Verse 1:
I saw a spider I didn’t scream
Cause I can belch the alphabet
Just double dog dare me
And I chose guitar over ballet
And I take these suckers down
cause they just get in my way
Refrain 1:
The way you look at me
Is kind of like a little sister
Rubbed by your goodbyes
And it leaves me
Gm(hold)
nothing but blisters
Chorus:
So I don’t want to be
just one of the boys
One of the guys
Just give me a chance to
prove to you tonight that
I just want to be
one of the girls
Pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys
Verse 2:
So over the summer
something changed
I started reading Seventeen
and shaving my legs
And I studied
Lolita religiously
And I walked right into school
and caught you staring at me
Refrain 2:
Cause I know what you know
But now you’re going to
have to take a number
It’s okay maybe one day
but not until you give
Gm(hold)
me my diamond ring
Chorus 2:
Cause I don’t want
to be one of the boys
One of your guys
Just give me a chance to
prove to you tonight that
I just want to be
a homecoming queen
Pinup poster dream
Not one of the boys
Bridge:
I want to be a flower
not a dirty weed
I want to smell like roses
not a baseball team
And I swear maybe one day
you’re going to want to
Gm(hold)
make out make out
make out with me
(Repeat Chorus 1)

2.) I Kissed A Girl
Key: C
Verse 1:
This was never the way i planned,
not my intention.
i got so brave, drink in hand,
lost my discretion.
It's not what i'm used to,
just want to try you on.
i'm curious, for you,
caught my attention.
Chorus:
I kissed a girl,
and I liked it.
The taste of her cherry chapstick.
I kissed a girl,
Just to try it.
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
It felt so right.
Don't mean i'm in love tonight.
I kissed a girl,
And I liked it.
I liked it
Verse 2:
(Same chords throughout the whole song)
No, I don't even know your name,
It doesn't matter.
Your my experimental game,
Just human nature.
It's not what good girls do,
Not how they should behave.
My head gets so confused,
Hard to erase.
(Repeat chorus)
Bridge:
Us girls we are so magical,
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable,
Hard to resist, so touchable.
To good to deny it.
Ain't no big deal,
Its innocent.
(Repeat Chorus)
Outro:
I kissed a girl,
And I liked it.
I liked it

Why are these lights so bright
Oh did we get hitched last

Remember what you told me

You got me into this
Information overload
situation lost control
Send out an S.O.S.

Remember what you told me
Remember what you told me
told me told me heyyy!!!
