
But ya hold it with poise
Girl
What you're trying to tell me
Is that you're not a real lady
But it's still going down
You play the game with
A little more hustle
You rock the world with
A little more muscle
Quarter sized slot
My jukebox is on shuffle
You take the world
With a little broad shoulder
Ain't nothing to explain
When ya get a little older
You got more to offer
Than your average girl
Girl
What you're trying to tell me
Is that you're not a real lady
But it's still going down
Girl
What you're trying to tell me
Is that you're a real lady
But it's still going down
