I'm that girl you think
that's got it figured out,
but I walk around
with a head full of doubt
the cruelest words about me
come from my own mouth
la da de
la de da
yeah I'm that girl
who wants what I ain't got,
who looks in the mirror
and sees all that I'm not
wish I could jump off
that reckless chain of thought
la da de
la de da
Well its a cruel, cruel world.
For Collie and her golden home coming crown
For Penny's dirty secret getting spread all over town
For Hanna and her skinny jeans, so damn scared to eat
Well the DJ haunts the halls
and the boys never call
and I guess we're all the same after all
Nervous girls
Well I'm that girl
who gave my heart up
got close to picture perfect
or at least close enough
to watch the pieces scatter
then pick 'em all up
la da de
la de da
Oh but I still believe in love.
For Heather waiting tables, tryna pick up from the past
For Jenny with that diamond ring and a vow that didn't last
For Alice turning thirty through that lookin' glass.
Well the DJ haunts the halls
And the boys they never call
and I guess we're all the same after all
nervous girls
ooooo, ooooo, ooooo.
I'm scared and I'm brave
or somewhere between the two
I'm beautifully strong
and tragically confused
yeah I'm that girl
that's just like you
Well the DJ haunts the halls
and when the boys finally call...
we're not sure that we want 'em after all.
