Just a Girl (v5.5)
Lo-fi Canadian country instrumentation with twangy acoustic guitar, dusty brushed drums, upright bass, and subtle pedal steel, The deep female vocals, blend intimately with the warmth of tape hiss and gentle vinyl crackle, evoking rustic charm

Lyrics
Verse 1
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
Chorus
'Cause I'm just a girl, o, little old me
Well, don't let me out of your sight
Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Post-Chorus
Oh, I've had it up to here
Verse 2
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
Chorus
'Cause I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive late at night
Oh, I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare with their eyes
Oh, I'm just a girl, take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Post-Chorus
Oh, I've had it up to here
Oh, am I making myself clear?
Bridge
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world
That's all that you'll let me be
Chorus
Oh, I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome
Oh, I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to is making me numb
Oh, I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
Oh, I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum, there's no comparison
Outro
Oh, I’ve had it up to
Oh, I’ve had it up to
Oh, I’ve had it up to here
