If I Had a Girl

歌詞

I'm a rock, I'm an island I need no-one to love me. At the end of the world There'll be no man above me. I work the livelong day To do things my way But if I had a girl I would tell her this: Oh your no means no But your skirt comes into question. That you ask for it will be the suggestion. You'll work the livelong day To take home half the pay So if I had a girl I would tell her this: You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster Don't take no shit off no lord, no master Don't listen when they say "how far you've come!" Coz you go to work and you raise the babies And you work some more Now listen ladies If you think we're done we've only just begun. Oh you go to school And they tell you that you're equal But in the big wide world That just means half the people. And one thing you don't see There ain't no dicks on page three So if you have a girl please remind her this: You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster Don't take no shit off no lord, no master Don't listen when they say "how far you've come!" Coz you go to work and you raise the babies And you work some more Now listen ladies If you think we're done we've only just begun. If you think we're done we've only just begun. If you think we're done we've only just begun. Only got started, only got started So far to go, so far to go now. And if I wear my skirt short, don't mean I don't have a brain And if cover myself from head to toe, don't mean that I'm in chains. I don't have to hate men to know that life ain't fair. Oh I see how far we have to go But I know, I know, I know that we'll get there
